GL had some sweet castings in the early days, but they seem to have taken a backseat to the Hitch & Tows and trucks. To be honest, I'm getting a bit burnt out on the Hitch & Tows...![]() ![]()

Sadly, GL has gone off in new, different directions from the days when these were made. I think the early GLs were much better detailed than today's releases. That said, it looks like their change in focus has been successful for them and they continue to pursue trailers and movie cars. |

I don't want movie cars. I do like the hitch and tow but like anything too much of a good thing is not a good thing. |

I agree here... You said it much better than I could... The movie cars they produce are not cars featured in the movies, like Vanishing Point, or Dirty Mary~Crazy Larry or even Smokey and the Bandit. Or even well known star cars like the Batmobile, or the Monkey Mobile, or Munsters Coach. They are cars that may make brief appearances in the movie or seen with the star of the movie behind the wheel for a brief moment. To me these aren't movie cars, but no more than a car sitting in the background of a scene as props. The one the released that confused me was this one: ![]() Why was this released in the GL Muscle series? I don't believe this was a standard Charger released by Dodge with that 440 stripe. I never seen another one. We all knew this was the Dirty Mary~Crazy Larry car. I am so very sorry to say this, but I think GL is reaching with the Hollywood series. They use any casting they have to capitalize on collectors. When did Forrest Gump drive a VW Beetle? ![]() He didn't... A hippie was seen in this VW for all of 3 seconds max, asking "Who want's to go to San Francisco?" How is this a movie/star car? It isn't in my book. GL's Hollywood series will never come close to JL's Hollywood star car series and it's very disappointing to me!!! How is this related to movies, except for the Trans AM with the wrong wheels? I never seen that car in a trailer being towed by a pickup!!! ![]() I do have to say here, GL did a fantastic job on this one. This is a real movie/star car!!! ![]() (I think I will post this as a topic as well) Edited by Stangfreak, Jan 8 2017, 09:35 AM.
