Philip - USA | Review Date: 4/7/2021 3:19:04 PM | Overall Rating | Experience Level: High | Purchased for: Personal Collection | 5 | Greenlight is admittedly one of my favorite 1/64 diecast manufacturers, so there is some natural bias in favor of the cars, but these remain an outstanding balance of design / quality / value. Remember that in 1980, when I happened to be a kid and was collecting Matchbox and everything else 1/64-scale, the cars hovered around $1, or a whopping $1.29 at the drug store. Costs have been slashed through manufacturing locations and methods, and that $1 would be nearly $5 today accounting for inflation. But the detail you get in amazing. Personally, I'd pay a little extra for some detailed engines / opening hoods / etc., but apparently to keep the cost level, Greenlight is not offering these features on the newest castings. Auto World must be THE best combination of detail / accuracy, quality, and value, but Greenlight does well with products like this Diplomat / Fury model. |
