Matchbox Opel Frogster

My wife brought home my 3 year old son with some new Matchbox cars. It is a set of five that all have a Jimmy Neutron characters on them. For those who don't know, Jimmy Neutron is a cartoon character.
Anyway, we were opening them up and I was checking them out and what do I see on one but a Blitz! It is an Opel Frogster. I did a little searching on line and found the Frogster was a prototype in '01 that never went to market.
Well, I went back to Target and got my own unopened set and found the single as well that was a whopping $0.99.
On Matchbox's website they also show a Speedster, but I couldn't find it. Has anyone else found the Speedster?

Hey George:
How's it going ? The Matchbox Speedster and Frogster were issued maybe two years ago. The original issue of the Frogster is an emerald green sort of color, and the original Speedster was issued in silver. I haven't yet seen the Speedster in any set like you have there with the Frogster, but that doesn't mean they haven't done one. If you can't find a Speedster, let me know - I may have an extra that I could send you. I bought a bunch to give away at Opels Across America a couple of years ago.
