OK, remember my mini-rant a few posts back, concerning the Hot Wheels and Mego cars?

Well, this Corgi ad kind of proves my point... looking at this ad, remembering when I originally saw it... I wanted the Supermobile, the Metropolis Police Car, and the two Daily Planet vehicles (chopper and truck).

I didn't want the Superman van. No siree!

Also, isn't it amusing, if not ironic, that there were two ads for Superman merchandise in this Marvel comic book?
