Anyway, I found a green machine 1970 Olds 442 in a 5 pack of Muscle Cars at KMart. Does the fact that is in the 5-pack bring the value down any? Not looking to sell or trade just wondering what I've got. I've done the Hotwheels and JL thing for years so are these like TH's and White Lightnings? Thanks for any help.

As far as value, 5 packs generally bring a little less money than singles. Most folks keep their greenies IN the package and are careful not to let the package get damaged. 5-pack packaging is hard to protect with it's fragile plastic front and top, and take up more space which is always an issue for me. On top of that you pay $20+ for a 5 pack so there is not a big profit margin if you resell. Hope this helps. Welcome to the boards!

Thanks for the info rattlehed. That's what I was think but wanted to be sure. Still a great looking set to have.

Yep, I'm from the Spawn board. Have been there for years but decided to come over here to get some better info on diecast. Who are you over there?

I found it at a store as you can see from the price sticker on the front. It was $20.99. There are still a few at the store without any GM's.
