Got a Maisto 5 pack at DG for this.

Nice! Yours has them?!! Mine has had the sticker on the peg for Maisto 5-packs for more than two years now, but their own off-brand stays there because it sells slowly. I'm not wasting time or money picking up the 5-6 on the pegs just to see 5-6 more, and not Maisto restocked in their place. Normally, I do this to ditch a few slow-movers, but I swear they've got dozens in the back.
Maisto may have no windows, but they're one of my favorite brands.
Yup mate, I hear ya!
Out here, it's the exact opposite.
The higher end ones cleaned out, and the 5-packs get snatched up by parents.
A sic new hauler set ('55 Chevy/C-30) dropped, have to pick it up.
Now if they would only drop a Camaro again, i'd be pumped!

Went to the flea market today and the owner had just laid out a bunch of 1/64th diecasts he had just purchased at an auction.Many collectibles but way overpriced for my taste. Did find these two used ones for $5 the pair and this Solido wrecker in 1/43rd scale for another fiver.
I used to LOVE Mad Magazine!
And a Ghostbusters Wagon oh MY....
It's too wet to paint but I tried anyway.
Have a 58 Caddy Eldorado
And a 69 Mercury Cougar
Well done mate!
That Solido is an especially sweet score...

Caddy to be green maybe and cougar red.
I liked the Don Martin cartoon characters on it. There were two GhostBusters wagons that he had but he wanted to keep the earlier model.This one is painted with pearl paint.
The Solido is really unusual;first of all it purports to be a 1941 Dodge wrecker.As far as I know Dodge never made a pickup in 1941.There was a Plymouth model I believe that shared bodies with the Dodge automobiles. The decal on the door represents the Toy Train Operating Society Southwestern Division. I'm wondering if this is indeed a legitimate organization and if so was it possibly a special order item for them? There is what looks like a date on the left rear fender(11-94) which is possibly when it was made;there are no other dates on either the vehicle or the base.

They did something similar a while back. If memory serves me correctly, it was new for 1998 and called Express Lane.
