I had to take my dear old mom to her eye doctor appointment this morning and when she was done I stopped at TRU. I found a 1:24 RS/SS 69 Camaro Convertible GM. First time I've seen the big scale stuff in my area. It's a great looking casting with a nicely detailed interior and exterior. It's hard to believe there are only 30 of these in the whole wide world. What's harder to believe is that I found it.

Nice find. However, there is a problem with the supposed 30 of them made. Here is one listed on eBay which has #33 on the base:

The auction I was refering to, the guy did add that someone told him they are 1 of 40. I guess Greenlight Garage goofed on this one.

Nice find. Still keeping my fingers crossed that the 1:24 cars will show up here in Houston.

I think the 1/24 Camaro's that are hitting TRU are different then the cars that hit Meijer's. It looks like they are black and orange. Meijer's had 3 or 4 colors of the Camaro. So I wouldn't be surprised if the run has a higher number. I'm sure there is more greens than 30. Maybe Greenlight will answer on the amount in the TRU run.

The 1/24 Camaros at TRU are 1 of 40. Got that info from UTH. Still a LOW number by any standards!

Rattlehed is correct, these newer ones are 1:40 for the GM's. The first TRU GM vettes were 1:30.
