Well they (RC2) have hopefully shipped the initial wave of them, because they are now out of stock in the warehouse.

I think it's safe to say that most of us are waiting on that Judge. I know I am too.

I can't wait for these to arrive at my front door. That Judge might be the best one to date. Also that 65 ain't to shabby.

On a side note. Let's hope someone from JL/RC2. Was doing some research over the weekend. Even better let's hope they sent somebody to Scottsdale. The next release of Auction Insanity could be even better. Enclude a Drag car, BWF, Spoiler(like those 05 factory mustangs), Black Bandit type car(black on black on black). Give the next release some flare. A lot of FLARE.

I think this will be a popular set. The carousel red GTO Judge is "the" color for that car, and this will probably be the only time JL does it. I can't see them doing the Buick GN anymore either after this and the musclecar release , even though it is a new casting. How could you justify re-releasing the same color combo more than once? Not to mention the sweet looking 4-4-2, orange Super Bee, Mach 1, Superbird, GTO.. bottom line, I think this is gonna be the set to have for musclecar enthusiasts (yes, I know I'm referring to the GN as a musclecar, FWIW)

I really hope JL/RC2 will do a concept car series. It's a popular subject around here. Has been for awhile. Also bring back the Motorama series. I would like to see that 50 Bus, but that will NEVER happen. NEVER. Oh Well.

With how popular that car is, and the money it fetches. Can you say BWF, Spoiler, 13 Customs, Coke, Clue, Monopoly, etc....................

Early GNs were silver and black. T-type, Type Ts, Regal Turbos and other models were available in other colors from the Buick palatte. What about race cars like the teal Tweaked? And I might be making this up but I thought these paced races--either NASCAR or open-wheel--in the 80s.

Plus that roof has a lot of space for a big fat Coca Cola tampo! Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaa...

the GN can be done in the same aspect the H/O was done... 83 or 84 are same car, just a color flop, they can actual do an 81-82 and 85-86 442 also with the same casting, just different colors (people can overlook the interior part with the lightning rod shifters (well, the big glob of plastic that represents them atleast)).

In the GN's aspect, as mentioned the T-Types were made all years, GN was basicly a graphic's package and a little suspension upgrade added onto the T-Type. just like the 442, t-types came in a wide varity of colors... + the tampo option is endless!

I agree, but the all black GN will definately be the most popular IMO, and that can only be the '85-87 GN or '87 GNX. I think JL has lots of good material in the T-Types and race cars for future cars, I was only talking about the '86-87 GN really

And I would buy them all! If I could find them that is.
