First time I've ever found M2 castings in a big box store as opposed to the Flea Market!

I'm in love with the Cutlass, being that it's the only casting I've got that has closed windows, with opening doors!

And the PIP Studebaker is another big score for me, being that I was just talking about PIPs last week?

Nice! I haven't seen an M2 in a clamshell in quite some time.

They did a great job with the Olds...the door openings are very nicely done. When they are closed, they are HARD to get open...at least on the orange and white issue I have!

Think you'll find that for the $ that M2 has as good of detail as one can find. Congrats on the new buys Jermaine. :thumbup:

The clamshell is the type of package used in the above pics. The box type has a plastic base just like the clamshells but also comes with a clear acrylic display piece over the top. Other than the display case there is just a cardboard wrap around to toss afterwards.

The Tornio rocks but I think everyone is well aware of my liking for that casting.

Thats Olds really rocks that color and the Torino is cool! Its funny there is a dark blue Torino like that is roaming the streets at the same time I'm going to work each day. I don't know what he has in it but it can move when it wants too.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
I wish WM would sell the clamshell packaging instead of the ice cubes. The cubes are always a mess, get scratched, cracked from dropping( and breaking parts off the cars), and the boxes are very shopworn.
I'm so GLAD that WM sells the M2's, because I buy them, and open them, so sometimes I buy beat up cubes. I just think it's poor product display.

This I always see in shipping or hobby shops.

So I definitely agree!

Never seen the Torino. It must be popular around here.
