I recently picked up this two pack of Matchbox M.A.C figures, while i was fan of the series as a kid I have no memory of these. Its gate fold packaging with 3-D overtones is truly one of the nicest, most well thought out cards i've ever seen. I paid $25 for this, sometimes the best stuff is hiding in plain sight.

I have both of those guys, plus another, but I bought them loose on Ebay for $5.00. They're actually more poseable than the Star Wars figures that soon followed.
My first MAC pieces I bought at a Montgomery Wards in Lafeyette Indiana. They weren't in boxes, just bagged. I asked the guy how much they were, he said 2 bits. I had to ask him how much that was lol. So I bought both of the firetrucks for 50 cents plus tax. They were the thinner slim bodies not the muscle type that are on your card. Over the next year or two, I had the helicopter, boat, ambulance, and the huge command vehicle that has twin bunk beds, room in the back for a vehicle, ladder and storage pods on the sides. Still have a few of the accessories lying around as they worked well with my Micronauts. Still have the command vehicle even.
