While searching for something entirely different...I stumbled across these. I don't recall seeing these anywhere...so enjoy.
Oh..."plaidstallions.com" is a neat '70's site...also sharing a link to "Christmas in the 70's."

The DC Comics cars are fairly common on one of those popular auction sites. My first childhood with Tyco ended in 1977 and I never had any of the 4 comic cars. I never was much of a fan of the comics though I really like the old Batmobile.

LOL, I meant the adverts themselves were uncommon, not the actual rolling stock.
It did read that way, though.

No worries, Mr. Walt. Next time I will "Be Specific-"

HEY...that was an actual Tyco pun!

I'm a comic book guy, so these are some of my favorites. Interesting how the actual product differs from the ads. The Batman car doesn't have that "as seen on TV" thing and the Wonder Woman picture isn't at the same angle.
I've mentioned it before, but Shazam was my first Tyco purchase. And btw...Plaid Stallions is outta sight.

I saw at least 3 of these 4 at a local train show a week ago, they were priced around $15 each. I didn't want them, so passed. I DID buy a Kelvinator box car, though, to go with my AMC car company train consist. :)
