As far as the dollar cars go, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Dollar General get a few unique exclusive repaints/versions in their cases of 72, resellers completely swipe them usually, also consider Matchbox and Auto World (vs hw premium), they have really comparable cars too, I've becoming more of a Matchbox fan because they make more everyday style cars or odd historic cars with good details
i would recommend to just get what you like because it's easy to get too invested in this stuff when a new mix drops evety month or so
