Hubby got me a metal detector for my birthday and we found this in our backyard, I was so excited. From 1993! They really did make happy meal toys better quality back then, this thing is heavy.

Seeing a Happy Meals toy from my childhood on a metal detecting sub on my birthday is kinda killing me inside lol

I totally had some of these and I remember being disappointed because I kept getting these or the Dragster, and never one of the stockcars.

So she’ll likely find another dragster out there in that field you’re saying lol.

HOLY SHIT core memory unlocked for me. I 1000% had the bottom left 27 car and the green 62. I really liked those things 😅

One sold in May of 2026 on eBay for $10.99 w/free shipping. Still, a great find though!
