As much as I like the look of this bus, and have seen them a few times on the pegs, I haven't got myself to buy it, partly because I'm trying to be more focused on which kind of models I collect now, and the other part is it seems to be mostly if not all plastic.

My question is: Will it fit into a Jammers case regular slot?
Thanks,

Yes it does. Even in the blister (backwards, card-back facing the 'door' of the jammers case).

I'm not opposed to plastic bodies, though I note them as part of my decision whether to buy. I thought this bus design is better than the other 'city' bus in the line so I bought this one just to have another bus in case I ever set up a play table with my HO town buildings.

As others have noted, the design of the bus itself is nice, but I don't want to reward the use of plastic bodies buying one.

KMart sells cases of Hot Wheels (online) according to Lamley's blog....perhaps they sell Matchbox cases, too? I haven't checked because after watching Lamley's L-case unboxing this morning (the case/batch with the Skyline), the Skyline and Caddy ambulance are the only things I want and there were only 2 skylines in the case, and only one ambulance. 2 each of the new casting tracked tow truck thingee ("Wheelin' Wrecker") and some other generic/"Matchbox original" and the Hydro Cruiser, but only one ambulance as far as what came out of that case. A whole lot of blah--in my opinion--in a 24-count case (there was only ONE each of the new orange recolor of the Jaguar F-type, the new color of the Swamp Raider, the new color of the Karmann Ghia type 34--which recently came out in the Alphabet blox 26-car Target exclusive, and Cadillac CTS in blue. These last 4 are all new to this batch, except the Karmann as noted.)

So, if you want doubles of some generics and ONE double of a NEW casting or color, this case is for YOU!
