No pics so apologies on that front. In the last few weeks I spotted what looked like a '12/'13 Ford Focus and a brand new Shelby Mustang models from Maisto. Both were in 5 or 10 packs but I didn't buy them. Anyone else seen these yet? This would be at least the 3rd new casting from Maisto this year in their basic sub $1 line joining the new Corvette Sting Ray. |

Yes. I've got the Mustang Boss, but passed on the 10-pack with the Focus ST. Both look pretty good, for typical interiorless Maistos, but each these cars is already available from at least one other manufacturer each, with superior results. I will grab the Focus when I see it as a single, or in a smaller pack with other cars I can also find a use for. |

Approx $0.86 for the Maisto, versus $6.99 for the Auto World. Just to keep things in perspective. |

As the Auto World is at least 10x the car this one looks to be, I think it's a bargain

I'm not knocking Auto World.... I decided not to stop at just one (I never stop at just one - unless there's only one to be had). I enjoy having this one, for what it is, and the Auto Worlds. And when I can get my hands on the Majorette, I'll get that one, too. And if Summer ever makes one, I'll snag it, as well. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
|
Mine too! This Maisto would be better with an interior, but is presentable without it. |

A wheel swap would make the Boss that much better. I'll be grabbing this one for sure, along with the Corvette Stingray. Thanks for the pics, Dean! |

Wait til you see Maisto's Focus ST. That'll make you appreciate the Greenlight effort 10x better, also. |

I may grab a few new Maistos, but I'd have to plan on a wheel swap. |

Dollar Tree has the Ford Mustang 302 along with the new Vette Stingray on single blisters for a $1. No sign of the new Focus. |

The Boss has 2013 tail lights, but an earlier color. Odd if you ask me. |

Variety is the spice of life. As much as I enjoy an accurate diecast Scale Model I love chasing the diecast Toys much more! |
