Of course I'm a big LE diecast fan, and the collection just keeps getting bigger, and better. Soon it will be time for another Law Enforcement Vehicle Show...

Here a few new ones on the 1stPix streets and highways....

Nice new additions! I'm guessing the Impala and the pair of Tahoes are the new Jada castings? I haven't seen them yet.

Yes, and come to think of it Craftymore started a thread about these awhile back, and I posted a few shots... Dean-o-mite posted a bunch of good comparison shots which give you a much better idea of how BIG these are. i don't know how to link threads- but it is titled: "New Jada Police Series"

The tahoes are BIG, but fit in well with my 1/50 stuff. personally, i think the chargers and CVPIs are kind of sloppy, and the impalas are HUGE, they dwarf the 1/50 scale vehicles. I know these are technically intended to be toys- like most diecast... but of course i wish they were done a little better (like mounting the lightbars over the B post) because even though they are way too big for 1/64 land... they have a lot of potential.

They say the mind is the first thing to go... but now I don't remember who said that.

GreenLights are true 1/64 scale where as Hot Wheels, Matchbox, JL, and Jada re all 'fit the blister' scale. Jadas blisters just tend to be bigger than the other companies' blisterpacks. ;)

Swifty's right, and check out Craftymore's "new jada police series" thread- there are a lot of comparison shots posted.

they only look appropriate in my pix because i used oversized (too big) JL, MBX, ertl, etc. and 1/50 scale trucks for the shots...
