NEW ARRIVALS - JUNE 2008

A lot of new releases in June, including the long waited Mad Max V8 Interceptor from AUTOart. The Interceptor is stunning, a very fine piece of diecast model. Good job AUTOart ! We really hope AA will make more movie related models in the future. We only have a few piece left of the 1966 TV Batmobile (again), but we are expecting another shipment in mid-July.

Now in stock - ERTL Authentics 1:18 The Dukes of Hazzard 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee

The ERTL Authentic 1:18 General Lee has finally arrived. What a beauty. We can say this is the best 1:18 General Lee ever made (so far). This is a one time offer from ERTL, so get one when it's still available. It's going fast !!

We've also received some new items from the new Batman and Speed Racer movie. Including the 1:16 remote control Batmobile and the 1:16 2008 Speed Racer Mach 5, Mach 6 remote control car. All full function.

SPEED RACER 2008

Speed Racer live-action movie, in theatre 9th, May 2008, only a few months away.

So, we'll be seeing a lot of merchandises from this movie. Since ERTL no longer has the license for Speed Racer diecast model as they are quitting the diecast industry (hey, grab the ERTL diecast now, it's retired). Jada Toys is the new owner of the Speed Racer license. . However, there's something that we need to let our customers know. Only Mattel (Hot Wheels) has the merchandise license to the 2008 live-action movie. Jada Toys's Speed Racer diecast are from the TV animation. You can tell by the different logos.

NOT DIECAST RELATED - HEATH LEDGER

This post is not really diecast related.... Well, it's about the upcoming movie "The Dark knight". Everyone at Pro-Models just feels so sad for the passing of Heath Ledger, who is playing The Joker in the movie. We all really have high hope for this young rising star (god, he's just 28), and his performance in 'Brokeback Mountain' is awesome. Just by watching the trailer of 'The Dark Knight', we can already tell how well he handled this role.

It's sad that we won't be seeing anymore future performance from Heath.... and it's a big lost. RIP Heath...

AUTHENTICS 1:18 1969 DODGE CHARGER GENERAL LEE - COMING SOON

Even though ERTL said they wont be making anymore diecast model in their press release, we still see new releases coming out from ERTL every other month. This time, they are making an authentics version of the popular 1969 Charger "General Lee". Just like other authentics release from ERTL, the authentic General Lee will be a lot more expensive then the regular one. We are predicting somewhere around $75-$80 MSRP. Of course there will be a lot of "add-on" in the authentic version. The most obvious is the antenna at the back of the car, and opening truck. We are expecting our shipment in Feb 2008.

GREENLIGHT COLLECTIBLE 1969 YENKO CAMARO 1:24 - IN STOCK

We received another fine addition from Greenlight Collectibles, the 1969 Yenko Camaro in 1:24 scale. Such a beautiful car. Greenlight has done a very good job on this one. Awesome paint-job, detailed engine and interior, also features steering front wheels.

We are looking forward to more excellent cars from Greenlight.

BBURAGO 1:18 ASTON MARTIN V12 VANQUISH - IN STOCK

The 2002 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is the first BBurago model that we carry. The quality of BBurago is actually very high with excellent paint-job. The Vanqish also features opening front hood, doors, opening trunk and steering front wheels. It comes in two different colors: Black and Dark Green.
