A nice casting, but not a treasure hunt. If the tires are rubber (i think being redlines they are) it is the wal mart exclusive version though.

I thought Olds too because of the split in the grill. I'm glad I wasn't alone in thinking that. Those are very nice scores!

According to the Hot Wheels Wiki, this is the Wal-Mart exclusive version of the 2009 Modified Rides Series Dairy Delivery. This is a favorite casting of my father's, since he loves Divcos.

New Coke! That was a commercial failure, so it's real neat that you got a promo item for it. Can you post a shot of the black truck on the trailer?

That's pretty cool! I would have never guessed it was a Mercedes G wagon. I get to work with those semi-frequently, and they seem like a breath of the past in this modern era.

I am jealous of the Transformers lunchbox for $1. I actually use the older lunchboxes because their latches are far superior to the modern reproduction ones.

Sorry I didn't check in on this sooner. I've been busy lately and it just slipped my mind.

Interesting tidbit is that the real Trabant was a car made from a fiberglass made out of old clothes and rags, while the model is metal. Nice little Trabant. I'd assume it's Soviet or East German (GDR) made.
