Saw these yesterday at Wally's. Not sure if anyone is interested in these but I thought that I'd snap a picture of each with my cell phone.

I'm not sure what other diorama's were in this Reel series, but they were kinda cool. These 2 movies aren't my cup of tea, but if there was a Vanishing Point or Bullitt diorama, I don't think I could leave them behind.

Hi Stutz,

Don't remember seeing a shelf tag with the price on it. They weren't with the "regular" diecast cars, they were on the opposite side of the isle. I'll check to see if they put the price on them or use one of those price scanners next time I'm there.

Glad I took some pictures of these for you guys to enjoy. I saw them and thought that they were neat and immediately thought of HobbyTalk and the (rather quiet lately) MotorMax section.

Hopefully these make it to the states. Some of the Motor Max stuff seems to only be in Canada.

Hopefully, some will make it to the USA.

I'll got to the 'Bay as a last resort.

I believe it is a Signature Model. WM USA used to stock from time to time.

uhhh... theres GIGANTIC 1:43 following and theres tons of realistic cars made in that scale. Do some research.

Done the research & yes there are alot of realistic cars in that scale which is to bad that the resources are wasted on it, i have yet to see many 43rd scale dios & never seen a city diorama with 24th and 18th scale cars. 43rd like 24th and 18th is that ANYONE can make realism in those and they do make tons of accesories for them, do that same stuff in 64th and impress us. What i do know is that big scales (43rd on up) collectors are rare takes big bucks and big rooms to house them.

In return 1/64 is the most popular scale to collect and diorama with, (unless you a train dude and are into the ho scale) for the fact you can collect so many more in alot less space for alot less $$$$$ but yet diecast companies fail to make modern TRUE TO LIFE REALISTIC buildings, shop tools, trailers, campers and countless other acc to go with them. So to see the dios above in 1/43 is depressing since it could have been done in 64th and sold tons more. Yes these will be on clearence soon sad but TRUE!!!!

They have to make it to the US before they can go on clearance.

I also found the white Ford from Grease. They also had a police car from The Usual Suspects. On the back of the packaging, it said to expect cars from Robocop and Old School. These are nice, but yes, I'd like to see them in 1:64 scale as well. Does anyone know how to contact Motor Max? Their website seems to be down. And what's the deal with Reel Rides? Didn't that brand belong to Malibu Int'l? Is Malibu and Motor Max connected? Did Malibu sell the Reel Rides brand? I'm confused.
