Saw a display of HW's at Wally's that had a Halloween motif. Pretty cool cardboard display and the blister art was far superior to the casting choices. I remember when they first started doing this and they seemed very hard to find. I got into it but the casting choices this year were so bad I had to pass. So, I like the concept but the casting has to be cool. Question is............

1. Do you like the Holiday specials done by the various companies?

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?

5. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?

Target Halloween Munster cars and Ecto were cool. I miss that old school card art from Lights Out Liberty, Bone Shaker etc.

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?

I guess I have in the past. That Bone Shaker casting was a pile of dog doo.

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?

They are played out at this point

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?

yep

5. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?

Who can say for sure?

Good Morning

Good morning Rob. Please have a cup of coffee and come back and repost. Please try to make your answers less specific. :freak::)

1. Do you like the Holiday specials done by the various companies? I actually loved the first HWC Halloween Dairy Delivery and the Christmas Rear Loading Beach Bombs. I thought the early PM stuff especially the card are was pretty cool too. Love the JL Holiday cars and I could warm up to the low end HW's stuff if they would get away from Donk pumpkins and tanks with a witch on it.

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice? No way.

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived? Actaully I enjoy a well done Holiday themed casting.

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like? Yes.

5. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?
Sure would but like Mike said, Coke style Bears, happy Gingerbread men etc drives me nuts.

Christmas ornaments and old PM art cards are cool

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?
pretty much

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?
no,Kandy krome is good and scary theme cars are also part of my collection

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?
After 3 holiday Tuckers and 67 holiday V-Wees,I'm becoming that way.
. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?
Most definitely

1. Do you like the Holiday specials done by the various companies?
- I get the JL Holiday Classics

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?
- Only if buying them in sets, else I pick my castings.

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?
- I avoid any with big gross graphics. The JL Christmas Classics I like because they're tastfully done.

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?
- I buys what I likes...

5. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?
- It depends on the casting and how they do it. Again overly done, graphics like tatoos on beautiful woman can be a 'turn-off'.

1. Do you like the Holiday specials done by the various companies?

At times yes, but only the Christmas one's do it for me. But like everything else, other companies are starting to mass produce holiday themes and it's starting to be overkill.

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?

Only the JL one's does, HW only if the casting is right.

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?

Eh.

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?

Bingo.

5. IF GL did a Holiday car, would you be interested?

Depends on the casting, and colors used.

1. Do you like the Holiday specials done by the various companies?
I think the JL's are ok. I did not like the HW's xmas cars last year.

2. Do you pretty much buy them regardless of the casting choice?
no

3. Do you stay away because you feel they are too contrived?
not really, just don't want a lot multiple castings of same car

4. Do you treat this like anything else, I buy what I like?
yes
