That '71 Challenger look kinda cool.

If the green is a bright lime, then that is a really cool recolor to have.
 
I don't do the mail ins, I just bought the bre 510 and gulf gt40 at a toy show when I saw them.
If you collect the mainline hot wheels, it's almost a freebie for you? You'll need to mail in 20 cards, but I think you just pay the shipping. Mail-in Blown Delivery would be worth at least $20!

If K-Day had those K-Day exclusive 510 wagons + mail-in Blown Delivery on same event, that would've been incentive enough for me. Oh well.

Yeah, but only if you're lucky to find 20 you need in one visit?
 
Finally opened the cars I got from Jason......

My fav's the Ramcharger though. Not my first, but how awesome is this casting:

Do you have to get them in one visit?(I don't remember)

I did get 20 one year. I think it was the K-Day that had '59 Cadillac Funny Car as the mail-in? They had lot of great cars that K-Day, so 20 cars wasn't much of problem.
 
Ooh, that Yenko Chevelle! I mean yes, the Ramcharger is a great casting which allows its owner to remove the roof and turn it into my Smokey & The Bandit Bronco (although that one is working against the Police, not with them, haha), but you have to love that wonderful stance and graphics. You just have to! Or maybe that's my inner Bow Tie self speaking, but nevertheless, Greenlight makes some great classic Americana car castings.

Having friends in high prices can really come in handy, right @a6m5? :sly: :lol:

That roof is so amazing. I think I have five of Ramcharger castings(1 of them is identical, maybe Plymouth name), four of them loose, but the roof attach/detach just perfectly. Not sure how they fit so perfect, but they do. I do like Greenlight Chevelle. I just wish the front treatment was little better. I have few of these also & front's the only thing that prevents it from becoming one of my favorites:

Painted headlights are hit & miss with me.

Hmm, you are right, that front end could look a bit better. For me, the most concerning thing is that Bow Tie logo area, it seems bloated somewhat... Either way, bar those things, everything else looks great, from paint to rims. The tire logos are wonderfully detailed for a 1/64 car, I have to say. As for the Ramcharger, GL must've done a tremendous job for you to buy all five castings. I guess that is the perfect example of how great a Greenlight car can look when done right, huh?

I honestly don't have a clue, but it sure is a method to get buyers to clear up the vendor's inventory if it was.

I like your red truck BTW. Andy likes red trucks.

This. I can't believe how perfectly it fits.

Looking at that group shot, I wasn't even aware that the roof detached. Wowie. :drool:

Actually, the paint job on the wheels are EVERYWHERE. :crazy: And yes, I do like their Ramcharger. From my collection, they are all great with the exception of their new All-Terrain version. :D

Lot of red on that truck. :D

I opened their Hitch & Tow Ford Explorer with the boat today? Boat has two covers, and they also attach oh so perfectly. :embarrassed:

It's pretty slick. You need a Ramcharger Jarrod. :D

That is one of the most satisfying things I've even seen on a diecast model.
 
I just love how all the five blisters in each row join together to make one single "'Murican Eagle Stars & Stripes" design, as if that set of cars couldn't be 'Murican enough...
Also, Ford and Chevy are represented, but not Dodge? Now that is what I call "brand burying". :lol:

There's a Dodge van up top, and the 'Rodger Dodger' counts right? :P

But I agree they could have replaced some of the fantasy cars with licensed models.

Ah, ok, the blister beneath the Dodge van hid its name so I couldn't tell that it was an actual Dodge. I guess you could say that the blister... buried the "Dodge" in the "Dodge Van". And I'll let that Rodger shtick count, because I'm a nice guy... :P

Yes, it's not as if Mattel lacks American car castings on its lineup; what about a Ford Country Squire for example? Is there anything more 'Murican-looking than a woodie decked in the colors of the American flag?
 
Best spot for a photobomb of mediocre quality control, bottom of the page. :D

Opened the card and was about to put it away when I realised they had left the insides out.
Maybe prepping it for racing, losing some of that body weight.

Wait . . . in HWs case that's not a good thing, losing weight.
