Merchandise Lookout

The picture above was taken at my BPG dealership this past Sunday. They've had these flags out there for atleast a year, if not longer. Does anyone know where these flags can be ordered from? I've tried Pontiac Mall and the similar GMC website with no luck. I'd like to get the Pontiac flag ASAP if possible, as I think current GM-licensed Pontiac collectibles may be hard to come by once the lights are turned off at Pontiac. I will definitely ask my dealership when I take the wife's G6 in for service next time if no one here has any leads for me. I figured I'd ask here first :AH-HA_wink:

First several repaints, and notice they removed the blown engine from the bed of the El Camino, and replaced with a tonneau. The blue Camaro is from the mystery car packs, so good luck with that one.

This is their Pontiac tribute issue..beautiful '61 Catalina 2dr ht on the cover and inside, an article on Pontiac engines through the years, milestone Pontiacs, etc. There is a restoration article on an '83 Riviera T-Type (beautiful car)...

For $4.95 + 2.95 s&h. The photos don't do these justice. Very glossy, very high-quality. I have no idea where these came from, but man...what a deal.

After getting an e-mail from the Franklin Mint about a limited-edition, web-exclusive Mercedes gullwing diecast model, I decided to check out their website to see if any new GM models were available. While disappointed that the offerings have been trimmed, they do have the following for sale: 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Hardtop Coupe (in two colors): 1957 Chevy Bel Air "Fuelie": 1956 Chevy Cameo Pickup: I'm particularly interested in the '56 Cameo, as this is the first time a 1956 model is being offered (Franklin Mint has done the '55 Cameo and Danbury Mint offers the '57 Cameo). Now hopefully DM offers a '58, as they have both the stepside and fleetside…

Found these this week as well.

Got these in the mail today...

At the prestigious Detroit Auto Show on December 21, 2007 Chevrolet officially announced the 2009 Corvette ZR1 - an American supercar that brings the technology and engineering refinement of carbon-fiber, ceramics and electronics together in a distinctive design. The ZR1 is instantly recognizable, with perhaps the most identifiable feature a raised, all-carbon-fiber hood that incorporates a clear, polycarbonate window. The window provides a view of the top of the engine's intercooler, with the legend "LS9 SUPERCHARGED" embossed on the left and right sides, and an engine cover with the Corvette crossed flags logo debossed at the front. Jada Toys, makers of popular diecas…

Came across this and had to pick it up. Its dated 1992 on the package, prior to my re-starting my die cast collecting. The Corvette reminds me of the Bright Aqua Metallic paint on my Cutlass back then.

This is a couple years old. It is an Anson models '98 STS. The hood, trunk and front doors open. The wheels turn also. My interior pic didnt come out, so if I can get a better one I will edit this post to add it.

To the best of my knowledge, Hot Wheels is the only model manufacturer that has all but one Monte Carlo generation depicted in some way, shape or form ... and I now have at least one of each generation! Pics are not the best, though.... 1st Gen (1970)... 2nd gen (1973-5)... 3rd gen (1980)... 4th gen (1987)... Next generation (Intimidator Concept, 1999 ... for 2000+ models)... Group...

Hi guys! My tot (with his love for anything with wheels) has found a car he really, really wants: a Cavalier! We saw another boy with a little yellow cavalier (made by revell) and my son kept telling to give back daddy's car! ( he knows my car is a cav) Now all he wants is one! I've been all over the internet, with no luck yet. I know both Revell and Ertl made them, and they were yellow, and both were part of a tuner series. While I wouldn't mind one, I'm really doing it for my little guy. Since he now points every car that looks like dads, I know he love it! Hopefully somebody may have come across some....

... wireless mouse? http://fourdoormedia.com/Merchant5/merchan...tegory_Code=001 Apparently they're officially licensed. Oh, and they have branded USB keys too.

An update to the earlier post... And one of the cooler re-releases I have seen in a long time...

Not the best picture...

