Look at this blog post on the ZR1 diecast that Jada will be producing. This will surely be an instant best-seller for Jada. Their licensing dept. is getting more aggressive all the time. This is typically an exclusive that Maisto or Mattel would get. It's good to see that at least someone in the diecast business is healthy!

My first post! It took the possibility of a new ZR1 release to get me web surfing again - which is what directed me to this forum. I do hope that JADA will treat it a bit more "reality based" compared to their other products. I do admit , though that I would buy it either way. And I'll give JADA credit for one thing: You can actually FIND their product at STORES !! Not that I mind all the online places to buy from, but, I do enjoy walking into a Target or Walmart and seeing a new Vette sitting on the shelf, pick it up, check it out , kid in the candy shop style.

Yeah vetteman, nothing beats instant gratification. It remains to be seen how the 2009 Corvette ZR1 will be treated by Jada, but surely since they have the exclusive they won't need to "dub it out" too much. I only like Jada items that look like something that might really exist. Escalades sittin' on 'twenty-fo's' ain't cuttin' it for me!
