How and where does one find these greenlight cars? I would like to get a 1/64 camaro if one is available. Please know that I am from canada and probably don't have access to most or all of the stores that carry them.

You could buy one from on-line dealers or work out a deal with one of us from the states. Which specific cars you looking for?

I like 60's camaros and 1968 to 1970 mustangs. Am I to understand that the green cars are the chase cars for this brand? Thing is that when we have to deal with a dealer to make it worth while you order up a few things then duty tax and a little thing we have here called gst tax, the bill rises and rises.

car price + shipping + duty + gst = HIGH PRICE!

So, if we can buy from other collectors it works out to be much cheaper.

The Green Machines are the chase cars. They are green and say Green machine on the package. Milizone's flames Green Lightning Green Machines have green rims instead of a green body.
There have been no 60's Camaros released yet.
Sent you a PM.

These Green Machines are bringing pretty high dollars on ebay . I doubt you will find one in a store , I havent ! I have only seen them at some KMarts & once at Toys R Us . Mustangs seem to be the most in demand ..

I only want the 'normal' GL cars, especially the Olds, new Camaro and'67 Coronet!

I'm also from Canada.

The GreenLight MCG (Muscle Car Garage) Mustangs are pretty much all I've been trying to acquire for the past several weeks (yes, I'm a Mustang fan) -- particularly the Green Machine chase cars. I've had limited luck in trading for the GMs with the help of a few generous fellow collectors in the U.S. (one here on HT and the others through HWC). Generally, though, it takes a lot of very good pieces to offer in trade to get the chase cars (of course, everyone likes something different and has his own view of what things are "worth"), or a lot of cash through auction sites like e Pay where everything seems to command top dollar. Great if you're a seller, but not so great if you're a collector -- unless, of course, you have deep pockets!

To avoid costly shipping/taxes/duty fees, the best thing to do to acquire the GL pieces is to post your specific wants here on HT or through another hobby board. There are some very helpful people here, and one of them is bound to come to the rescue to a Canadian collector!

Good luck!
