Hot Wheels Ferrari Team Truck playset; Iveco F1 transporter

I got this in the mail on Friday, it is the Hot Wheels Ferrari Team Truck F1 Transporter playset. I was sent a picture of this truck awhile back while doing a trade. I did a lot of searching and asking around, and I only found two people who reported finding it here in the US. I'm sure there were more, but it seems that most were sent overseas mostly to Europe and South America. He was kind enough to send me the UPC from the truck which helped me tremendously in trying to track one down. Over the course of the last few months I have found three for sale, all in other countries and none of the sellers would ship to the US. One finally came up on Ebay from a seller in France and I just barely managed to win the auction for it. The truck itself is entirely made of plastic and includes several garage diorama pieces, F1 pit crew and an F1 car. The side of the truck unfolds to reveal a lift inside the truck and a short track with a launcher. I can only imagine how much fun I would have had with a set like this as a kid, but still being a kid at heart it is one of the coolest pieces I have in my collection. The truck is much larger than 1/64 scale, probably closer to 1/43 but given how much is packed into it that is OK. I went a little overboard on the pictures but I hope you enjoy them.

Wow! That is one awesome playset - lots and lots of play value with this one. I can see it being popular in Europe where formula one racing is popular.

It's a playset, but a good looking one at that.

This has got to be the best looking Hot Wheels truck and trailer set I've seen.
