What's a 1957 Ford GMC Pick up?

 

[dragonhead00]

Lol. My guess is '57 GMC...at least I hope so. I think I would enjoy seeing both, though.

Ha ha ha. Sorry boys for some reason I was thinking about a '57 Ford. I wasn't drunk.... just very tired.

Perhaps a friendly moderator could edit the poll options.

That's cause the Jungle Crawler is part of the 2009 series.

Can't wait to get my hands on one (or 20) though. :thumbsup:

 

[The General]

The poor old generic Road Roller has gotten no votes. It may end up an awesome model. :tongue:

 

[tamiyatim]

Is the jungle crawler out yet?? how bout that toyota rock crawler thing??

 

[jtels2593]

I'm looking forward to the 1980's Toyota 4 Runner. Matchbox is coming out with some nice casting that most diecast manufacturers would not introduce.

Exactly. I can't picture Hot Wheels doing a 4Runner.

 

[reignman604]

Can anyone confirm if the Rolls Royce Phantom was dropped from the line??

 

[craftymore]

Yup, it was replaced by the new Caddy CTS wagon after apparently a license deal fell through with Rolls Royce.

In response to the poll set up here, I'm looking forward to the Holden Ute, Fisker, F150 Raptor, and the Volvo P1800 the most.

That bit of news has ruined my day. I hadn't looked forward to a matchbox release this much since... well... ever.

Fingers crossed that maybe Minichamps releases a Phantom variant in their next wave for 1/64 scale cars then.

edit: ANY chance that deal gets redone? Cuz come to think of it, they would have had to have put in a fair bit of money into a new mold for the car? All that money goes down the drain?

SIGH.

 

[JasonZ]

I am a Porsche kind of guy.

 

[dragonhead00]

That 914 will be an interesting piece. They bring me way back.

 

[drummingbulldog]

Porsche 914 please... anyone have pics? Please email me or pm if so.

 

[Jeep'rs]

The 1940's Willy's Jeep gets my vote, of course!

 

[Jeep'rs]

Just as an update, I got lucky and brought 4 of the new Jeeps home today. So I am feeling good today!
