One to watch for.
Here's a new 1:64 scale diecast to watch for. Hopefully it won't be cancelled.
Might even be able to get a limited edition Green Machine edition. Barrett-Jackson Auction Block 1970 Chevy C-10 Pickup *Detailed Engines *Real Rubber Tires *Metal Body and Chassis *Detailed Graphics and Custom License Plates *Officially Licensed by General Motors

Re: One to watch for.
Greenlight is another diecast manufacturer. They are comparable to Jada or Johnny Lightning in quality. The diecast they make are usually limited to around 2500 in quantity. They also make another 10% in what they call a "Green Machine". which is usually; but not always an all green color of the normal diecast. All of them are also numbered on the bottom. Green Machines are like the the Johnny Lightning "White Lightning" editions.
I have found Greenlight diecasts at the local Walmart, Target, and Kmart. I think these are going to be very much comparable in quality to the Jada '72 Cheyenne. I want to get at least an extra one and paint it blue/white like my '69. Here's their web site http://www.greenlighttoys.com/

Re: One to watch for.
i`ll be watching,for sure...thanks!!!
This one sure is comparable to the Jada Cheyenne,even the same color.I`d think they`d want another variety,unless they are playing on the popularity of the rare Jada.I still like the Jada more.It`s funny how people call ocre baby poop,yet it has become so popular.I`d think a hugger orange/white or medium blue/white model would sell like hit cakes,being those are the two most popular color combos. EDIT:uh...is that thing medium gold poly?...good choice,if it is.

Re: One to watch for.
Yeah, I thought about pre-ordering too, But several months ago they were advertising the County Roads collection with the '69 Fleetside. I kept waiting and waiting, and then when they finally released the collection, they changed the Fleetside to a yellow Ramcharger? ( the Dodge version of the Blazer). So I just check the site every couple of days. I sure would like to get one of the Green Machine versions.

Re: One to watch for.
Yeah I ran across the same thing with version 2 of Country Roads. Hopefully they will stay on track this time.

Re: One to watch for.
How long does it usually take for them to verify your order and send shipping details/info? I ordered/paid Friday.

Re: One to watch for.
I haven't seen any in stores. I ordered mine from Milezone.com There's also a '69 to be released next. It has a 67-68 grill. It's a light blue almost silver color. I think Fleetside Paul has a thread about it. Check Walmart and Kmart also.
