I always like a good 5-pack. When it comes to newer Hot Wheels, I try to keep my collection focused on just a few castings – mostly Impalas and Novas. But every once in awhile, one of the castings that I collect gets released in a 5-pack, which gives me an excuse to bring home some other models that I don’t normally get to enjoy. I found this 2003 Hot Wheels Concrete Cruisers 5-pack back in March at J&J’s Treasures. Not only does it include a nice ’65 Chevy Impala, but it has 4 other knockout models – and all of these are exclusive to this set.
