I'm thinking (giving credit where it is due) that LC has put out some nice product, but are they really improved? I will even go so far as to say that they might be figuring one or two things out along the way, Lightning Rods and Road Trip sets showing promise of thought. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the line is getting some favorable PR, but aside from upgrading the packaging, it's the same cars PM molded...or am I missing something here

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
|
Except for the Oldsmobile, all of them are PM era castings (the Mustang was a transitional- planned in the PM era, finished in the RC2 era). The blue Camaro is the oldest of the bunch and not surprisingly, is the only one the author was critical of. |
