randyc Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) The Dodge Neon and Olds Aurora were done as a promo at the time, by the same company. And didn't Polar Lights do the Holden GTO? I'll have to do some digging. But, I seem to remember buying one? I bought a full set of Brookfield Collector Guild Chryselr promos. a NEON challenge race car, a 4 dr Neon, a 2 dr Neon, A Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Cirrus, and a Viper GTS coupe. All curbside promos, but they were out there. I have a diecast body Chrysler LHS from Brookfiled as well. I could only afford one of the set at the time. I missed the first gen Aurora but they are still available on ebay. I sold the cloud cars to Faust on this board. I miss them, but they went to live with a better family. LOL. Brookfield was doing some contemporary cars, but I think they got bought by Action or someone to make more NASCAR stuff, which was huge at the time. Someone also mentioned the Cherokee - Tamiya (?) did a Grand Cherokee back in the day. Aoshima? did a nice Pathfinder and 4Runner as well with the tires that were sold as Satcos at that time. I think Satco was the Aoshima importer or something like that? I bought all of those as well. Just things that were out of the mainstream, plus I was into 4x4s at the time and hated the Monster truck kits. I put the Revellogram bass boat behind my 4Runner. Wouldn't it be nice to see a B-O-P version of the tri-5 chevies? Would break up the constant Edited October 26, 2017 by randyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 My son has a 1:1 later car with the hood scoops, had to go with a dicast version to get one for him, still a nice kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 My son has a 1:1 later car with the hood scoops, had to go with a dicast version to get one for him, still a nice kit.Do you mean the GTO, Greg? I noticed some of the versions were scoop cars and some weren't. Is that the difference? The scooped cars are die-cast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
