GMP diecast no longer, new name.

Got my 90 limited edition. #286 of 702 made

Gmp got a little creative with some of the materials

I like it. Back in the box. What's next?

You know you can remove that luggage rack and weld the holes up.....

What's going on with Welly?

When these came out, they were cheap $20 cars on par with Miasto. Now they are $100+?

This red one went for almost $200. Someone has a grabber blue one for over $200

Reason I ask is because I bought a grabber blue one and tried to eBay it years ago for $20 with no bites. Now they are $200+?

No clue, must have become a hot item lately!

I still need to get the NYPD hatchback, and I want that resin GT350R Acme is offering from GT Spirit. I recently moved and have all my models wrapped and laying in their new display room, I need to figure out how to put all the display cases one of these days!

Just saw Acme/GMP is releasing 2 more next April. South Carolina SSP and US Border Patrol SSP. I probably won't get either, because then I'd want every damn police vehicle out there. I only have the FBI pursuit car & Michigan SSP. But I love seeing them being pumped out consistantly!

I just got my NYPD hatchback this week. Got an extra Vermillion 1993 LX and FBI pursuit car as well, if anyone might want to trade/buy. I picked them up for a friend and surprise he didn't end up taking them after all.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I only have the FBI car, so i'll probably pick one up. Probably get the US border patrol one, but maybe both who knows.

I think the notchbacks are the first molds, which aren't that accurate IMHO so my enthusiasm is a little less. They got the molds better with the newer LX hatch and GT's


I don't know how many additional combinations they can come up with on the current molds. They could possibly do the white and red Limited edition LX convertibles, or maybe a nice 1993 GT convertible 2-tone, or I would absolutely love if they did a black/black LX hatchback.

Vermillion 1993 is probably my favorite one so far.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Ok. I snagged the border patrol car. Cool color. #141 of only 528 made.

Back into the box after pics and squirreled away

 

[Ozz]

I didn't realize that was the color; that's pretty unique!

I haven't gotten any new GMP/Acme models since my last post, but I have still been adding models from other brands.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Acme/gmp's latest release due around DEC

 

[Mustang5L5]

Also available in grabber blue

 

[Ozz]

Hmmm...

Kinda cool, colors are neat, but those wheels are hideous. Is this one based on an old drag car or something?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Just a reboot of this car...setup more for drag and less for street

I get the impression Acme won't be releasing any new molds and is simply "rebooting" it's current supply into different mix and colors. Not sure there is much else to do that hasn't been done already. Maybe the Red or white Limited edition '93?

I'm still waiting for a black LX with black interior. Just need to replicate my polished '01 cobra wheels and I can make a replica of my car.

 

[Ozz]

I recognize and remember the gray street Cobra, I was just wondering if this "King Snake" is an actual car or if that was the best marketing idea they could come up with on their own. Because I would think they could have done better

I like the parachute & wheelie bar, I'll definitely pick one up. I'm thinking green right now since I have some Grabber Blue on display already. Greens are pretty scarce!

I went Grabber blue because two of my die casts with best resale, 1993 teal cobra, and Autoart Azure blue mach 1, seem to be the popular colors that were the most in demand.

And yeah...King Snake is lame.

 

[Ozz]

I've had a couple blue Mach 1s over the years. When the prices skyrocket I used to sell mine, then would wait to find a nice deal on another. I'd put the difference into another model so I could grow my collection "organically" and not feel bad. Haven't bothered considering that in a few years, but it was fun when I did. I got my teal Cobra from my wife so I wouldn't sell that one, but I did flip another one or two of those as well. One I put in the closet and forgot I even had until about a year later when I uncovered it

 

[Mustang5L5]

I've still got your Silver '84 SVO I bought from you years back. I don't think I've even taken it out of the box other than when I first received it.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Got the latest one. Haven't unboxed yet. I got the blue one

Pretty low run of them as well

 

[Mustang5L5]

#74 of 516

 

[Tubbster66]

I had no idea these existed until i went to go buy my Cobra. The guy I bought it from had a 1993 Cobra that matched mine. I asked if he would have thrown in the model if I paid full price. No deal.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Hop on eBay. Search "GMP mustang". Be prepared to spend $$

The red ones can be had for cheaper than this. I have this exact car and on a few FB die cast group I've had some offers in this range. I held
