New Maistos

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.

Sounds like my philosophy on shopping for minicars... :lol:

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!
