Wow! Those are really some neat looking models! And already I can see what a great Ambassador you will be just from this small report. You really take this job seriously. Kudos to that! As for the Matchboxes, they both look interesting for generics. The SWAT truck (a.k.a. 'Rolling Raider')looks to be a bit more realistic to me than the 'Fire Stalker.' (What a ridiculous name...... ) Well, at least they stuck true to the RWR name with just those two models having an abundance of working parts. Sky Busters don't really interest me, so not much to say on that topic.. Now I can't wait for the next report.....I have a REALLY good feeling that either the 2012 Dodge Charger Pursuit or the 2012 Ford Utility Police Interceptor ('Explorer') will be in it....... !!![]() Edited by mbx64, Aug 27 2012, 11:09 AM.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I'm disappointed that the Real Working Rigs no longer have real licensed castings. These look okay but won't join my collection. |

Yeah, I don't think that RWR are gonna stay for 2013. It's sad, but I think most of us can see it coming. They really didn't last long, did they?

They have a great pricepoint and lots of fun working parts for the kids. I don't see them getting discontinued but I do see focus shifting away from them, allowing the line to wilt and die an agonizingly slow and painful death. Like Hitch & Haul. |
