In
the last year, I found two promotional packs (from different sellers),
each of them including two complete collections from the mid 90s.
They
come from Germany in a white box with several copyright (1994) and
license notices in German (same sticker in both sets, even though one of
them does not include cars from the brands that the license indicates:
Ferrari, Chevrolet...), and a German address.
The
first one has two collections of great racing cars: Ferrari, Porsche,
Ford, Mercedes... some of the greatest brands of all times are
represented.
The second one has a set of
firefighters and a public workers, each of them with 3 vehicles and 3
people, where one of the vehicles is a "bigger" one: a long fire truck
with ladder or a mobile
construction
crane.
They are very rare, I have seen them only from one seller each.
The
sport cars set was offered to me by a seller (not on eBay) and I bought
the only two boxes this person had. He told me that they were a present
for visitors at a car fair in Vienna by the mid 90s, what I found very
interesting. Promotional give-aways are always hard to find.
The collections included in this pack are: #17 Decades: The '80s and #20 Hall of Famers, both from 1995.

The
firefighters/public workers set was for sale on eBay and the seller had
many of them (I bought three), so I guess there are already many out
there in the hands of MM collectors.
The collections included are: #32 Road Construction and
#33 Fire Rescue, both from 1995.
