So....what's up with the Jolly Rodger & why did we think (at one time) that we'd never see a reissue of the BH truck?
Read all about it at Bonedigger's Styrene Archaeology

No worries, though-
Here are the reissues-



also pictured, down at the bottom, is the

pretty cool car though.
if I ever were to get a car, it very well might look like this one.
