GreenLight Collectibles Daytona 500 Pace Cars

Coming to the table with two new licenses, GreenLight is offering its first set of 1:18 Daytona 500 pace cars, the result of a team effort between GreenLight, NASCAR, and the Daytona International Speedway. These detailed pace cars come from two very important years in NASCAR and DAYTONA 500 history; the 1979 Daytona 500 was […]

FIRST LOOK! Kyosho’s 1:64 Racing Ferrari Collection!

1:64 is going to get just a bit hotter this summer thanks to this new lineup of 1:64 Ferrari F1 racers from Kyosho, arriving soon in the form of pre-decorated kits. Each kit contains approximately ten pre-painted and tampo-decorated pieces, and comes with an included screwdriver – everything snaps into place and final-fastens with the […]

Cover Cars : GreenLight’s ‘Zine Machines Series 2

Cover Cars : GreenLight’s ‘Zine Machines Series 2

Just because a car magazine was issued in the 21st century doesn’t mean that the machine on the cover wasn’t a historic, high-octane legend from years past. GreenLight Collectibles’ ‘Zine Machines Series 2 features a plethora of cars from the ’60s and ’70s that your dad and his pals (and probably his little sonny boy) […]
Look Back 1:24: Danbury Mint 1948 Chrysler Town & Country

Look Back 1:24: Danbury Mint 1948 Chrysler Town & Country

In certain cultures, it is believed that wood is capable of absorbing and storing the essence of human contact, like some instant-on organic recorder. Perhaps it’s that mystical connection that makes old wood-bodied cars so attractive to car buffs… and makes the material so welcomed for use in a model. Danbury Mint’s 1948 Chrysler Town […]
Look Back 1:18: Ricko Cadillac V16 “Aero-Dynamic Coupe”

Look Back 1:18: Ricko Cadillac V16 “Aero-Dynamic Coupe”

A few years ago, Ricko (or RickoRicko, if you want to be picky picky) was a little known German company that was being distributed in the U.S. in fits and spurts, which was a shame. They actually had a few neat, fairly inspired images in 1:18, including a wee BMW “Dixi” sedan, a substantially more […]
Who You Gonna Call?: Ecto-1 In Collectors’ Hands at Last

Who You Gonna Call?: Ecto-1 In Collectors’ Hands at Last

Well, well, well – at last, one of the most desired movie car icons of the last quarter century has arrived in true 1:18, and the ripple effect is catching up “serious” collectors as well as movie car fans. Hot Wheels Elite’s new 1959 Cadillac limousine-style Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex – a handful of a name […]
Look Back 1:18: Lane 1968 “Nickey” Camaro

Look Back 1:18: Lane 1968 “Nickey” Camaro

Lane Automotive was – and still is – a supplier of high-performance automotive parts, based in Watervliet, Michigan. In the late 1990’s, they also became a supplier to the 1:18 diecast hobby, offering re-pops of Ertl molds that were built to spec for sale to an image-hungry musclecar collector base. Those early models were fairly […]
Look Back 1:18: Revell Germany’s Messerschmitt KR200 “Kabinenroller”

Look Back 1:18: Revell Germany’s Messerschmitt KR200 “Kabinenroller”

Park the Prius; unplug your Volt; use those do-it-yourself fuel cell plans you just bought for the Mini to spark up the backyard barbecue. All that physics-stretching, newfangled technology is namby-pamby stuff. If you want to make mileage like they did in the old days, think microcar. These ’fifties-era spawns of the European postwar economy […]
Look Back 1:18: Precision 100 Ford Mustang Convertible

Look Back 1:18: Precision 100 Ford Mustang Convertible

There are a few milestone models in the 1:18 hobby. On the one hand, there are the early, inexpensive Bburagos and Ertls that attracted most collectors to the scale in the first place, and on the other, the super-detailed (and far pricier) one-to-eighteen offerings from makers like Exoto, Lane Exact Detail, and GMP that introduced […]
Alfa Male: Minichamps 1:18 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior

Alfa Male: Minichamps 1:18 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior

Minichamps’ model of the 1972 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior is an outrageous looking thing, much like the real car it’s patterned after. All bulging fenders, riveted-on bodywork, and molto bad attitude, it come out of its box looking… angry. And that would be just about right; these were ripping little cars. 1290cc DOHC inline […]
