I picked up a box of those too.

I guess you like the rocket launcher the best! A rocket launcher on a Vespa?

Saw tis one at WalMart tonight. I really want the Vespa with the bazooka, just for the sheer fantastic absurdity of a rocket launcher mounted on a moped! Not enough to buy the whole set, though.

That one was made for a terrorist. :p

I saw those too but didn't buy them. It wasn't that I didn't like them, it was just that I found a set by New Ray (if I remember correctly) that I liked more. They are smaller scale than those Maistos - perhaps 1:24. No bazooka bike in the New Ray offering though. By the way, the French used that military Vespa. Here's a tidbit about it.

What a cool set! I had a couple mopeds around 1980. One was a Peugot (sp) but I don't remember the other one.

These are motor scooters, not mopeds! If I remember correctly, I think that a moped can be pedalled as a bicycle. The scooter cannot.
