Gearbox Crown Vic's and First Response CV's

Was never a big fan of Gearbox's Crown Vic (Love the Impalla and Expedition models though) I bought the CHP version way back when Tonka was the licence holder I think. I found that the casting was off IMHO. Not to mention the wrong paint scheme for CHP, how anyone can get it wrong is a mystery ie Corgi. Well with Gearbox seemingly going out of business I invested in a few of their Crown Vic's recently. Most notable the Burbank, Glendale Premiers and the Fort Lee regular release. I have to say, the models are a reasonably good product now. The new metal hub wheels make a huge difference.
.
Whilst I, like many others am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the First Response models. I have compared my old PSP Fleer Crown Vic to the newer improved Gearbox Crown Vic's. I feel the Fleer car is still higher in quality. The new First Response cars are going to be great.
