Wall Tracks I know a lot of adults and kids who love Hot Wheels and other small die-cast vehicles. Many keep one sample in the package and buy a second to play with.

1968 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback I'm about to write a review for something I've never written a review about before. I've written reviews for Greenlight Collectible's many times before-for its small scale die-cast vehicles. What I've never written a review for is for a large scale (1:18) Greenlight Collectibles' die-cast vehicle. This is a first and what a first it is. Talk about starting out with a bang! Greenlight has just released a 1:18 Scale, Limited Edition, 1968 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback and it's a beaut! Painted a metallic blue, the two-door Mustang is decorated with gold GO GO GONE side decals in along with Jimbo's Pure Oil verbiage, also in gold. A large white stripe begins at the front of the car and ends about 3/4 of the way back on the chassis and then turns back to the middle of the doors. Chrome trim lines all the windows and covers the bumpers, mirrors, grill, lights and door handles. Side vents behind the passengers give the Fastback the look of appearing in motion even when standing still. A wide back stripe runs down the middle of the hood. The rear hatchback opens revealing a surprising amount of storage room. Open the front hood and a complete engine comes into view. Hoses, belts, components, a battery and all the other usual engine parts are recreated in perfect detail, right down to the colors! Flip the car over and a drive train, muffler system and accurate undercarriage details, such as an oil pan, shocks, struts and additional undercarriage components are all there. Rubber tires are mounted on solid black wheels with chrome interiors. Take a peek inside and you'll discover a solid black interior with a working steering wheel that actually turns the front wheels. Twin bucket seats with a gold tip gear shift between them are accompanied by a full instrument panel, gas, brake and clutch pedals, interior door and window handles, side speakers, rear speakers, silver door trim, a single rear seat and seatbelts. Talk about detail! The car comes in an attractive display box with side and front clear
panels with a Mustang background photo.
The car is held in place by a plastic full-body sleeve, protective
front and rear plastic sleeves and a plastic strip securing the doors shut. All-in-all this is one sweet diecast and
I'm glad I had the opportunity to review it.
Hot Pursuit 9 Crime fighting has never looked better than it does with Greenlight Collectible's 1:64 Scale, Limited Edition, die-cast metal chassis police cars, including trading cards, set. Now that's a mouthful! Six miniature cars make up the Hot Pursuit set. All feature rubber-like tires, incredible interior and exterior details, crisp with no slop-over painting and miniature decals that match their larger namesakes. In this age of cheap knockoff die-cast vehicles it's nice to see a company that doesn't settle for anything else but the very best when it comes to its products. Greenlight's die-cast collections are top quality right down to its sealed, plastic bubble, hanging packages. You can be assured that each and every vehicle is safe and secure it its heavy gauge plastic container. Hot Pursuit's packages include a special trading card in each, a full color photo front depicting the die-cast car contained and the name of the vehicle prominently displayed below the plastic encased car. The six vehicles include a Wilmington Ohio Police 2009 Dodge Charger in deep steel blue with roof mounted lights, POLICE insignia on both side panels and solid black interior. The Oregon Highway Patrol, 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is painted a deep navy blue with yellow side decals and stars with a clear roof mounted light assembly and silver trim accents.

