Merchandise Lookout

These are two new models I've never noticed before in my danbury Mint catalog... The Limited Edition 1957 El Camino Phantom -- An all new, totally unique '57 Chevy "car-based" pickup! Link: http://www.danburymint.com/diecast/product...?code=7464-0012 Limited Edition 1957 Chevrolet Stepside Pickup -- Only 5,000 replicas will ever be made!

For those that have ever fell in love with the 1953 GM Futurliner, or have been lucky to see the fully restored-to-original condition one (like Oldsmoboi, Ocnblu and myself at the '06 AACA Fall Meet in Hershey), you will appreciate this new book. And knowing that the purchase of the book helps to maintain the restored 'liner makes it even better. http://www.futurliner.com/items.htm

I couldn't wait; http://diecastfast.com/Merchant2/merchant....&Category_Code=

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:

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!

Some new stuff from this weekend.

Pretty!

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.

Greenlight Anniversary Set Sorry its sideways

Got 5 of these 6, so far.

New Auction Block Cars.... also in sereis a blue w/ white top Buick GS.

I really like this one.

Picked up this years Hallmark ornaments this weekend... The Classic American Cars Series was a T-bird. The All American Trucks Series was a yellow SSR. And... a no series ornament this year is the Corvette Stingray Concept (also known as Sideswipe). There is no Transformers tie-in with this, so this may be the first semi-realistic rendering of this car.

I have not found any scale models of the HHR on the market..... anywhere! Has anybody out there seen any, or are aware of any being made? This is another area where GM marketing has dropped the ball!

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.

I grew up with a Carvel Ice Cream store in my town that we went to a lot.... don't see many around though their ice cream cakes are sold in many grocery stores (Acme, Wegman's, Shop-Rite). Was surprised to see a HW's series in Carvel's name at Wal-Mart last night.

New colors for these 3....

Not the best picture...

Made a stop at the local Wal-Mart last night and made a detour down the toy aisle to see if anything new was on the racks. Not much on the HW's racks, but found this 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix metallic green "stunt car" on the last peg I checked behind a couple of older releases. Enjoy!!

A new casting which makes its first appearance in the Classics line.

Found at Wal-Mart...

I picked one up the other day for my son. It has a '59 Eldorado, '67 Camaro, '67 GTO, C6 Corvette and a stupid gold Hummer H2. Here is the same thing on eBay for $9.50+$5.79s/h. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $4.97. The GTO and 'Vette may be taken away from my son and put in my office. I also got him a Matchbox 5-pack with a classic Mini Cooper that I plan on stealing from him.

Found this one today...

Hot Wheels is celebrating their 40th Anniversary in 2008 and has introduced a new series called "Modern Classics". I've seen these cars only at Wal-Mart so far. Here's the list of cars, as featured on the blister pack: Honda Civic Si Datsun 240Z '70 Nova '70 Ford Torino '92 Ford Mustang '77 Pontiac Firebird '83 Silverado Buick Grand National Custom '07 Ford Mustang '80 El Camino 1970 Plymouth Road Runner '67 Shelby GT-500 '68 Olds 442 Dodge Challenger Concept Camaro Concept I've only seen the Civic, Datsun and Camaro Concept so far, but it seems a few more from the series have shown up on eBay. I'll try to get some pictures and post them …

Here is the latest repaint of the HW Nova.

Picked up a set I dont have tonight...

Just found this one this past weekend; couldn't pass on it! The color is corral (pinkish) over white, although the pics make it look more redish over white. The funny thing is that it's not even listed on the back of teh card with the rest of the cars in the series.

Nice pair...

This one was fun to get...

Picked up this little baby at TARGET this past Saturday while doing some last minute "Easter" gift shopping. Here are the details: Made by Maisto, 1:16 scale radio controlled vehicle, multi-directional (forward, reverse, left & right turning), available in gold (shown above) and two-tone black & bright green, comes with dashboard-styled controller, cost $19.99, requires 1 9-volt & 4 AA batteries to operate. I have not opened it yet, but my 2 year-old son is dying waiting for me to. He can't wait to play with "daddy's new toy truck"!!!

Been waiting for this one...

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

Is this thing on?

Enjoy...

Only at Kmart (11/6/10 event)

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

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.

Does anyone know where i can find a Ford Aerostar diecast? not a hotwheels tho.

Hi all, As far as I can tell, there are 2 companies making 1/18th-scale Solstii: Yat Ming and Road Signature. Does anyone happen to have one o feach and can compare them for me? I've seen the Road Signature one in a store, and it looks nice enough, thru the box, anyway. I'd like a blue one, FWIW. Just wondering if one is better than the other for any reason- accuracy, detail, quality, etc. TIA!

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.

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…

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

Greetings all... JL came out with a full COPO set with Camaros, Novas & a Vega. I got the whole set, but I am just going to post this one. Those who know, know. And, to see who's paying attention, I replaced the Charger today finally...

Yes, you read that right... it amuses me...

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 items from Hot Wheels...

About half for my son, and half are mine. I may take some individual snaps of GM cars to add to this thread.

From the Kmart collectors event last weekend...

These are showing up at Kroger. They are in baggies, not on a standard card.

Here are the latest HW Classics releases.

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 …

In either 1:18 or 1:24 scale. Cobalt SS/SC (preferably yellow) C6 Z06 C5 (preferably blue or special edition) Camaro concept (I doubt it's out yet) 1970 Camaro I'll probably add more, but that's all for now. I don't know much about model cars, but I'm redoing my room, so I'm looking for a few pieces of the puzzle..

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:

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.

Courtesy of http://m2machines.blogspot.com/; 1958 Chevrolet LCF & two different trailer designs (still concept): Can't wait to find these & find out what other trucks will be released by M2 in 2011

Like lots!

Another brand does the IROC. I like it.

M2 Machines Auto-thentics Release 19 Trucks, releasing now (which means I'm on the hunt for these two): 1958 GMC Suburban Carrier and V-8 Engine - Cape Blue and Dover White Top: 1959 Chevrolet Apache Small Window Step Side - Yukon Yellow and White Top: The other trucks in this series include: 1951 Studebaker Truck (Service Utility Body) 1956 Ford F-100 - Light Gray (Stake Body) 1956 Ford F-100 - Springtime Yellow (stepside pickup) 1957 Dodge 700 COE - Sublime Green (COE stepside pickup) Link with pics: http://www.diecastal...elease19-2.aspx

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

As requested....

Maisto has released this Solstice in a 5 pack. They also released the SS Concept and the Cheyenne from a few years ago. No pics of those two yet.

Maisto wasted no time in getting a license for the Hummer Hx! First out a couple of months ago was a 1:18 scale RC car, offered in black & gold and green & black two-tone colors (I've only seen this for sale at Target), now they are offering this combo:

New casting, and an interesting logo choice on the card.

First new one found... CTS Wagon in a gold color.

Coming out sometime before the end of this year...

One from the store locally, one delivered from online purchase.
