These, I just picked up a week ago. This one is a chase car. 1 of 2500. I do like the Challenger alot, so I just had to get this in 1/18th scale. I liked the colors of this one, so I picked it up. I picked up abit more over the weekend, but didn't get any photos yet. Enjoy, George

Nice Finds! I like the Challenger too! Dodge should have made that car years ago. They would be in better shape if they did. Have you found the JL white 68 Firebird. It looks good in the pictures. I just have not found it.

I like the Callengers alot too. Maybe some day I'll buy one, since GM killed off the Firebird. Yes, I did pick up the white Firebird with the blue stripe across it. I haven't found the White Lightnings for them yet, just on ebay, and the prices are kinda high right now. I'm sure I'll be getting them. I only found the one so far in that color. I did get two of the black one, and only one red/orange one so far. Yesterday, I got a box in the mail with 6 more 1/64th scale Greenlight 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Ams, to add to my 30 of them already. Ya, I'm a sucker for anything 20th TTA related. I have so many photos to take. George

Ya, I probably wouldn't have gotten it, but with cheap prices, and free shipping, I was all over it! ;D Might use it for trade or something. You never know. George

Cool finds George! I have not spent any money on diecast here lately and its killing me. I try not to go to Walmart that much. I did get a few cars at my last meeting. I try to post some them up when I can. I have been keeping my nose close to the grindstone lately.

I know the feeling Paul, I have SEMA next week, and there are so many places to look for diecast out there in Las Vegas, so I'm saving up some money. I've been selling some stuff on some other websites, so I have some money. George

I went into my local Wal Mart yesterday, And found a good collection of Johnny Lightning cars. But Wal Mart raised the price to $3.00 each! I was going to pick up some of the Vipers that have been there for awhile, but I just walked away, after seeing the price increase. And during the Chistmas season too! George

Yes, I know! I have left them too! It's all the talk about it on the diecast message boards. I alot of people are going to do the same thing. Walmart really shot themselves in the foot this time. M2 are $6.00 and Jada is $4.00. I normally buy cars that I think is cool even though they are not Firebirds. It looks like I have to be even more selective than before. Diecast car market is not the most stable market to be in. Walmart raising their prices is going to hurt those companies. I wonder the diecast companies will put pressure on Walmart about going back down on the prices. I heard M2 is already trying to. I hope something is done.

I have been off the diecast boards for awhile. I need to get back on them. So many sites, so little time. Heck, I wish M2 would do some Firebirds. When I was at SEMA, I met the owner, and he said that there are no plans to do any. He said maybe in the future, but the far future. I very rarely get a M2 car anymore. George
