I've never seen the Sparker before (or a lot of these, really). The Sparker is cool in a weird sort of way! |

I've got the purple version left over from my childhood collection. The others are all new to me. I had hoped this might be one we'd see in the 60th Anniversary line as it exemplifies 1980s MB quite well. |

This is really a pretty nice truck when done realistically. I going to go against the grain and say the sparker is my least favorite though. Too much neon plastic for my taste. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

This is a great casting. If it appeared in the Matchbox Across America series than this tooling managed to make the move from New Jersey to California so it's theoretically possible it could return. I just wouldn't hold my breath. That said, it would be nice to see this one come back in a nice, plain scheme, for the first time in it's quarter century of existance. |

There are many more paint schemes that have been used on the Dakota in more 5-packs, as well. I just dont have those unpacked just yet. The Dakota was also somewhat recently used in at least two of the Spongebob licensed 5-packs, so evidently, the casting is still available. The only plain paint version of the Dakota that I know of, is the all white Graffic Traffic version, which Swifty bought from pjedsel before I had time to snag it for myself.