Norev announced the GM Futureliner this week to be introduced in Jan/Feb of 2007. It is a true 1/64 scale model, expected price around Euro 30,- (ex tax). (No pics yet)

I'll try to get some pictures and post them …

More new finds in the Classics and Ultra Hots lines. Some of the pics aren't the best, because they are quick auto-focus.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Death-by-Pontiac-T-Shi...%3A1%7C294%3A50 and picked this one up as well: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pontiac-Power-T-Shirt-...%3A1%7C294%3A50 I know you guys aren't into the whole, heavy metal, flames and skulls thing like I am, but I think it's cool. :AH-HA_wink: I'm trying to build a collection of retro/rat rod style shirts for every GM and domestic division. Every little bit helps when it comes to support IMO.

I know that they made a few things Cavalier... I was told that they made a diecast 03 Cav... And a model for the 2000 Cav..and a sunfire too... A few of us are looking in to getting them... I've been looking around, but nothing so far...

4th color for the ZR1 (after blue, red and yellow) new for '09 casting GSX and new paint on the classic Nomad.... Oh yeah, new cardboard for '09 as well....

Ah, they have arrived!! 2 of these little beauties are now mine.

Here's one that seemed to elude me for a bit....

Here is some of release 3 of Greenlights Muscle Car Garage. I picked up the 442s tonight.

Enjoy...

Never actually tried the online racing part of these, but added two more to the collection. I have an orange Series 1 '10 Camaro. Apparently the chrome is limited edition, since the standard Series 2 Camaro color is black. Got these on clearnace at Meijers, making the price much more reasonable.

Toy collectibles: http://www.breithaupts.com/totc590.htm

If you can afford them (and I wish I could), these handmade 1/43-scale models look incredible. GADM Diecasts GADMs on eBay Releases include Cadillac LaEspada, two of the GM Firebirds, Buick Centurion, and lost Chrysler Norseman.

Some new stuff from this weekend.

I stopped by my local Wal-Mart for some car cleaning supplies and made a detour down the toy aisle before leaving. Here's what I saw today: Blister package Johnny Lightnings ($2.00 each): 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe (missing the hood, has a blower on top of the engine) 1931 Cadillac Cabiolet (new issue #4 in blue, older issue #3 green) 1965 Chevy Impala SS 1981 Chevy Malibu Coupe (two-tone brown over beige) 1950 Chevy Suburban (restoration needed) Hot Wheels Delivery Vehicle Series ($3.97 each): 1959 Chevrolet Panel Delivery/Hurst 1959 Cadillac Funny Car/Rower King of Cars 1956 Chevrolet Nomad Delivery/Milodon

Hey boys, drool over this one, and lament the fellows plight --- and then run down and buy it, before somebody else steals it! Go to:http://impalassforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get topic;f=12;t=003307 :P

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Sure looks like a Fiero to me, says it's a Go-Bot. Prob. about 1/64th scale or slightly larger. Decent shape, really cool in my book, but I'm a toy-geek. :AH-HA_wink:

The Nov issue of HCC came today..has a pair of beautiful '73 Cutlass Supremes on the cover, one blue, one white. Other GM content in the issue incl. a '52 Buick Super 4dr.

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado diecast car or model kit. any scale size but would like a big one. since one day i will own a 1:1 scale :AH-HA_wink: Thanks.

GM is a vehicle supplier for the upcoming (7-4-07) live-action "Transformers" movie, and there are already some shots out of a couple of the car/robot toys. See the links below and click on "NEXT" to the upper-right of the pic: Solstice Some kinda GMC truck thing There's also supposed to be a new concept Camaro, but I couldn't find any pics of that one. I'm quite stoked at being able to combine my love of GM w/ my Transformers geekitude! Enjoy!

OK, here's some recent finds... The Avanti isnt technically GM, but under the skin she is.....

The topic in the lounge about step-side pickups made me think to put these up. Both of these are currently available on the pegs. And the coming soon Hot Wheels answer to the pickup.

Found these this week...

The Fairfield Mint catalog came today. In addition to the standard Tri-5s, Vettes and Pickups, here are some of the more interesting selections. Also noted was the fact that limos and hearses seem to be gaining popularity amongst die-cast collectors.

