For the longest time, I really enjoyed, hunting, finding, and adding M2s to my collection. As well as customizing them. I spent $18.83 for 3 M2 Detroit Muscle series cars, and all 3 were messed up. Doors don't fit right on the first Torino, hood would not close on the second Torino, and the hood is twisted on the Daytona. That's $5.88 each plus tax at Walmart. I disassembled the Torinos and was able to do some bending and adjusting to get them acceptiable, but found these funky screws holding the Daytona together. In the first place, at 6 bucks a car, I should not have to be taking them apart and fixing nothing. Second, I build a shelf for my M2s with 132 spaces, some holding 2 cars, so now do I have to spend more money on a special tool to fix them ? About 1/3 are the Drivers series at 4 bucks each so lets say an average of 5 bucks a car with about 175 cars, that comes to about $875.00 spent on M2s. Not counting the haulers and the 1/24 scales. Well over a thousand bucks for this kind of quality. NO MORE !!! It really ticked me off to see these special headed screws, like I say, now I have to go buy special tools to fix them !!! I don't see any M2s joining my collection in the future, unless it is extremely cool and I open it right in the store and inspect it to the max !!! M2s are the most expensive cars out there and I believe they should be top quality... I am seriously bummed over this matter... Does anyone agree with me ?

Don't blame you at all, especially at that price point... And to have all 3 with a problem.. That is a big disappointment...

I hear what your saying, I love what M2 is doing but I look at every one I buy very closely before buying
