We are expecting the new Henrico County Virginia Fire Trucks by TWH Collectibles to arrive in the next couple of weeks. We were in Virginia over Spring Break week and had a chance to see the real thing up close. I've posted a short video of the outing on YouTube.
Those of you that have seen the Kern County trucks will know what to expect. These trucks are really loaded up. Enjoy the video, I don't think I'm any threat to Speilberg yet... but who knows?

M2 keeps rolling
I have just finished putting together the new listings that M2Machines has announced. I love M2 because it never gets old. They keep rolling out products unlike any I've seen. The most exciting thing now is the new Auto-Lift, which premiered for New York Toy Fair in February. The production on the first Auto-Lift was limited to 720 pieces, so it's a joy to be able to offer them to you. This one includes two different paint schemes of a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS Muscle Car, with the display base for "2009 New York Toy Fair." Obviously, we have very limited quantities, but we have stocked enough to give you a good chance to add them to your collection. Don't miss out!
The Auto-Lift Release 1 has also been announce. Each will include the Auto-Lift and 2 paint schemes of a popular M2 car. Here is what has is being offered in release 1:
1957 Chevy Bel Air
1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
1969 Plymouth Road Runner
Plus, the Auto-Lifts will be available by themselves in packs of 5 extra stacks. These will all be available in May, except the Toy Fair Auto-Lift, which is available NOW!
Oh but wait, that's not all! We've got 2 more releases!
The new Detroit Muscle has been announced, and we'll be offering them in 2-Piece sets! Here's what we've got coming in April:
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

Catalina is a-waitin for me
Anyone else remember that song?
"Twenty- six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance"
That goes back to around 1960, many years before I was born. Still, I grew up on music like this, and I can't stop the song from running through my head when I see this Custom Catalina. When I listen to that song I think back to the ideals of the 1950s, with high pony-tails and poodle skirts and sock hops. The same thoughts strike me while looking at this car. It really is a beautiful model.
1955 Pontiac® Star Chief® Custom Catalina In Black over Red - Strict Limited Edition of just 550 pcs each!
1955 Pontiac® Star Chief® Custom Catalina In Red over Black - Strict Limited Edition of just 550 pcs each!
With the introduction of the Star Chief™ in 1955, Pontiac® shed its stodgy image-with a vengeance. It also disproved the old adage that beauty’s only skin deep: for under that sexy, eye-catching two-tone paint scheme beat the heart of lion, in the form of the all-new “Strato-Streak” V-8 engine that produced 180hp and roared from 0-60 in 13.8 seconds.
Now, Franklin Mint Precision Models honors the legendary Star Chief™ as never before. And by acting now, you can choose one or both of the spectacular models featured here-one painted red on top and black on the bottom, the other black on top and red on the bottom…the very same option GM® offered customers back in '55!
Each is hand-assembled from more than 100 separate parts and each is packed with the authentic details that are the hallmarks of Franklin Mint Precision Models. Every detail of the powerful “Strato-Streak” V-8 stands out in lifelike clarity; the interior is matched perfectly to the original and such realistic working features as operable steering, functional suspension and doors, hood and trunk that open and close complete one awesome die-cast re-creation.
We'll also be looking for this sleek beauty in June:
