what's going on with M2 diecast cars??

[tubbs]

was wandering thru walmart last Saturday and I took a look at the 1/64 scale cars. there was a 1070 super bee...



see, it says "HEMI", but there is no hemi to be found. clearly a 440/383 motor.....

next to that.... a 1969 383 road runner, cool, a 383 car. there were 2 there, both of them had no birds anywhere on the cars. I have others that have the birds. next, there was a 383 in these, but one motor was solid black, absolutely no detail. the other one had detail, orange ring around the air cleaner representing the pie tin, but the motor was still black and just the oil cap on the valve covers was painted orange. if I am going to pay $7 for this, it better be more detailed than that. it looks like Wilson the dog painted it. we won't even talk about the outer appearance.

See, you found a super rare ,one of none Mopar. You should of bought it! Super rare! Probably gone now and on Ebay for big money!!!

I have over 300 M2 1/64th cars. I no longer buy them due to the quality and mis-labeled and mis-marked cars as you mentioned. Many of the diecast collectors I have come to know all complain about M2s and the poor quality of mis-fitting parts. Their quality control department stinks!!!
I will buy the DRivers series cars, but no more of the Auto~Thentics with the opening doors and hoods!!!



I always hated the huge door gaps in these cool cars!!!

I hear ya!! I don't buy nearly as many as you, but when I drop that kind of change, things should fit properly. and labeling... it used to be when you saw something mislabeled, it was rare, now its just constant mistakes,

Sadly it's gotten to the point where if you see one done right grab it, it's the rare one!
