Well, new castings would have been great, but I'm more than happy with the new color variations!!

Scored the following today at a Walmart in Baraboo, WI:

AMC Pacer in Black and Red
AMC Gremlin in White and Blue w/ white stripe (very excellent looking!)
Ford Pinto in brown
Ford Maverick in Green w/ black stripes

Thought I'd share. No camera with me to take pics...sry

If anyone buys these, please post pics!

I have not seen these as of yet. I did find the greenish Pacer and Gremlin, Yellow and Orange Pacer, and the red Gremlin but, have not been able to find the Blue Gremlin. Hopefully, our local Wal-Marts will get these in soon.

The blue gremlin is a "Gremlin X". I just realized it. I just got back home last night, once I get everything back in order here I'll post pics

Haven't seen any of these new colors yet. Wal Marts around my area still have loads of the first ones.

heres the gremlin X....by far the best yet IMO

That Gremlin looks good, gotta grab that one. Like to see pics of the Maverick with stripes.
Anybody else notice how the glass never fits into these cars rite and they all look like they have falling headliners?

The gremlin x is pretty sweet,if only they'd use different wheels on it..

Does anyone have a picture of the brown Pinto?

Here are the long awaited pics, sorry it took me so long. Enjoy

I'll have to look for some of those,especially the black pinto.

Thanks for the photos! I'll be on the lookout for most of these, especially the Pinto and Gremlin X.

You know, RC2 has taken plenty of heat here for less than this, so I feel it's only fair to say this to Motor Max:

We're tired of the same five castings.

We're tired of playing around with color changes.

We're tired of waiting so freakin' long for something - anything! - new from you.

Do something fresh, interesting, and different would you, and don't take so long getting them out to us.

I havent seen any new 1/64 cars , but I saw the 1/24 Pintos in new colors . Red & yellow ...

I second that rant!!

I think Motor Max is just set up different than the standard JL's. I see the Fresh CHerries as being those 5 castings. They also have the American Graffiti cars in 1:64, 1:24 and 1:18, they have the R/c lines, they also make all kinds of larger scale stuff not necesrrily in a 'series' like Fresh CHerries. This is just how I see what they are doing, perhaps Im wrong, I dont know. I would love more castings in the FC line as much as anyone, but maybe they only intended Fresh Cherries to be a series for a little while. Is someone from Motor Max reading that can clear this up?

The Fresh Cherries line is definitely in the prime position for some 'freshening up". Some new packaging designs would be a good start. Then clean-up the casting and start with some new graphics. I personally like the 1/64 pieces. Nice obscure cars, very good quality and a tremendous value! I hope Target Stores will start stocking them since I don’t have a WalMart close to me. That Blue Gremlin X and the striped Mavericks are a great start.

Now Matt...that is just AWESOME and exactly what I was referring to! So...obviously that particular casting is of quality...but with a little tweaking of the wheels and paint ... BINGO!

They need first to do the Pacer, Maverick, and Mustang II in 1/24. Then, they need to design some modular tools to yield the highest number of subjects with the lowest expense. Some examples would be:

"Mopar I" : '75-'77 Cordoba & Charger, '78-'79 Magnum, '79 Cordoba 300

"MoparII" : '76-'80 Volare, Aspen, LeBaron, Diplomat

"Ford I" : '75-'79 Granada,Monarch, Versailles

"Ford II" : '77-79 LTD II, Cougar, Thunderbird

"GM I " : '75-'79 Nova, Ventura, Phoenix, Omega, Skylark

"GM II" : '75-'80 Monza, Sunbird, Starfire, Skyhawk

All subjects in 1/64 and 1/24

Wasn't there someone from Motor Max who was posting here when this board first started?

I'm hearing some cool rumors...that a huge announcement is going to made very soon regarding Motor Max and the direction of some it's cool product line. Looks like the coolness of Fresh Cherries may be getting cooler....

My WM never did get in those Pacers and Gremlims

Can you at least give us a time frame as to when this news is going to air?

I heard the Vega, Chevette, and Fiero, 3 GM Fresh Cherries is coming to the Wal-Marts in the next few weeks. And this was confirmed from someone I know who works inside. Be on the look out for these.

Awesome news!

I agree. And obscurity is good! Bring them on.

Do you know if the Vega will be the first generation bodystyle or second generation bodystyle?

I hope that's true.

I would gladly add American crap cars to my domestic automobile timeline.:thumbsup:

Still havent found any of the new colors , except brown Pinto .

They're all over this area..... you need me to get you some?

I heard the year was 74 or 76, so probably 2nd gen?

Thanks! Since JL did the first generation, I was hoping the Fresh Cherries would be the 2nd generation.

I think the Fresh Cherries concept is a sweet set of cars.

Can anyone tell me how many different colors there are for the Gremlin/Gremlin X
Thanks
