Speed Wheels 25th Anniversary set (Maisto)

Speed Wheels are a Walgreen's brand, distributed by East West Distributing Co.. The Small Scale Diecast guide informs that over the years they included Maisto, Motormax, and Welly in packaging marked by this brand.

They seemed to offer the Maisto brand there for a number of years now, and these are Maisto castings with special tampos for the Speed Wheels annv.. I can't remember either if there were others with the special tampo, but it doesn't seem there was, at least at the store I picked this set up.

This set includes some nice models, except the lowride stance of the Hummer....Anybody know if there were other models, singles or multipacks like this?

It's been a few years since I got these, and I can't even remember the year, can anyone help with either, what the anniversary year was, or when the Speed Wheels brand began? It's too bad they didn't add a date to the logo, but the best I can do is notice licensing on the package dating as late as 2006, but that could mean these were available anytime between 2006, and 2012 when I packed them in a box.

Thanks,
Doug

I remember seeing them, mid-00s, don't recall exactly when. I passed at the time.
