Re: Die-cast 67-72
My 7 yr. old daughter brought 8 of the Easter version home and said "Dad we have some customizing to do!". She's awesome.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I just picked up these Jada 1/32 scale trucks at the Run to the Sun show in Myrtle Beach. I had not seen this scale before. Here's a borrowed internet pic.

There were 6 different trucks, with 2 of each one. The 2 of each were the same color. I don't know if that was 1 or 2 cases. solid black '53 Chevy, solid white '55 Chevy, I forgot what the other were.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I've never seen those either. Too bad these modern diecast companies can't stick to the tradition scales: 1/87, 1/64, 1/43, 1/24-1/25, and 1/16. It's fine for an exclusive collection of one particular vehicle, such as 67-72 GM Trucks, but fouls things up for putting with other vehicles or dioramas. I think First Gear began the 1/34 scale on the heavy duty trucks they started with, but even they wound up producing in good old 1/25th scale, which makes me happy. I'll probably get one of these just to have one example

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I'd stick around to chat, but I have to head out to drive 70 miles to a farm toy show where I hope to find some good 67-72 diecast.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I went about ape on these. Reminds me of the 80s & 90s when I was sick on old toys and traveled all over to shows. I spent way more than what I did today. My motivation today was it was like looking at a whole Ebay page of 67-72 Greenlights with cheaper Buy it Nows w/free shipping and multiple purchase discount. I got a camper, a trailer combo and a third pickup from one guy for $25. The guy who got Greenlight to start the Dad's Garage series sold me those three. That red & white truck is the first and it's a replica of a truck his dad had. He had a performance shop and his son sells the diecast (wasn't there). The shop/website is listed on the package of the new releases such as Dad's Garage and Midnight Series > TJ's Diecast

Re: Die-cast 67-72
Some have been around a bit, but some just came out. I probably shouldn't have gone. The funny thing is, a month ago I went to a smaller one up at the fairgrounds the day after a snow. Hardly anybody but vendors were there. I spent $20 on two and talked to the guy a while. He and another guy put on the Berryville show, in Boyce for the first time this year (15th annual). I was hoping he would still have a Greenlight I wished I had money for before. This show is much bigger. I recognized his stuff, but I guess it was his son there, and there was nothing on his tables I wanted. There was one very special Greenlight I would have liked to get, but it was ex-pen-sive! Dad's garage (whitewalls w/slots) that was a green machine edition. I don't care for all that green machine stuff with green wheels, I'll pass. Kinda dumb IMO. But this one had green & white 2-tone and normal wheels. The thing was, it was $35!

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I keep coming back here just to look at the picture. The day I first see a rel one it will be "There it is!", after looking at a picture for so long.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I saw the Easter trucks twice. I lucked onto an unopened shipper at one store, so I opened it up and grabbed my Easter set from it. The next day I was at another store shortly after they stocked the Easter cars and they had the trucks. I was back the next day and the trucks were all gone, but there was plenty of the rest of the Easter cars.

Re: Die-cast 67-72
I think the Easter Trucks/Cars are a Walmart exclusive.
