Drought

Its a usual occurrence, when I get half a dozen new cars in such a short time period, then nothing for weeks. It doesn't stop me from looking regularly - but I get a bit disappointed when I go for more than a week or two with nothing new. So this update is just about how there is nothing new yet. For the sake of posting a picture, I present this graphic from my collecting website:

1 New Car Today

This Dodge Ram 1500 pickup in red looks much better in my opinion than the purple one. More... manly?

Good Day For New Cars

Today was a good day for new cars. I didn't get any treasure hunts but I did find a few new models and some variations for the 2007 First Editions. They have been trickling in for the past month, today the flow was better than average.

It started when I spied the white '70 Firebird. I like a lot of the old musclecars - this one is one of my favorites. The 66 Nova doesn't appeal to me as much but I was quite pleased to see the Buick Grand National.

To be objective, I could say the design of this car is a bit ugly - but in an '80's context it has a definite "edginess".

This red Camaro doesn't look quite as sexy with plain old 5spokes.
Colour variations were found for the Shelby and Charger, as well as a Ferrari blueline.




The great surprise for me today was this 5 pack. Gotham City is the name and it contains some awesome models. The top is a bike I have not seen before, but it looks very cool. Next is the 'Batman Begins' Batmobile - one of the best for sure - it was never released as a mainline car as far as I know. Then a Viper coupe with matte black paint. The helicopter looks very cool too but I don't recognize it - anybody know about it? please let me know. And the submarine is a mainline casting from a few years ago, but looks like it fits with the Gotham theme here - I might have to open this package!
