    The red G-Class was never released as a single, to the best of knowledge (even though it was on the back of the card). Good to see it here!

      Wow! That is a nice looking five pack.

        I wouldn't mind finding this maybe at a closeout store or something, as this series, singles or 5pks, never appeared at retail stores around me. My particular interest is in the National Parks Unimog, but I'd be also happy enough with the G wagon, and 6 wheel truck if I run across the 5pk..

          No sign of this in the stores. I’ve been debating spending $12-15 on eBay just to get the G wagen. Can’t get myself to do it.

            Didn't realize the red G-wagen was limited to this set, but debated it for about a minute, and then pressed the button. Otherwise I'd regret it later when they sell for more. Also, others were new to The Closeum. I think I have the UNIMOG (in that livery). Others may be color variations. Thought the CLS500 looked good in blue.

            "Buying Now" gives me that 100% secure feeling in both summer and winter.

              Don't do it, brother. The more these "sellers" get supported, the more scalping will continue to take place. Don't do it!

                Think it would be nice if all collectors were included.
                For example, some folks live in remote locations far
                away from a Wal-Mart, perhaps without transportation.
                Some collectors have a busy schedule with work and
                family allowing limited time to chase down cars.
                Should they go without? Or how about given a choice
                to pay a service provider a small fee for delivering
                diecast right to the comfort of their own home.

                  My Walmarts stopped carrying the Jurassic series. I will definitely be buying the crushed Explorer online when I see it.

                    Great packaging and nice selection with the exception of the G series 6x6. That is so undersized and narrow- I can't stand it.

                      I'm seeing Jurassic vehicles at my Walmarts, but not the new 'battle damaged' series. It's almost like someone in a warehouse somewhere found a stash of the old ones and heard the new series was coming out so rushed these onto trucks to fool us into thinking we found something 'new'....

                        There are always exceptions to the rule, Eric, but I've seen some fairly ruthless characters snatching all of the cool cars they can get their hands on. I sincerely doubt that these guys have benevolence in mind.

                          I've been tempted I just cant pull the trigger for 1 car!

                            Suppose its a matter of opinion. Mine is based upon over 20 years on eBay and toy car message boards.
                            Trying to convince others to just say no about buying cars on eBay is an uphill battle, good luck.

                              Saw this in the store today and thought it was the red G-Wagen that previously only came in the 5-pack, but obviously, it was not that one.
