Is it just me or do the approximately 1/60'ish scale Dubs look like they are getting larger? I was at a K-Mart yesterday and picked up the red and black GT and Mercedes SL (the red GT is a beauty). The GT was the same as the first releases so size was the same. The Mercedes though looks huge. I then spotted the circa 50's Ford F-100 and it looked even bigger. These cars to me are starting to look bigger than the BTM cars. Looking back at some of my older Dubs, the GT-R looks kind of big but my T-Birds look more "normal" size.
The Ford truck looked cool but I was kind of turned off by its size. I might go back and get it anyway but wanted to think about it for a while.

i didnt notice much because whatever i buy, it always put away but this morning i actually compared the yellow H2 with black rims and the size is quite close to 1:64 (1:63ish) i then grabbed the yellow taxi 300c and it looks huge (1:61 - 1:60) wow .... you're right .... this cars are getting even bigger ... seems like eventually all 1:64 will end up being 1:24 , all 1:24 will end at 1:18 and so on ... :D:lol:

Jada's do have a problem sitting in my carrying cases (loose) because of their size. Does anybody know of anything better to put them in where they doen't have to be at an angle? :confused:

I have the same problem with about 30 or so Daytonas and Superbirds that won't fit in my acrylic cases because of their length. I will probably have to buy some cases that don't have dividers on the rows.
