View Full Version : Maisto Need for Speed Undercover
BIGLOU75 03-25-2009, 02:39 AM Anybody have any info on wave 2 of this 1/64 scale series as to when or if the are being released? Maisto's Daily Dose/blog is pretty cool but their website's not very good on giving product info or release info.
I know this wave is suppose to have a Lambo police car, Nissan GT-R, and, the one I really want, Porsche 911.
dragonhead00 03-25-2009, 09:22 AM With their first release being clearanced by whoever was willing to carry them, are you sure there is going to be a second wave. I bought 4 of them (for a buck each, thank God) and opened a couple. I can't say I was at all impressed. I like Maisto, but these looked rushed, not to mention the shake, rattle, and barely roll. These pics may not show it, but the quality is sub-par for a three dollar diecast car. If there is a second release, I'm hoping for a significant improvement.

BIGLOU75 03-25-2009, 03:23 PM Well, according to their website blog, I'm assuming there was suppose to be a 2nd wave. They've mentioned and showed pics. Here are the links:

I was ok on the game. I usually did the drifting challege or time trials or whatever. It was a few years back on the original release.
JasonZ 03-25-2009, 05:07 PM I like the Porsche and the new GT-R.

I had my chance to pick them up at a Super Walmart a while back, but didn't get them. Now I regret it. You could find the whole wave at collectablediecast.com, and I've seen them on eBay.
Dock, good looking out! I'm just looking for the GTO and Charger and all of wave 2.
Horseplay 03-26-2009, 01:25 AM I bought the Whole Wave 1 Set are Wal-Mart awhile back, And just seen this.. When will these be released? Im a Porsche Fanatic/Junkie, Its my favorite dream car & Brand.

the lambo police car would not follow undercover the only lambo police cars were in the nfs 3 and hot persuit 2

Maybe they were mistaken and meant the GT-R police car.
BIGLOU75 03-26-2009, 01:58 PM found this blog about these:
http://maisto.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/need-for-speed-undercover/
It says 12 new casts in the next 10 months, and this was posted back in September. So with the 4 that are out now and the 4 from wave 2 that we've been seeing posted, I wonder what else is coming. And they should be coming soon.
Here's Maisto's press release:
