well I just found these.



I think there kind of cool I will have to take a look at wal-mart andsee if they got them. has anyone else came across any like these?

I think the race cars are the coolest ones

 

Awsome, thanks for sharing and let me know when and where you find some.

 

Whoa, I am an avid 3rd Gen (and general muscle car) die cast collector, and I haven't seen those yet. Thanks for Sharing!

 

Cool stuff! Ill have to check walmart for some next time i go. They do look sharp!

 

looks cool, but im not a fan of dub. especially since everytime i look at the white and black gn i have and see the ps2 where the radio would be.

 

Unfortunately they skipped the 80's BIRDS.

 

in this one it looks like the t-tops come out ....cool!

 

whoa.. I'm going to have to get several of those!

 

Yeah. Thanks for sharing. Need to add a few to the collection.

 

well I checked ebay, they haven't hit there yet

 

Does it disturb anyone else they call them 85s yet they have 82-84 hoods?

 

Ya but these things always have little cues that dont match the year i have got used to it. At least they put the Decals in the right spot for an '85!

By the way when you guys buy or collect these do you ever take them out of the packages? I cant help but take them out and play with them even though they may be worth more in the package. Im still a little kid

 

Exactly! If I wanted to play with a box, I'd find a box! Won't ever be sold anyway.

 

I don't know,but,I coudn't find those on Dub city's website....... might just be me lol

 

I agree even though Im 19 yrs old I still have a little kid left in me I cant resist either

 

Nice thing though about being an adult is sometimes you can buy 2!
One to collect and one to play with.

The 1:18 scale Camaro has to keep me busy over winter until I can pull out the 1:1 scale toy for summer.
Unfortunitly, I only have one of the 1:1 scale toys . . . so far.
And it's not in it's original box.

I just pre-ordered a GTA last night, and am thinking about the TTA also...it's hard to say when there will be any more third gen Firebird die-casts after these are gone...

 

How did you pre-order?

 

I went through diecastmuscle.com (this was on the list of GreenLight's places to buy from). I remember reading about a few other people ordering from there too, though I don't know if one place is any better than the others...

 

I just found more on their website:






They all look pretty nice to me.

 

damn, those are 1:24 thou!

 

And they look like someone dropped the suspension lower than a cigarette pack. Could they fit the wheels any higher into the car?

 

its JUST a toy.

 

I know. But it'd be nice if a company could produce a toy without having to cater to the "Dubz" crowd. Especially when the company that is marketing the toy is called big time muscle. :P

 

i`ll buy one anyway, ive been looking for 3rd gen camaro dinky cars. has anyone ever seen the die-cast 82 Indy pace car

 

WHERE ARE THE 'BIRDS!!! Damn 'birds get no luvin' ...

Here's my collection, divided by column, per gens...The first column is Vettes, but pretty soon, they will be pulled off, everything moved over, and the 5th gens will start being added!

I'm gonna look for these tomorrow...my 3rd gen colum is too short.

 

For those looking for 1:64 scale 3rd Gen Pontiac diecast- there are choices out there-

for example- since the 80's Hot Wheels made the " '80's Firebird ". (82-84 style) You can find many, many variations in colors, decos, rims, etc over the years. Look on ebay to get started.

In addition to this- Hot Wheels also made an '87 esque era diecast Trans Am in a slightly larger diecast size. (probably about 4" long) It's proportioned a little out of scale with larger rear tires and a pullpack feature, but it's still otherwise cool.

Matchbox has at least one 80's Trans Am, too.

Then there's the "Lock ups" brand cars. Offered for a few years in the early 80's they made both a Trans am and Camaro around 1982. Early third gens, they haverubber tires and opening doors that will lock up with the use of the included key. The wheels would lock up, also. It was a neat feature, but they werne't around for too long.

and I've seen many generic/ knock off 3rd gen pontiacs in 1:64 diecast. I saw a 3rd gen trans am i n1:64 in wal-mart just last week in a private label packaging (kid connection)

And then there's all the Knight Rider Trans Ams....

 

Do you guys know of any 1:18 third gen die casts?



These are only some of mine...

It'd be nice to add a thirdgen, but I've never been able to find one.

 

Those are cool, but 1:64 is Hot Wheels sized... that's damn small.

I hate race cars, but the Irocs you posted are HOT!!!

 

I pre ordered two GTAs from diecastmuscle awhile back. They keep changing the date when they are expected. At first, I was supposed to have them at xmas...now its pushed back to this August.

Anyway...Im keeping one the way it is... and the other... Im going to disect a 4th gen 1:18 and make the GTA look just like myc ar. LS1, seats, console wheels, whatever I can graft over... Should be pretty cool.

Justin

 

add the wing and ss hood you'd have my car...

looks fake. are they for sale yet? wish they would quit making 82-84 thirdgens, even though they were the most sold years they were the ugliest..
