Indeed, the 1/43 TnT series was introduced in the 1973 amt catalog, in seperate truck & trailers boxes (note the angle of the 1/43 359 box art is heavily inspired by the 1/25th 359 box art version), as mention combo sets came a bit later (mimicking the 1/25 BIG RIGS series), remember getting most of them in the late 70s as birthday or X-mas gifts, also remember that local K-marts got tons of them in their toy dept, no wonder the K-Mart set was available. FYI: French was for the Canadian market (Since English & French are both official languages in Canada). Last time I saw/bought these was in french Heller Boxing, back in 2009, but NO chrome parts??? & different decals. Round2 will probably get them back in Coke or Sprite liveries😉
