I noticed I get some really good greenlights and then sometimes I get errors were the axles are bent or trim is missing. I really hope qc improves. Very good video and nice corvette 😎
@@watchtrainsnow1099 I agree 😎 I recently got the Ford Taurus from the vintage car ads series 8 and the first one I got had a stuck wheel. Luckily my second one had no imperfections. Grreetings from Ireland 😎🇮🇪
@@watchtrainsnow1099 I agree, I have moved on to xcartoys, model 596 and other brands. Greenlight do good models but they have to many faults, have a good day 😎
@@watchtrainsnow1099 When I see noticable errors on greenlights, I sometimes just customize the casting itself with a paint color and tires of my choice. What I like about Greenlight is they have a huge catalog of 1/64 premium trucks, more than any other brands outside of hotwheels/matchbox. They even have SD and HD trucks that scale very close with normal 1/64 vehicles rather than being downscaled.
I don't do 1:64, but I've got 3 greenlight 1:18 & they're the only ones in my collection that wheels don't turn nor the doors or hoods open. Cheap af if you ask me. How Ertl did it for 50 years for $30 is beyond me...
I bought the greenlight US Fish and Wildlife RAM 3500, and I believe it came missing the left mirror. Unless I happen to lose it right out of the box, but still, it's not good if it comes loose right away. I didn't really look at it that well when it was still in the box, so I don't remember if the mirror was in there or not. I wish they at least made replacement parts for things like that.
It feels like you have to buy two or maybe three. You look at all of them, and you keep the best one. For the price they are asking, I’ll buy auto world or hot wheels/matchbox.
@Watchtrains Now It seems like you don't collect fire apparatus (I don't either, at least not yet), but do you know anything about the quality of Code 3 Collectibles? For the price one of them costs if better be great.
i remembered once when i bought a greenlight FHP Dodge Charger. and when i opened it, i was really shocked to see that the whole left window was missing. but even with this flaw, i still like greenlight
@@watchtrainsnow1099 i personally find hot wheels to be too unrealistic and fictional. brands like greenlight and matchbox focus more on realism, so that's why i like them
My dad and i bought my first Greenlight a year ago, its a Mustang 2011 from the movie Drive and we noticed that the BRAND NEW car was full of fingerprints, unknown stains and even some hair, pretty dissapointing having in mind we bought an '83 Ford Ranger XL from Johnny Lighting and it came baby smooth.
@@watchtrainsnow1099 i know but the store couldn't do anything about it since it wasn't their fault and we already got it opened so changing it wasn't an option either, too bad we weren't expecting such a poor display from the brand, but due to my love of the movie i got it cleaned up and its looking nice even though the interior is full of plastic excess so yeah don't buy Greenlight unless you can check the condition in person. :(
The Tor Red looks like Hemi Orange with your lighting. At sundown, the Hemi Orange and Torred look almost the same. When the sun is going down it has this red burst that projects right into the Orange giving it a red look.
My favorite is Hemi Orange. My 2009 Charger SRT Superbee is Hemi Orange Pearl, made in Brampton. I have enjoyed Dodge bringing back these retro colors for the Charger and Challenger. They are commonly known as "Skittles" Thank you for the video.
I have a 14 Plum Crazy Challenger R/T Classic I bought new. Its been nothing but junk from the day I brought it home. Less than 40k miles it had heads. I should have junked it under CA Lemon Law because it is overqualified.