You guys might have missed these, as I only saw them recently in the cereal aisle. There are 9 cars available, each branded with a General Mills cereal... making these something of a collectors item years from now. I picked up the Cocoa Puffs '57 Buick hardtop station wagon and the Count Chocula '70 Chevelle sedan delivery. There are also... '51 GMC C.O.E. - Honey Nut Cheerios '40 Ford C.O.E. - Cinnamon Toast Crunch '29 Ford Pickup - Boo Berry Hiway Hauler - Lucky Charms Custom '77 Dodge Van - Franken Berry Deco Delivery - Trix '70s Van - Wheaties There is a video someone made that really shows them off pretty good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwCizlnlA…

It's a dodge one, but they had chevys ones were i found em. heres a pic,

I just got both with top up and down its a real nice casting look for it . I would post pics but I dont know how .

New Superfasts from MB and a less than new JL that I just picked up.

For your viewing pleasure the new release of Greenlight Collectibles. This is Muscle Car Garage Rel. 1-B. The first to use Stock and Custom designations. Of the 12 in this release 6 are GM and 6 are Mustangs. The GM are '67 GTO and the two below.

Cool livery... had to get it.

Anyone ever seen a toy or model of Oldsmobile alero

Found at Wal-Mart...

I found this on sale at my local Cracker Barrel restaurant. I didn't buy it, as I have a Simpson's clock similar in style to this already. I could however put it in my office, should I decide to eventually. Thought some here might enjoy adding this to their stable of "GM collectibles". :AH-HA_wink:

Found one more today...

This one was fun to get...

Picked up a new box set with a few GM products in it. Also picked up the '69 442 I have needed to get.

The new issue of Hemmings Classic Car arrived today..amongst the articles are a buyers guide to the '79-85 Eldorado, with a beautiful yellow '79 Biarritz as the feature car, a black on black 1 of none '69 Olds Delta 88 Royale convertible (incredible), plus lots of other interesting non-GMs (50s Mercurys, '65 Falcon 2dr wagon, a 1920 Dodge speedster, etc.

This is out now. It is a repaint of the red first edition from earlier in the year.

I caught a commercial for this Corvette dollar coin (link) a couple nights ago. It actually looks pretty cool.

Just found from release 4 of the Jada BTM series...

http://luxurydiecast.com Offering 1:43 diecast in the following GM vehicles: Escadlade Hybrid, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac CTS-V, Cadillac Converj (check the website for pictures) I found the Presidential Limo (2009 Cadillac DTS-modifed) at Wal-Mart in August for $14.99; seen it at hobby stores and some car show vendors before that for $29.99 and up. I've also seen the Presidential Suburban and CIA Suburban in person, again at $29.99 but didn't bite. They first entered the market with the Limo, then the Suburbans. The rest (CTS-V, Escalade, Converj) are all recent intro's.

Good to see the big bug getting some traction.? Type 4 literature

Won it at a Christmas party last night. Jada Toys has this concept and the new Camaro as part of their "big time muscle" remote control cars. It's a good size remote control car, and brings back lots of memories. Plus, it's fun to chase my dog with it...he's 50 lb collie/chow mix and scared to death of the thing...ha ha

Legendary GM Magazine - Premier Issue (July/August 2008) At the 2008 All-GM Nationals car show on Saturday, June 21, I saw a tent advertising the above magazine. At first I mistook it for GM High Performance magazine; taking another look before walking away, I realized the name was new to me and the cover (shown above) stood out in a postive way. I asked the lady behind the table if this is a brand new magazine and she replied "yes". A quick-flip through of the magazine and I was hooked. I decided to try out a one-year subscription, being offered at a reduced show rate, and got to walk away with the premier issue as an added bonus (everyone that subscribed did, not …

After a month or more of looking for this one, found it Friday.

Dont remember seeing this before. It is from a Chinese company.

Only at Kmart (11/6/10 event)

Three of the new "Hot Ones" from Hot Wheels and a MB 5-pack with a very purple Ute & a white CTS wasgon. There is also a new Chevy 5-pack from Hot Wheels, but I dont have a pic since I didnt pick it up.

Here is a totally awesome Chevrolet, it folds! I hope my Chevrolet fits in my Z06.
