Great collecting! I try to get these but they are always over $20. I managed to score a lot of 5 of them loose-mint for $13 last year though.

Thanks for showing these, Patrick!

I really regret not picking these up, namely the Western Star Wrecker, and the Internationals.

Those are all very nice - I am still missing a couple variations on the fire trucks.

I only collected the Military models and the flat bed tow trucks, which fits a miniature sized model nicely. And then I have all the ones that came with the Mission Force sets.

But since there has been a slow down in new miniatures to collect I have found myself collecting all the RWR's that I didn't get when they first came out. Using them to satisfy my Matchbox collecting habit.

Ambassador's Report for this week says the RWR Pierce Quantum ladder and Velocity tower will be used for a "special item" this year. I say, myself it might be in the Supreme Heroes line, but I guess we will have to wait until they are revealed.

You and me (us all) would love to have seen this series continue and include more and more emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks/engines.

The good news is that it sounds like there will be new liveries on some of the existing RWR fire trucks in the future; sadly, no NEW castings.
