It’s a Greenlight! So no spoiler here though I might’ve gotten a couple of reactions from peopleAnd I scooped it right up to add to the few but growing number of the elusive blue beast in my collection.

GL165 2019+ Chevrolet Silverado 

Some of the beauties I picked up this past weekend 

Hobby Photography Attempt 

I found this Greenie earlier this year. It was my first find in the wild. There's a lot of info online about various models but whenever I do a search on this specific one I can never find anything with the matching green rims and chassis, all I ever see is one with blue rims. Anyone have any insight on this and it's rarity compared to a blue rimmed version?

I love the Foxbody Cop cars!

Prototype/first shot/pre-production sample of GL076 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. An interesting detail is the blackout bow ties especially the one on the trunk lid that was removed prior to its production tooling.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze 

Is it just me or does Hobby Lobby always have the same series Greenlight? For the past few months I haven’t seen any new series or is there a specific truck stocking day?

Can you guess which is the Chase?

Shoutout to whoever worked on the toolings for the 2-door Jeeps, from the CJ to the Wrangler. They look good, even next to castings well above their price-point.

I have these want more of the HP .  I want that Winnebago but everyone is chasing it lol

According to a former Greenlight Collectables employee this error was the result of having the tampo pads incorrectly installed causing the test print to be reversed and having the front door logos printed on the rear. Also the wheel arches and lower silver tampos didn’t get applied. Other details changed/added the BB license plate was corrected to a more US style, black line added to separate headlights, more spacing on taillights, darker silver paint on bumpers.

Nice find!

All the way from Austria

I went out to meet a fellow collector for an M2 "smokebox" 1973 Chevy Van, which I was already pretty excited about considering it'll likely be months before they hit the shelves where I'm from (if at all considering the rampant scalping/insider-ism that's all too common)

Where we met happened to be within a few minutes of a Walmart, so I figured 'what the heck, I'll peek in.'

With about 15 minutes left before the store closed, I got to the diecast isle and noticed a couple of newly stocked pegs where the Greenlights reside.

At first, I was excited, the likelihood of it being a complete set was high, at a glance there looked to be ten or so, so I started picking them out.

5 out of 6. Dammit. I was taking them home regardless, but to get a complete set would have been the ultimate success.

But then I looked. And realized. The 1964 Chevy Impala Convertible that was absent from the set .. in its place? The raw, 1955 Bel Air Chase.

I don't think I've ever power-walked to the checkout so fast, as if I'd be mugged by some goon for it. 

So here we are, a car shy of a set, but with my very first Greenlight Chase
