While I was in downtown Eugene, Oregon, I found these diecast and this 1990 Toysrus carry case in a trash pile outside of a recently vacated rental property undergoing repairs between tenants. I saw the 48-car case out of my peripheral vision and had to find a safe place to turn around and look, even though I was expecting a waterlogged or moldy, broken-up case with no trays and a few corroded or smashed cars.

When I opened the top, much to my surprise... full case! Couldn't resist 48 free diecast, the equivalent of $24 in St. Vincent DePaul bin of death cars, and a case worth at least a buck once I fix some damage with red duct tape.

These castings are quite nice, and with the Purple Passion, '53 Chevy Bel Air, So Fine, Tail Dragger, Corvette Grand Sport, etc., whoever collected these knew something about the hobby as opposed to just collecting cars to play with.
