[BaadAssGremlins] More on Motor Max diecasts upcoming...small Gremlins and Pacers..

["Jerry" <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

 There now will be both Gremlin AND Pacer diecasts soon showing up 
on our shores, courtesy of China. 
 Motor Max, a diecast maker, but not known for truly high quality 
stuff, is coming out with (well, already has!) a 1/24th metal 
Gremlin. Already seen 5 on Ebay since last week. I got in contact 
with a Motor Max company rep after a hunt on the Internet, who says 
these are hot items and they're stocking up now. I also found out by 
accident this past week, some new small-scale Motor max cars at Wal-
mart, on the shelf now, called Fresh Cherries, in plastic blister 
packs, next to the Matchbox cars. So far, '77 Mustang II, '70 Pinto 
( doesn't exist ), and '70 Maverick. But on the back of the package, 
I saw it also said AMC , registered trademark of 
DaimlerChrysler...whoa! So I mentioned this in an email to Mr. Chan, 
the rep, and his response was that they are making both Gremlin and 
Pacer 1/64th diecasts for the Fresh Cherries series <BIG GRIN>. 
Also, they are making a 1/16th scale Pacer R/C model! 
  Now,assuming that Wal-mart is already selling the Cherries, and 
they love selling stuff from China, I would "assume" that they will 
probably be selling the R/C Pacers as well, but I didn't ask the 
rep, and he didn't tell me that. So you'll have to start looking, 
and wait for any updates I get. Mr. Chan said probably end of April, 
but he was surprised that the Cherries were already in Wal-mart. So, 
I'm not sure if he's a direct company distributor, or what, I 
thought so, but apparently they're out there faster than he thought. 
  Motor Max vehicles, the 1/24th size, come in blue and yellow 
boxes. The Cherries are in a green and red rounded blister package, 
due to the cherry shape of the picture. I have found no local 
carrier of the 1/24th, Mr. Chan said he'd find me a local 
distributor if I didn't want to buy wholesale from him ( $500 
minimum order ), but I may do that, and take the cars to Cecil 
County All-AMC day in Maryland. I'll have to find out the schedule 
of shipments, to see if they can make that date ( June? ). Should be 
able to. So, I'm thinking about becoming a Vendor. LOL. 
  Anyway, thought you people might appreciate a "look into the 
crystal ball" to let you know what's in store ( or not yet ) for 
future AMC die casts. Start checking Wal-marts! I have no idea when 
the AMC cars will hit, but the Fords are there now, so AMCs 
shouldn't be too far behind, a few months at most. Stay tuned!
