Default Maisto Car Hauler

Since we've been on the topic of the new Maisto xB Highway Patrol version, I ran across a cool idea for displaying our 1/64 xB's. I, like some of you have been keeping xB's in the original packaging. But, for example, I already had red/silver and black Dub City xB's sitting out for two years. (Long before we bought our two full size boxes).
Anyway, Maisto has a series out now with an Escalade and trailer or better yet, a rollback car hauler. They have great wheels and the black one comes with a little VW notchback and the red one comes with a Mustang. What's cool is the black Dub City and red/silver xB 's are a perfect color match for the trucks. See what you think....

Wow, a 1:64 hauler thread! What a great idea!

glock32, have any pics of the Maisto haulers or is it the "Transporterz" that dane posted?

Man, some of you guy's collections make mine look like a starter kit!

Too bad. It looks good! Glad its not another one to add to the hunt list. It would be cool to do one up in every actual xB factory color. Hmm.

Uh, anyone have an extra Spiderman f/s or f/t?
