Have Ignition got any plans to produce anything other than Hype Rabbit?

I'd love to see some of their other range brought down to 1/64 scale.
I'd be surprised if they didn't. My regret about stopping collecting was leaving before this happened. Their larger scale diecasts looks amazing in online pics.

Yep. I would think they will go through their entire 1/43 catalog. Some really good stuff that I’ve been very tempted to buy.

Yeah, their larger stuff is great, but too much money for something that ultimately sits on a shelf gathering dust. I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of their 1/43 cars on eBay for at least half what they normally go for. The attention to detail is stunning even at that scale.

I'm hoping they put out some decent Skylines with subtle mods, I like the look of some of their upcoming 1/18 BCNR33's and would love them in a more affordable scale.
 

A couple weeksago I picked up the red Camaro. It might be the best car Greenlight has released in its entire freaking life as a company. It's just about perfect.

Then, of course, it being a Greenlight, IT HAD NO FREAKING SEAT. And of course I did not notice until I had opened it.

So a few days ago I found it again and to my wallet's pain, picked it up again.

I'll be screwing around with the other one. Maybe add white Minilites and delete the super-random Gulf sticker. And adding a seat, of course.

I hate that mine has screwed up tires, Greenlight be Greenlight i guess.
 
No Snake or Mongoose ones.
While I was in Colorado I stopped at the only Target in town and there were a bunch of these on a peg, but only that 962 and the Greddy ones. Went back a couple days later and the same cars were there, except a single Mongoose showed up. Really weird, but no complaints from me. :D

Edit: Well these are cool. Probably won't be cheap for those of us outside Australia.

 
I was worried I'd be stuck with the more expensive 1/43 scale models to get a Suzuki Jimny model. Glad Tomica's making one! Diablo and Celica would be nice Premiums to have.
 
Currently on the hunt for all the Hot Wheels 1/64 GT3-style racing cars:

I'll put a strike-through of all the cars I've got off my list thus far.
  • Aston Martin Vantage GT3
  • Audi R8 LMS
  • BMW M3 GT2
  • BMW Z4 M
  • Cadillac ATS-V.R
  • Chevrolet Corvette C7.R
  • Ford GT LM
  • Ford GT Race 2016
  • Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo
  • Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2016
  • Renaultsport RS-01
  • SRT Viper GTS-R
Yeah, got a bit of work to do.

Looks like a list from Assetto Corsa or GT rather than reality, but if I'm missing any, including any good fictional molds that would fit this list, please let me know. I also would like to know a good reliable way of finding the Ford GT preferably in Gran Turismo guise, thanks.
 
I know this one I'll never sell:

Good! If you ever do sell it, I'm buying @Cano a ticket to Japanese Oregon so he can slap you for me.

Never could find one of those for myself. Looking at their prices now, think the opportunity has passed...
