New 5-packs at TRU; licensed from cable tv.....

Shark Week from Discovery Channel, Monster Week from Animal Planet

Listed for $6.99, I guess because of the licensing fees. Nothing of interest to me in either one, not just because of the price, either. Though, the "yellow cab" and the van are nicely done....just not worth the inflated price for the 5-pack to me.

I did pick up a couple of the singles from Shark Week (I believe I posted pics a month or so ago), neither of which is in this 5-pack, so these may be "exclusive" designs for the 5-packs....and I think those singles are TRU exclusives. Perhaps these 5-packs are, too?

The Monsters represented are "Nessie", the Loch Ness monster, seen on the Garbage Gulper or whatever the green thing is called; a pteranodon (I think) on the generic but otherwise realistic Taxi; unknown on the tracked dump truck (forgettable casting with forgotten name....IMHO); and I couldn't figure out what's on the pickup or what's on the Torque Titan.

The problem I had when I'd seen them, not enough models in either for me to like, a couple in either I liked the castings and wouldn't mind the graphics so much on them, but I didn't even know about the higher price then, which I really don't like for these then.
