    This is a Motor Max diorama like the one discussed in another thread, just this one is an "American Graffiti, Moments in Time" version.

    I found these (bought two) at a Toys "R" Us while visiting Wichita Kansas.

    Haven't seen them anywhere else, but then, I live in the sticks.

    I got one yesterday! :dance: First thing like that I have ever found at our local Wally World. It was In a box with Mustang II's, Pinto's, and AMC's. One was missing from the box, and there was two of everything else, so I'm guessing that somebody beat me to the yellow one as mine is red....

    At the website mini-motorsonline.com they have all the dioramas (of course the Maverick is out of stock) at 6.49 (without shipping). These are the regular Moments In Time/Garage etc. sets. They also have other Motormax items there as well.

    A Mustang diorama is in stock so you could put a Maverick in its place.

    Local WallyMart here in Maryland had the sign for them but were already all gone when I checked saturday, Have to go back and check again, Also they had the 1:18s in the plastic case but at 7.99 I'd prefer the 1:24s for 9.99.

    Our wal-mart here is a war zone. Lots of rearranging and construction. Most of the new stock isn't even on the shelf. Still biting my nails until they fully reassemble the toy section....

    Found one of these at the only wally world worth a damn near me. Had the yellow mav in it. They also had the mustang and pinto and a crappy dodge looking wood station wagon. Oh the other Motormax I saw was 1:43 scale I think and did not have a Maverick, Just big cars like caprices and I believe I saw a Crown Vic. Sorry for the misinformation. I'm just happy to just to find one of these things finally.
