They Are Not Selling Most Of The Ones I Have Now. These Were The First Issues. Igot All Of Them But One And A Friend Of Mine Got The One I Didn't,and I Finally Got From Him. You Can Always Do A Search For Higway 61 Diecast And Find Them.

i've bought all those quite a while back, i have the website on my favorites list and as soon as new ones show up, i pre-order. sometimes it takes a few monthsbut they're well worth the wait. nicely detailed trucks.

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

I wish they were 1/24.I can`t get into the 1/18 scale.I may end up getting one,though.

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

hey captain i never find the 67-68 where did you get that one

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

What are they too tall? :lol:

Cool models! If I wasn't building a 1:1 in my garage right now I'd be ordering a few!

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

No,it`s just a new-fangled scale to me.Traditionally everything has been 1/24,1/43,or 1/64 scale.After collecting for all these years I like to display in "like" scales.Plus you can appreciate detail on a smaller piece.I`d like to be able to display these with all my other promos,Ertl die cast,model kits,Danbury Mint,etc.that I already have these trucks in.Plus,they just take up that much more room.Also,you have to limit your collecting somewhere.And,when they came out with 1/16,I decided not to bite.It`s just a scale that represents the late collectible craze of all these "made in China" products.I`m mostly a vintage collector.If you build diaramas,that`s another reason.They would get huge and you can`t cross-display scales(or I can`t).I don`t know why they started this scale.It seems to fall under "bigger is better"and in scale models,to me,it`s about miniature and 1/24 has been the limit for decades.
Hey,It`s just the way I think.Not knocking them.I held a "Dazed and Confused" 1/24 in my hand the other day.I thought I`d buy anything in these trucks.But,I put it down because it looks a touch under scale and I just didn`t like some of the detail,like side mouldings.I figured if I bought it,I`d modify it and shave the trim andput better wheels on it.
I really do like the two-tone Hiway61s.

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

I wasn't picking on ya, just trying to make a funny! You make good points, I have a small collection of 1:18 models, mainly because they sold them at my previous job, so I could get them pretty cheap. And I agree about appreciating the detail on a smaller scale more.

Re: 1:18 Diecast
 

No offense taken.I just tend to overexplain,I guess:rolleyes:.Must be the detail-oriented in me:lol:.I just figure all will see my comments and I don`t want to come off as bashing 1/18 scale.So,I gave my thorough explaination to cover my take on "scales".Geez,how nerdy:haha:,getting into a discussion on scale.Who GAF?Never though my life would come to this pathetic state:whine:.




It`s all good:sexy:
