Re: FIRST RESPONSE (Blank) Ford Crown Vic Moels

Don't let those kids over there scare you Chuck. Remember, you're dealing with the compulsive posters who find it necessary to post on every single topic.."cool", "neato", "I'll buy one" Just so thier number of posts that mean nothing goes up, and they can rub in our faces when they get 3,000 posts for the month

Re: FIRST RESPONSE (Blank) Ford Crown Vic Moels

I agree wholeheartedly with you Chuck. I now resort to not posting my email or real name because every time I dare criticize anything that Code 3 does wrong I get nasty emails, or the whole "don't like don't buy" crappy response. I believe that Code 3 and first response, or any other company out there vying for our limited dollars has an obligation to respond to this or any other board, when questions arise as to the timing, defects, quality, or any other issues we as consumers may have. It is also the obligation of any retailers that monitor these boards to pass said information on to the producers and either respond themselves or post an email address as to who they passed the information on to for follow-up.

Re: FIRST RESPONSE (Blank) Ford Crown Vic Moels

I have to say...I just received my first couple of 1941 Fords today and WOW! These are very nice looking cars with crystal clear graphics and flawless paint jobs (at least on mine). Now why couldn't the Crown Vic's turn out like these?? If you were on the fence about the 41's Fords due to the CV complaints, don't be anymore. These little gems of history are a welcome addition.

Re: FIRST RESPONSE (Blank) Ford Crown Vic Moels

Still waiting for my 41's to arrive. Thanks for the heads up Troy. I ordered a few of them, looks like keeping it simple with such things as non steering front wheels is the way to go. I don't like to agree with Chuck as he whines nearly as much as an ex wife, but the Crown Vic's finish is disapointing. Little things such as as getting some of the cars off their mounts is a work out in its self. Three of the cars I got the front wheels don't spin (take a lesson from their KIS principal on the 41's) The bag of parts is useless to me as I would not even attempt to drill the wheels off cars (I don't have the skill level or the patience) So I have reverted to un screwing the bases of the cars and swaping the wheels that way. Simple but expensive as you have to have two cars. I hope the Chargers are an improvement over the Vic's as $18.95 is a big investment.

First Response Chargers have got more expensive. $19.95 for the blank versions. They had want to be good.
