New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
I was making my end of the workweek stops before my long drive home, and decided to put back about $10 worth of diecasts I had in my hands at TRU. Stopped in the Target, saw this, and bang, no savings again this week---I'm over budget again with these little toy cars!!!!

That's the trouble with this hobby, Ivan - it's impossible to set a budget for what you buy. I've tried it before but it's never worked. If I see something I like and it's the right price, I'll buy it. End of.

Agreed. No matter what the budget says, there's always room for cars.

Likewise. None of the others move me in the least. As for running out of cash because of diecasts- that's happened to me more times than I care to admit...

Much cheaper to buy some of the older ones from the '90s used than to buy multiple new ten packs for just one model. ;)

JAMES, I didn't even notice that the plow was back on that truck until right after I took the photo, and started putting the vehicles in my "Jammer" display boxes. I hope the next single release of the truck will also have the plow.

Support your local demo derby.

The generic Wrecker and flatbed look good.

STANGFREAK, I think this is one of those mid-year releases that contain all UNIQUE color revamps, not available as mainlines or in five packs, so it is worth it to get it for the ones you like---that's why I bought it. These certainly would look good on your dioramas!!
