Found one at Walmart just the other day. First one I have seen in a long time. There are several variants of it in different color schemes and department names.
Pierce Quantum aerial in lime green Bernalillo County FD Truck 8
Pierce Quantum aerial white with red stripe for Metropolitan City Truck 58
Pierce Quantum aerial red with white stripe for San Diego Fire Rescue Truck 47
Pierce Velocity tower white over red for City of Willard Tower 1
Pierce Velocity tower black over red for B. Comthax County Tower 07
Pierce Velocity tower red with white stripe for San Diego Fire Rescue Tower 11

The Pierce Tower was also done for:
Wilton CT around 2011
Last year the tower was released marked for
Roanoke VA
Jensen NY

Their is also an E-One Command Center that was done for Hillsboro County around 2011 or so as well as two versions of a Colet Jaguar ARFF unit.

Also MBX did a special set of four RWR fire rigs a few years ago as a mail in deal. They where in matching colors but a special MBX FD graphics.

This is the newest release. Seeing them has been hit and miss.

They have done other San Diego units. There was the Pierce Dash and Toyota Tacoma Beach Rescue. For some reason I am thinking there was one more.

I have no idea if this is a new release, I thought they had done an Engine for San Diego. If it's new, watch the store shelves, this was like the TP aisle only had the one. Thinking of you today Troy say hi to Chris...
