It's the same two old pick-up kits as a set.. not a bad idea if the price is right.

Do the tires on the older Hilux look larger than the ones on the original kit?

A good marketing move. The Hilux tires do look much bigger, and better. I like the look of the bigger, off-road tires. Hopefully Meng will release them as a separate set as well.

Like I commented on their FB page.. they should have added the Ford F350 and called it the Triple Whammy Set

I wonder if the weapon sprues are omitted? Don't see them pictured or mentioned.

They have already released the weapons as a combination set with the 4 barrelled gun also in it.
