Bigger the truck, smaller the peen. Universal constant. Okay, that Tundra is _NICE._ I have zero in my garage so this 5-pack is now on my radar, thanks Joe! The Bronco is fun, yet goofy because of the dramatically different wheel well sizes. Guess that's for the *functional* Carolina Squat on the Ford. Between what you reveal and what I see on Reddit, my feeling is "let's not go to eBay; 'tis a silly place." $30 doubloons for that pack, no thanks. Yeah, Gulf Racing will make a Fiat Multipla look good. Glad you scored the Laurel in it! Edit: meant to also say even the one fantasy car is neat, but I like Blade Raider too. Fantasy cars with the proper fun vibe get an easy pass into my garage

Love to get my hands on the McLaren in that Gulf livery.

I remember when that Gulf set came out. At the time the car Culture cases had uneven numbers of each casting and there was only 1 of the Golf's in each case and it was impossible to find. That was the first time I made a big score at Barnes and Noble and I found 2 of the Golf's after looking for them for 2 weeks. The Laurel was an easy find.

I found that five pack but it was in a motor show pack, some one must have stole a motor show pack. Someone returned some shenanigans

Repackers deserve a *special seat* in the bad place. Absolute bottom-feeders of the hobby. Help me out, you found all the off road trucks but in the Motor Show packaging? That is beyond goofy for a factory error and way more effort in repacking by a scummy person. So strange, but it is what it is

Upon closer inspection the bottom Truck was replaced with the mainline Tacoma and the top truck was replaced with a matchbox black truck. I’m going back to buy it and show you if it’s still there.

Our Target asks almost $8 (usd) for the 5 packs. But, I wanted the Tundra, so eight bucks it was. A wheel swap really wakes that Tundra model up. I fall into the rare "compact truck asshole" category. We're a small group, but dedicated.

The only place around here that charges that much for a 5-pack is publix. I think you have them in the Carolinas. Family Dollar actually has a pretty good selection of five packs.

@@IgnitionDiecast Thanks! Yeah, the north Target has them for about $6. It's the south Target that's asking almost $8. Maybe they raised the price to take advantage of the popularity, or so they can "discount" them to $6 for holiday shoppers, lol. Also, "our" WM recently raised the price of the diorama sets by $2, to $29.95. What's crazy is, it's on the same half dozen Jay Leno's Garage sets that haven't even sold at the lower price for the last 6 months or so. 🤷

I like the Laurel Teenie True Scale Wheels.

It IS quite the shock to eyes so accustomed to Hot Wheels when we see more scale accurate wheels on diecast

Here’s the difference: Joe owns real vehicles and buys Hot Wheels. Hot Wheelers at the Convention buy tiny cars, gather in small hotel rooms not doing naughty things!
