Whatever happened to Motormax's plans to produce the GLH in 1:24 scale? (See photo of prototype below).

Man, I was on such a high after seeing the "My Garage" diorama with the Plymouth Horizon in there, ready to get out my customizing tools and make me a GLH Turbo. Now I see this thread, and mixed emotions now. I hope they didn't cancel it, I would surely buy multiples (see my screen name). I will be watching this thread closely.

Can I ask where you got this picture and info from? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Motormax stuff at all.

Here is my 1985 GLH Turbo:

I e-mailed RBI Toys Inc. and got a reply within an hour! That's amazing considering it is 10pm EST as I type this.

Here is the reply that I received regarding the 1/24th scale 1985 GLH Turbo model:

***Begin***

It has been delayed, but is still being developed.
My estimate is this summer around July at retail.

***End***

Man, now it makes the wait until summer all that much harder.

Thats good that it will still be released, I hope they release it in all the GLH turbo colours. Having owned a Red one as well as a rare Gold Dust one I am really excited for this casting. Good thing I got a new desk at work, so I can put more diescasts on it!
