Has anyone seen them? I bought a set at Autofest last year, but I've never seen them in stores. Not even on ebaay. They are the same cars as the Fresh Cherries in the clear boxes, except they're on small blistercards.

Haven't seen those yet....there's a ton of the clear box models out though, maybe they're holding up the release of carded version.

I saw a store that did not previously have these, get two cases of the 1/87 cars in. Oddly, although they were new and only one car was sold of the two cases, there were no Mustangs or Hornets present. Just the Tempo, Escort, Pinto wagon, Bobcat, Gremlin, and Pacer. And they're the boxed cars, I have yet to see them carded anywhere -

Same store had a couple of Reel Rides for a buck each, so I grabbed them. Funny too because there's a new series of those slowly coming out. Given the one GM they did there may be hope for 1/87 Vegas, Novas, Malibus or Monte Carlos, or some variation of any of them.

Like the new packaging. Hopefully they will arrive soon in my area. I'm still looking for 2 each of the mustangs. Our local walmart has had the same 5 cars sittingon the self since thanksgiving and nothing new has arrived yet. :(

I wish Motormax would stick with the Fresh Cherries name with the original packaging. What's the point to have the same vehicles under 2 different names and 2 different types of packaging? Focus on the vehicles and the tooling and please stick with the plastic box. Now, can we please have the Accord and Maverick in the stores soon? And, if the '82 Accord sells well how about a 2002 Accord? If the 1975 Civic sells well how about a 1995 Civic?

One of the highlights of 2007 for me was the Fresh Cherries brand in HO scale. Please continue with more products under the Fresh Cherries label!