The Westfield Indiana Police, 2011 Ford Explorer is painted white with two-tone blue side strips, four doors, a station wagon rear door with wraparound rear window, side mirrors and a characteristic front grill. The blue and white Raleigh Police North Carolina, 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor has four doors, roof lights, front and back POLICE decals, side sheriff logos and silver body wrapped front and rear bumpers. What better way to 'Serve & Protect?"
Tron: Legacy Even though the Tron: Legacy movie is long gone from movie theaters and the Blu-ray/DVD has been released nearly a month (both the movie and Blu-ray/DVD releases are huge hits) and the Tron: Legacy toys have all but disappeared from store shelves, you can still find some of the diecast vehicles. While the light-up figures and vehicles were the main draw for the Spin Master toy line the smaller diecast were (and are) just as interesting. Seven vehicles make up the diecast Series 1 collection and each is a well-designed, superbly detailed, expertly painted and handsomely carded vehicle. The set includes Sam's Light Cycle, Clu's Light Cycle, Kevin Flynn's Light Cycle, Clu's Sentry Light Cycle, the Recognizer (a personal favorite), Clu's Command Ship and (my absolute favorite) the Light Runner. All have moving wheels and/or parts and look exactly light their larger
counterparts. All are displayed on
vertical bubble packs with a full-color illustration of the vehicle in the
package. The Tron: Legacy logo
displays predominantly on the top.
Full vehicle details are on the back.
Motor World Greenlight has just released twelve new die cast vehicles in its Motor World series. Each bubble packed vehicle features super fine detailing both on the exterior and interior. Paint application is smooth and even with no sloppy edges or bleed-overs. Tires are made of rubber-like material that give a real authenticity to each die cast miniature. Three separate sub-series make up the Motor World series. The Speed Series focuses on….you guessed it…speed! The Volkswagen Beetle RSi is a solid white bug of a different sort. With its bright green wheels, rear air scoop/stabilizer and aerodynamic body, the Beetle is ready to ‘bug out.’ The Porsche 356A is a classic convertible made for two passengers. Chrome wheels, a deep blue paint job, wraparound chrome fenders and a black interior make this every car lover’s dream. The new Dodge Viper SRT10 is a bright fire engine red with a solid two-seat black interior, bright chrome wheels, vented engine slots and solid integrated bumpers. Try ‘dodging that!’ Think of the yellow Lamborghini as a bullet on four wheels. This beauty is made for speed with it low profile, narrow swept front window and slit side windows, huge rear engine compartment with multi vents and wheel hugging frame. The three cars set All American Series include one of my favorite 1950s American automobiles-the Chevrolet Bel Air. This two-tone, almost two ton driving delight is a four seat mechanical monster with full chrome trim, wheels and bumpers. Painted red and white there is no mistaking this American masterpiece. The Chevrolet Camaro SS is a convertible two seater with lots of room in it black interior. Wedge shaped and riding high on its chrome wheels the Camaro is a marvel of muscle car mechanics. Another of my favorites is the Ford F-100 pick-up truck with its rounded cab, white wall tires, heavy bumpers, short bed and its telltale front grill with round headlights. Its creamy aqua finish makes this bad boy look tame but everyone knows there’s more power than plush to this classic truck. The final entry into the new Motor World Series is the five vehicle Classic Series. Volkswagen dominates this series with three vehicles. They include the solid silver Volkswagen 30, the predecessor to the well-known Bug. What many people don’t realize is that the Volkswagen ‘Bug’ was actually a ‘people’s car’ developed by Hitler’s Nazi during WWII. The red Volkswagen Beetle is the classic car that American’s loved-especially during the 1960s and 1970s. The rounded compact Beetle was air-cooled with a small but powerful engine in the rear. For a small car it featured a lot of room, minimal interior decoration and efficient controls. The Volkswagen Samba Bus features full multi-windows wrapping the entire upper body. Two-tone in red and cream, the Samba was a box on wheels with a trademark Volkswagen ‘VW’ squarely placed on its front. The Mini Cooper has long been a favorite of car collectors. The ultimate economy car, the Cooper is hugely popular in Europe and is making quite a splash in the U.S. This lovable little car is all business with its square but comfortable interior, small wheels and tires and compact body. It's fuel efficient, but a lot of fun to drive. On a more serious note the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a vehicle by which
all other emergency vehicles are gauged.
The white with yellow and orange insignia and symbols ambulance is a
customized extended van with lots of room for patients, emergency personnel
and equipment. Its completely
enclosed save for the front and side windows. Its slopped front end makes it aerodynamic to handle high
speeds and its chassis mass keeps it firmly stable while it does so.
GreenLight’s 1:64th Dioramas Series 3 Double up with Greenlight's 1:64 scale diecast Dioramas. Four new releases all packaged in attractive display boxes with a clear front and side panels for easy viewing. Colorful background photos/illustrations showcase each Diorama's particular theme. First up is Hitchin' a Ride that showcases two Indianapolis Yellow Cab vehicles, one yellow with illuminated roof sign and one more subtle silver. Both are late model cars (Ford Crown Victorias). The yellow cab features small silver hubcaps while the silver model sports large hubcaps. Each is a four-door with full exterior and interior details. Check out the grills and body details-sweet. Hey taxi! The Country Road Diorama showcases a family of three enjoying the great outdoors with their bright red 1969 Chevy C-10 camper with white capper and a handy red power generator to bring all the comforts of home to outdoor camping. A park ranger is also incuded. A Shelby Terlingua Ford Mustang and a Roy Woods Racing AMC Javelin AMX speed along the raceway in Greenlight's Road Racers Diorama. The yellow and black Mustang looks to be gaining on the red, white and blue Javelin as the both prepare to swing into a curve. You can practically smell the rubber and exhaust fumes. These babies are ready to race and rumble if the roll bars and pimped out engines are any indication. Zooom! The driver of the sleek blue street ready 1988 Pontiac Trans Am didn't count on the cop pulling him over in the Hot Pursuit Diorama. The black and tan 1990 Ford Mustang Florida High Patrol cruiser officer looks none too pleased as he writes a ticket (a very expensive ticket) for the driver. I especially like the detail on the cop's car with its blue rood lights number decals. All of the Diorama vehicles feature opening hoods, detailed engines, real
rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics and custom licenses.

