This forum is for collectors of emergency vehicle models to discuss any aspect of the industry. Feel free to post comments on current releases, future models, items for sale/trade, or items wanted.
So what are the most unexpected releases of all time? The models that nobody expected, nor necessarily knew they wanted.
Such as:
- Code 3's Diamond Plate Pierce Skywalker pumper
- Code 3's Chicago Squad Set
- Corgi's Mack Aerialscope tooling, when it first appeared after eons of ALF repaints
- Yat-Ming's classic GMC chemical wagon.
i personally think the chicago squads should be off that list. i know alot of people expected them sooner or later. and i like em. now skywalker diamond plate? what the hell did that come out for? i bought one and that is cause my loser brother loves star wars
To me, I would say the Corgi Rochester, NY ALF. It wasn't even close to anything we had, especially with that blue gum-ball on the roof. They can be had for 1/3 the original price, & I still won't buy one.
