This month we got to take a close look at the new car culture series Cargo Carriers. This year Mattel has really stepped up their game with the Car Culture series. The cars have also increased a bit in price, but wow, these cars are amazing! This particular set features 5 cars that are as Mattel calls them, "unsung heroes-the Cargo Carriers." As with all the Car Culture sets, the cars in this set have all metal bodies and Real Rider wheels. The cars in this set are the Volkswagen T1 Panel Bus, The Ford Transit Super Van, the Volkswagen Sunagon, the Nissan C10 Skyline Wagon, and the Honda Odyssey. It quickly became apparent that the Nissan C10 Skyline Wagon is the most popular of the set. It wasn't however the most difficult for me to secure. I fist saw the set at Walmart, minus the Volkswagon Sunagon. I picked up the rest of the set, and headed to 2 other Walmarts in the area. One didn't have any of the Cargo Carriers, but the other had several of the set. However it did not have any of the Sunagons either.
