I love big wagons (as well as big sedans), and Greenlight replica of this very iconic car is quite good. It could have been even better, but it fills a gap, specially for 80's and 90's kids.
This model is in brick red color and cream roof, with beige interior, and the assorted caravan. Man, what a lovely trailer set. It will consume space to expose it but it worth it.
In this feature, we are going to take another look at this tooling. We are also going to look at one of the tooling variations as well as compare it to some other brands.
Some posts just spring into my head even before I have got the models in my hands. This was one of them. When Modelmatic restocked I jumped on this pair. They looked the bomb in pictures and they're even better when they're infront of you. First of all a little background on the Golf. Conceived …

The Durango is a well-executed tooling from Greenlight that debuted in 2019. The tooling has everything you would want from a premium 1/64 scale car including inserted headlights, metal body and base, and rubber tires. It was made so that Greenlight could put it out in different trim packages with grill and hood variations. Also, …

(Greenlight Vee-Dub on ebay) I seriously cannot believe that we are already on series 10 of Club Vee-Dub. I was really excited for the first VW series to come out (2015). I remember being worried about finding them because the only place to find them in my area was the sadly now closed Toys “R” …

Greenlight Black Bandit Series 22 (Find Greenlight Black Bandit on ebay) As usual with these series features I have been writing, I like to start with a bit of a back story. For this one, I wanted to find out about the origin of the series. The Black Bandit series has been a staple in …

My love for vans dates back to my teen years. Shortly after getting a guitar for Christmas when I was 14 years old I was starting bands and gigging anywhere in my town that hosted local music. Of course, any band needs a way to move gear and a van is the perfect type of …

In typical Greenlight Hollywood series fashion, some of the vehicles in this series are well known and some are obscure. At any rate, it is pretty cool that Greenlight does not just stick to the same TV/Movie cars that have already been done by other companies (e.g. Batmobiles). In the past, they have done vehicles …

Greenlight Estate Wagons Series 4 Some of us when we were kids were “lucky” enough to go on some family road trips. Some of us that went on family road trips got to ride in a nice big station wagon. If you fall somewhere around my age group or older you might have experienced some …

I’ve been marching to the beat of Greenlight’s drum since 2009, and in the years following, I’ve freed hundreds of cars from their blister prisons. Of course, once I was done admiring them, they were bagged and tagged and relegated to Rubbermaids in my detached garage.
Aaaaaaand here we go!!! Hello, my name is David Kiley. Some of you may know me as championdjk from YouTube. I am absolutely stoked to join the team of writers here at The Lamley Group. There is a lot of coolness coming to this blog and being a part of it makes me very happy. …
I don't show a lot of Greenlight here, not because I don't like it as many have asked, but because I don't collect a lot of them. I do collect these Foxbody Mustangs however. LBE Exclusives has collaborated with Greenlight for several 3-car Foxbody sets, all of which were made available at SURPLUSgoodies, a Lamley …

A feature is coming once I have these in hand, but I wanted to give Lamley Readers the heads up on these beforehand. SURPLUSgoodies has the new Midnight Drags set of 3 Mustangs in stock now, and they are fantastic: Greenlight Midnight Drags Mustangs at SURPLUSgoodies I showed prototypes of these a few months ago, …
Do I collect Greenlight? I get that question a lot. I guess my honest answer would be "Do you really care if I collect Greenlight or not?" But I get it. A few people read this blog and watch my channel, and a lot of you feel Greenlight needs a little more love. And I …

Hey look, a Greenlight post! Many of you have noticed the lack of Greenlight here on Lamley, and some of you have specific ideas as to why. I would love to indulge those theories, but the fact is I just haven't been that into Greenlight lately. I have never considered Lamley to be a review …

I mentioned last week that the hobby store SURPLUSgoodies has jumped on as a Lamley Partner, as a great provider for Auto World, Greenlight, and eventually Tarmac Works. They will have it all, including MiJo and Hobby Exclusives. So look for regular updates on new stock, just like I do with my other Lamley Partners. …
(UPDATE: It is now sold out.) Just a heads up that the special Greenlight/MiJo Exclusive BRE Nissan GT-R's signed by Peter Brock and John Morton are still available. There are only 46 available, so I assume there are not that many still for sale. But as of this moment they are. The link: 1/46 BRE …
