Won these Tropicana piggybacks on ebay last night for $10.50. My overall bid was so low I never even looked last night to see the auction end.
I believe the low bids was due to the poor display of the trailers being crowded together in the upside down box...

I only have one very nice boxed set of the True Value trucks on flat car Microbus. This is my 3rd set of the Tropicanas... One set is loose.

Wow. I have never seen the Tropicana trailers before. I had the True Value car as a kid. I have been looking for a replacment. They seem more expensive than others.

Yes x2f, the True Value trucks usually demand a decent dollar amount. I like the piggy backs & have 47 trailers of all the different ones Tyco offered.

I can't verify if there is Night Glow piggybacks made by Tyco or not but I do know this. I have looked at the "newly listed" Tyco ebay auctions almost nightly for 10 years and I don't remember seeing any...
Myself, I'm not much of a fan of night Glow trains & slot cars, but I know others like it which is fine
Maybe another member on here can verify the Night Glow trucks.
