Hi Everett, was great working with John D. on his finkish character. I really loved the artwork he did on the roof.
We should have sneak peeks up soon of our new casting for 2011 and it’s that “woody” everyone ask about, should debut mid to late ’11.
November 26, 2010 at 12:43 pm
congratulations, wonderful view, comes to my collection.
just beautiful.
November 27, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Thank you Brazil!
November 26, 2010 at 3:24 pm

These Chrome Colors are Super Fantastic and I have to have these for my collection. That Black Gold is Wicked. Can’t wait to see what the Mystery looks like. Great job on the X-mas theme.
November 27, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Thanks Joel. you can never go wrong with ‘chrome’ deco’s. I think my the 2 that stands out for me is the ‘hot pink’ and ‘ice blue’. but then again….
November 27, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I live in Brazil and I buy the EVO, you guys deliver here, my zip code is 04276-000, São Paulo.

November 28, 2010 at 2:31 am
Just saw the pics of the mystery tires, and the factory shots of the pink and blue buses, WOW that finish is awesome, and a really nice touch with the tires.
I week today, WHOO HOO…….
THE WOODY, alright………I’m picturing a dark forest green and a dark royal blue over chrome, I love that finish, LOL.
November 28, 2010 at 6:44 pm

Thanks! If all goes accordingly, hope to make it to Sao Paulo in March Diecast show there…
November 29, 2010 at 11:11 am
Please change the body style to the “Nitro Bomb” Don’t you think a totally new style is pass due?
November 29, 2010 at 6:49 pm
There are many factors involved and it’s not as simple as you may think – one is $$$ among them, besides we had a new tooling with the Big Tow and will have a new casting in 2011. The GT Drag Bus is a favorite and best candidate for artwork, and that’s what I’m about more so, which is the artwork and deco’s that goes on them. Thanks.
November 29, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Dave – another excellent product! Looking forward to that chrome shine. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and get a black-chrome! The Mystery versions have been really nice – some of my favorites.
Glad to hear hints of a Woody next year! Got to cut back on starbucks so I have enough to afford these little treasures.
Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!
November 29, 2010 at 7:00 pm
lol, thanks. My Doc said to cut back on my caffeine, no prob- but I’m a fan of american Pepsi.

Hi Again Dave. You mentioned a new Casting in 2011, Does that mean your done with the Big Tow Casting? I hope not, I think they have more Potential. What say you Bud? P.S. Seasons Greetings From Canada!!
December 1, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Not at all Joel. The Big Tow will come out again but first we have other things coming up that are equally cool. I think the Big Tow is such a cool design and proud how our team put it together.
December 2, 2010 at 12:27 am
Dave….another great issue my friend. Now to check with my banker if I can afford them again

December 2, 2010 at 12:31 am
lol. Ted, I’m looking at them my first time right now! all I can say is WOW! Most of the time I’m there at the factory approving changes on the spot, saves time. But to see this in hand for the first time is really something.
December 3, 2010 at 1:55 am
Just saw the pics of the silver one with gold wheels, needless to say, that one is now my fave, LOLOL
December 3, 2010 at 4:18 am
When I look closer, that silver one, is actually the black gold, regardless, it’s still my fave.
Is it the 4th yet, LOL
December 4, 2010 at 12:10 pm
yes, it’s a lighter shade this time of the black chrome.. looks kinda like dark chocolate. lol
December 4, 2010 at 3:12 am
Dave I’m really impressed with what you’ve done with this release.
The red/green set is oh-so-perfect for the holiday season.
As for the pink/blue set…oh my…it is simply exquisite!

December 4, 2010 at 11:39 pm
Due to circumstances, I have stopped collecting die cast. I saw this and told Santa that I’ve been extra good this year, and that the Rat Fink artwork on this bus blew me away. I couldn’t pass it up! Very Kool!!!