Dodge and Plymouth both used different names for the same colors, however, they shared the same paint codes and isn’t uncommon for a paint color name from one motor division to incorrectly identify another motor division’s color name, as often car enthusiasts refer to the color of a Plymouth ‘Cuda as “Hemi Orange” when technically that was a name Dodge used. Some of the most vibrant impact colors include: Plum Crazy In 1970 and 1971, Dodge labeled its regal purple paint color Plum Crazy while Plymouth used In Violet. It isn’t uncommon to hear car show folk refer to this color as Plum Crazy, regardless if it’s on a Charger or a Road Runner. Hemi Orange The Hemi Orange at Dodge or Tor Red at Plymouth was available from 1969 through 1972. Both Dodge and Plymouth eventually came to a consensus by using the term “Hemi Orange” to identify the color. Bahama Yellow From 1969 to 1971, a vibrant yellow was part of the Mopar color palette. Dodge called it Butterscotch while Plymouth named it Bahama Yellow. Go Mango In 1969 and 1970, a stunning EK2 orange paint color was available in two fruit-inspired names: Go-Mango at Dodge and Vitamin C at Plymouth. Sublime Green Dodge’s Sublime Green and Plymouth’s Limelight was a toxic yellow-green color available exclusively in 1970. It was one of the most radical and flamboyant High Impact colors ever offered. Pink Panther One of the most vivid and polarizing Mopar colors ever was the Pink FM3 paint code available in the spring of 1970 and as a special-order option in 1971. At the time, some dealers repainted their cars because they didn’t think Pink would sell. Dodge named it Pink Panther, as a take on Peter Sellers’ 1963 Pink Panther movie. Plymouth opted for Moulin Rouge, referring to the infamous cabaret in Paris, France. Other High Impact colors include: Top Banana in Dodge -- Lemon Twist in Plymouth; Citron Yella in Dodge -- Curious Yellow in Plymouth; Green Go in Dodge -- Sassy Grass Green in Plymouth; Bright Green in Dodge - Rallye Green in Plymouth. Retro colors, flake and original as well as recent paint artistry, the display brings the visitor back in time to psychedelic paintjobs.
@watchtrainsnow1099 A modern Dodge has Green with Envy. It was a darker green with metallic. There was another Orange that was more copper with metallic. Both were around 2011 or 2012.
Yes, I have a few that are perfect. But you have to buy 2 or 3 to get there. The caddy had flaws on the side that was hidden. If you buy it in a store, you have not even a small chance of catching that. If you buy online, you are playing Russian roulette.
@@watchtrainsnow1099 I’m from Europe and I can only get them online so I can’t inspect models before buying. I got so many faulty cars that I decided to stop buying Greenlight for good. Theres Auto World and Mini GT also starting to release American models (Shelby, Lincoln) so I’m not missing Greenlight at all.
Mini GT, which has better detailing than Greenlight, and Matchbox I modify many of these 1/64 line into electric slot racers, and yes many of these cars are much better looking on the track. I rather use die-cast than plastic on my collection of slot racing.✨👍🏻
Had a Plymouth Barracuda 440 with Holley 6 pack for a couple of years in the UK(imported 1972) in what I thought was called canary yellow, probably wasn’t though. Fantastic beast of a car!👍🇦🇺🇬🇧😎
I haven given up on Greenlight and M2. Quality control is way too bad for models that cost so much. I've had ones with paint defects, loose or misaligned bumpers and bent axles. No sense to reward them for their bad products with more money on the hopes of getting a 'good' one.
There's no doubt Greenlight have QC issues and the thing is - they do a lot of automobiles other manufacturers with better QC such as MiniGt, Inno, Tarmac don't do. There is Autoworld except I don't think their QC is any better. If you wanna collect American, Greenlight is your only option. Sure there is Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning and I guess Matchbox except they're not always true to scale. I looked at the Hot Wheels Dodge Charger and it's more like 1/66 than 1/64. Is this their way of cutting cost by making a smaller model. That's disappointing for what is supposed to be a modern casting.
@@69gmc250 No this is Greenlights fault. All the sellers and shippers aren't doing anything for the most part. You go to the store and they still come up damaged almost as bad as M2s. Why you antagonize the guy I don't know why, but you aren't solving anything by doing so.
Most of the greenlight junk ive bought lately for my grandsons arrives pre broken. Mirrors broken, bumpers, sometimes wheels and tires are bad. Paint usually flawed. No more. M2 way better
Greenlight is a good company, they’re cars aren’t perfect like all diecast cars, but they’re excellent in comparison to the other big brands (Mattel,Maisto, etc)
@@watchtrainsnow1099 I’d be fine with it because those cars (Cadillacs) weren’t show cars. They were more classy cars that were still designed to be driven. It’s not a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. GM isn’t all that special. I’d be fine with it.
@@Mrcool-gm7bxThat makes no sense. A car model is a model. If some brand has QC, then why should you buy it regardless of what it is. Autoworld and Johnny Lightning beats these cars in QC.
Greenlight was bought and they have a new ceo/president whos really doing a good job! Id give greenlight another shot
I might, but if I get another car with crazy glue on the paint, I’m making another video like this.
@@watchtrainsnow1099 I hope you like what you end up grabbing! Looking forward to it. Appreciate the videos