Its sleek design belies the fact that it is a family station wagon with lots of cargo space.

Spyder, CSL, T-Modell And V10 Schuco’s presents a quartet of Edition 1:43 Scale diecast automobiles that redefine precision engineering, detail, paint and decal application in the diecast arena. Everyone loves a convertible and there's a lot to love with Schuco's Audi RB Spyder ragtop. This compact beauty is all car with its hug-the-road design, custom wheels and side air-scoops. Integrated lights and signals make the profile of the car smooth and uninterrupted by any protrusions, The only thing extending out from the car are the side mirror and those and solid streamline. Interior details include a deep red pair of body-contouring bucket seats, a wraparound instrument panel and interior side panels and seat backs. I especially like the rear body details, specifically the pop-up storage panel for the car's roof. The BMW 3.0 CSL is a yellow two-door sedan with more than its fair share of surprises. Check out the rood scoop and rear fin scoop. Slightly wedge-shaped, the CSL has a slight aerodynamic look provided by the slanted grill, side body trim, low profile and rounded windshield and rear window. The black interior seats four comfortably. The jet black Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse T-Modell station wagon smashes all perceptions that station wagons can't be sexy. Its slightly tilted forward design, curved body exterior and clever use of side-trim and integrated lights and signals make this car appear as if it is moving while standing still. White interior seats and dash give the car a welcome black and white contrast that magnifies its unique look. Large chrome wheels, roof, luggage tie-downs and large windows for sight-seeing while touring make this a family car with punch! The Audi R8 V10 Safety Car shows off its rear mounted engine through its rear window. The silver bullet is all muscle as evident by its wraparound body design, integrated signals and lights, oversize tires and wheels, slightly protruding wheel-wells and backward slanted roof lights. The R8 is a perfect example of Schuco's talent for decal and paint application. Decals are sharp on easily distinguishable, paint application is clean and crisp with no bleed-over and interior and exterior details are superior in every way. What's not to like about Schuco diecast vehicles?
As an artist and graphic designer I know that one of the hardest colors to work with is black. Solid black can be unforgiving and yet if applied correctly can make any product 'jump". And jump is just what it does in Greenlight's newest limited edition Black Bandit Collection diecast set of six 1:64 Scale vehicles. Each car is painted a glossy black, with wire tires and wheels. Some are trimmed in silver chrome. Each boasts black full interior details and realistic transparent windows, front, rear and side signal and details such as door handles, mirrors, etc. Vehicles include: 1966 Shelby GT-350, 1972 AMC Javelin AMX, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 1970 Oldsmobile 442, 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS and 1967 Pontiac GTO. All are displayed in custom bubble hanger packs with silver text and decoration and full vehicle info on the back. I especially like the Pontiac GTO convertible and Shelby GT-350. Both are cars I wish I had owned when I was younger. Sigh! If you want these black beauties you better hurry and buy them because
only 3500 will be produced.

