Rob Hall Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Interesting...so GMP is merging w/ Greenlight or vice versa? I have some GMP racing cars, they are very nice...and Greenlight 1/64th diecast are excellent--got a ton of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I thought GMP already went under, and a few of its executives formed ACME? Or am I thinking of something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 never heard of ACME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If there was a link there it didn't go anywhere for my computer? I did buy the ACME '32 ford coupe a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 AHHH! thanks Robert. If only Matrix would do some of their 1/43 in 1/24 or 1/18 ! A Tatra! Covette Corvair! Mustang station wagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed1 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Cant wait to see whats in store!! I sure hope wheel/tire sets and accessory packs will be available separately to purchase. Drag Packs or Road Race packs with assorted parts would be killer. Maybe just maybe this will give Hwy61 the kick in the pants they need to get back to 1/18 diecast!!

Danno Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Wow, Mike!! That . . . looks . . . familiar!!!! And, they got the roof right. You won't have to get a MasterCaster body for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well, it may not be a notch, but I think I have to have one anyway. (big surprise) They have also said that they would release a 1991 FBI pursuit Mustang. We'll have to see what that one looks like. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The70judgeman Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Didn't they start out as Peach State Die-cast...or something like that. I have a 1/18th '87 Buick Grand National by them. It's relatively simple, but a nice model. Then they changed to GMP(Georgia Marketing). I have about 15 GTO's. Much better models. And now, they're ACME and still making die-casts...Chevelle's, GTO's, Olds Cutlass, and others. Same quality as when GMP, but a slight price jump which didn't seem to back off any buyers as some of the offerings of late are sold out.

Maindrian Pace Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 GMP had major money problems, lost their offices in Georgia, and had the Chinese repossess their tooling. Not a happy thing, especially since they were coming out with one great model after another, so we all thought that they were doing well. They went out of business several years ago, and the tooling remained in limbo until Greenlight bought the rights to the name, and apparently, an unknown quantity of the tooling as well. So we will be seeing modified reissues in new colors etc, but it will be interesting to see if/what new cars are introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sure would like to see those 1/24 10 spoke 1967-68 Shelby wheels come back! I have a set, but would love to get a couple more for future projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Came yesterday from Greenlight/GMP. Very nice. They eliminated the retracting seat belt feature, and the 1/4 windows have the black painted on the outside instead of the inside, but all other GMP features are there. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
