That's how I got most of my collection, tokens from Kelloggs Corn
Flakes. They were called combi sets, we got all the space ones but
never got enough tokens for the ship series (if they were available)

There's not much of a variety of those around, there's a white
refrigerated truck, a low loader and a long thin red truck with Super
Transport on the side.
> No idea of the set numbers or names of any of them.
Were they Hasbro TENTE or international TENTE?
