...if Code 3 is going to start releasing more NY/NJ Port Authority pieces, they could really please a bunch of people by pairing with Boley and releasing a PAPD version of Boley's 1:48 Oshkosh Striker. Looks like a perfect match: http://www.fdnytrucks.com/images...

Code 3 Rescue 2 Questions

Got mine today. Nice, though I have a couple obvious questions: The "2" logo on the driver's side is tilted to the right. The rest of the "2" logos also have the same tilt? Is it a safe assumption that that's the lettering / logo style? The cabinets on the insi...

NMMM Corgi Maxim Observation

While I'm riding the nit-picking train, let me make this observation: does anyone else think that the fabulous NMMM Corgi Maxim has a... squashed look sort of? Like the rear is higher than the front, but there's a dip between the cab and the engine? (Heh, an...

Franklin mint

Is Franklin mint going to produce anymore semi modern pieces?? I would like to see a topless Seagrave tiller with a canvas top if you wish to put it on. An E-One Bronto Lift would be cool too.

You know what's interesting?

You know what's interesting? The sea change of toolings that we've experienced in the last, say, 12 or 18 months. If you collect classic American apparatus, Corgi has suddenly improved its quality two- or three-fold with the NMMM releases. If you collect large...

You know what's puzzling?

You know what's puzzling? That Mattel, which reuses Hot Wheels toolings ALL the time, has never reissued that great Oshkosh crash truck tooling in a Collectibles or Premiere format. Seems it would be an instant hit. And I don't buy licensing as the issue, as that...
