Howdy, I was just wondering why the foose cars are no more popular than they are. I found one of the chrome grandmasters and i was excited, Till i looked them up on ebay, No bids on any of them. They are some cool cars, Can anyone explain it too me? Thanks

I just don't think they're that cool. Too many other diecast out there that are very similar. They are jamming the pegs at the stores. If anyone wants one, they don't need to get them on the bay.

They're just too big for most 1/64 car collectors. Also, the vehicles aren't accurate if you're a person who values that in a diecast car; that's why JL cars are so popular.

Our WM recently cleared them out for $2 each. I only bought one.

I bought a few of the Foose cars when they first came out. I was quite disappointed in them because of thier quality. They just feel cheap. The build quality just isn't up to the cost of the car. I'm a fan of Foose and have been for some time. I'm not sure why he would put his name on cars of such poor build quality. I thought I read somewhere that he had a big role in the development and quality control of this line of cars.

They match on well to Jada BTM in size and detail. Problem is the price difference between the two and as mentioned the market they are trying to fit in just seems glutted. I can't say I find anything bad about their quality. They are not the same as regular JL product line and have made no claims to be.

the size for most people is a problem, 1/55 scale. I like them personally, and have quite a few of them, including 7 of the boxed sets. They don't stay on the pegs very long around here, except for the silver grandmaster and silver impression. Those aren't selling. It's a shame, because these are really nice cars IMO, and priced fair at $4, but I think they're going to discontinue the line. They never even made #7 - plymouth roadrunner of the overhaulin series, so it's not even possible to complete the set since only 11 of the 12 cars got produced. They had announced and shown pics of the new blazers, two or three for the JLFT Rock Rigs, and one for the Foose line, then a few weeks later said they were cancelled due to lack of sales. A shame cause they looked really awesome.

If you like these cars and want more in this scale, there's the rock rigs, and also the JoyRide fast & furious tokyo drift are the same scale and quality. In fact, the mustang, viper, and monte carlo in th F&F tokyo cars are the same exact castings as in the Foose line. I think there are also some racing champions made in this scale, as I have a '63 corvette (it came with an ignition key) that seems to be the 1/55 size from RC. Also, some of the JADA, as mentioned above, especially the BTM, seem to be right around the same scale and would look decent next to the foose cars. Also there are some smaller cars in the Matchbox line, like Lotus' and some VW's for example, tha if you look on the bottom will say 1/56, so theyre not far off and can probably get away with displaying with the foose cars.
