Forces of Valor

[MichaelB]

Just a note of the passing of Forces of Valor Macho Machines Skyward X die cast toys at Target. All now in the clearance bin. Nice enough die cast in about 1/144 of the usual fare: F-22, F-16, F-117.
If it's any consolation the vast majority of the remaindered pieces are AFV, tanks and etc. There were only two aircraft in the lot and I bought them both.
I had reported these being in the store a few months ago. Nice enough quality for what they are.
This leaves Target with (sigh) the typical Matchbox releases which have been quiet for the past few months. I've seen dramatic price increases for Matchbox and Maisto. Used to be under $2, now they push $4. These Macho Machines are clearance priced at $2.08.
What was new on the rack were a number of pieces emblazoned with the Maisto label - but all cars and etc. No planes...but...we can hope..