to-scale dash and steering column, luxurious leather like seats and all the

top down, togs along a customized VW mini-enclosed trailer with bubble roof,
two-tone paint scheme and side windows.
The car is painted a deep copper with
cream interior, black folded back ragtop and fully chromed side upper door
accents, bumpers, mirrors, light enclosures and door handles. The Set VW (VW T3 mit Anhänger +
VW Käfer Cabrio is a light gray enclosed VW van with front side and rear
windows, black bumpers and slit side windows just behind the rear
window. It hauls a VW bug ragtop on a
twin axle flatbed trailer with hitch, and side extended turn and brake
signals. The ragtop VW Bug is a deep
metallic blue with full chrome details and black interior. All of the aforementioned
vehicles have wheels that turn, are huge on details (both exterior and
interior) and look great on display.
Bugs, Porsche and Ford From Schuco’s 1:72 Scale Junior Line comes
a quartet of VW vehicles that should please the most ardent "Bug” fan. Three VW Bus T1s make up part of the mix. Each feature the characteristic VW Bus T1 rounded, box shape, wrap-around fenders, flat front end with two-pane windshield and chrome hubcap wheels slightly obscured by the Bus’s chassis. The Transporter is painted in two-tones, black and red, with a chrome
strip dividing the colors running mid-vehicle. It, like the other buses, has the ‘swoosh’ front end with a
‘VW’ centered between round headlights.
The vehicle also has two side windows and a rear window. The Samba is painted in cream and orange and is a literal ‘mini-bus’. Five windows grace each side with small
tucked in windows in the front and rear chassis upper body curve. Four small half-windows sit above the
first four large side windows on each side.
The Pritsche is a VW Bus that has been converted to a pickup
configuration. The front passenger
compartment has been has a window directly behind the driver and
passenger. This allows the Bus to
have a large rear storage bed extended the rest of the length of the
Bus. The bed has a wooden floor. The VW Kafer is a classic VW Bug painted in blue/gray. It is trimmed out in chrome around the
windows and well as the mud panels, fenders, side trim, lights ad door
handles. All of the VW vehicles are perfectly scaled, crisply sculpted and nicely
painted with crisp edges and no overlaying of colors. The Porsche 911 RS in 1:43 Scale is a classy little sportster painted bright
orange with a white, two-strip running the length of the vehicle on the
driver’s side. Look for a rear air
scoop, chrome trimmed bumpers, black windshield wipers, a pacer light on the
driver’s hood, chrome wheels, rear engine vent, full front and rear
windshield and with three windows on each side, rear windows with heater
coils and twin chrome tailpipes.
Paint and deal supplication is precise, nicely executed and extremely
clean. The Ford Taunus Transit FK 1000 looks similar in design to the VW Pritsche,
except the driver’s compartment sits slightly higher ad the bed is shorter
and deeper. The cab has three window s on each side, a full one-piece windshield and
back window. Chrome details are on the wheels, lights, handles and undercarriage pipes
and hook straps. The bed contains three radiators in transit, set snuggly between the bed’s
stepped white interior. Check out the
blue paint job, with yellow upper cab and bumpers.

Sports Coop is low and ready to go two-seater with wraparound lights, chrome
wheels, full interior and exterior details including tinted windows, side
mirrors, full read and front lights and more. The black Porsche Boxster clocks
in at about the same size as the Cayman S only with fully-exposed deep tan
leather interior. Besides its chrome
wheels, lights, mirrors and other exterior details be sure to check out its
awesome interior. Bucket seats with
headrests, shift on the floor, dash with instruments and padded steering
wheel are just a few of he goodies to look for. Slightly smaller but no less
impressive is Schuco's Mini Cooper painted in black with white pull-back
roof, trim and hood stripes. The
diminutive four-seater is a study in miniature detail with full light, chrome
and interior recreations that match their larger counterparts. The Edition 1:87 Scale Mercedes-Benz
LP 608 red truck also includes red wheels, full chrome details, front and
side windows, underbelly details and large all-cap PORSCHE emblazoned on its
sides. Another 1:87 Scale beauty is the

special diecast cars that fans of miniature vehicles are sure to want. As with each and every Schuco diecast vehicle
these three feature excellent packaging that is not only attractive but
extremely sturdy, easy to view the vehicle through and protects your precious
diecast when you display it. I keep
each and every one of my Schuco diecast vehicles in their original boxes (if
possible) for display. With pets and kids running about,
one bump would be all it would take to destroy them without their display
cases. Good advice. The Porsche 550
Spyder #58, Carrera Panamericana 1954 is limited to 1,000. Painted a deep kelly
green, the sportster recreates the 1954 vehicle in 1:87 scale. Look for rubber tires, a gold steering
