    Anyone seen these? they are the larger size die cast,

    I was at GettoMart last weekend ( looking for Mav Fresh Cherries, and accross the Isle I spotted Fresh Cherries only they are 1/20? or 1/24th scale, can't remem,ber which. Only catch the only ones they had were a Blue Gremlin and a
    Green Pinto , I bought both jsut for the heck of it, and there are still more.

    On the box it shows only the info on these 2 cars so not sure if they make a Mav or Comet or anything else for that matter. Has anyone seen these?

    The have excellent detail though the Pinto says a '74 but clearly the bumper is an earlier 70's design. they have opeing hoods and Doors and Steering

    I was at our Walmart today and they still don't have any Mavericks of any size, but they are now have a large pair of Fresh Cherries remote control Pinto's and AMC Pacers. I didn't catch the actual size of them, but they pretty nice cars. Too bad they don't have a RC Maverick.:( That would be a blast to play with.:) Yep. Still a kid a heart.:dance:

    My Wal-Mart finally got them .... I already had Yellow and Red thanks to my Mom bringing them down from NY ...

    They had 3 of each color ... as well as Mustangs and Pinto's. I picked up a white one to complete my collection and my son wanted a yellow and white one for his collection.

    I just noticed on the included card they mention Grabbers, Sprints and Stallions ... perhaps they will release them with those color schemes as well ...

    They may have been radio control. I honestly didn't get a really good look at them. It must have been kids day at Walmart and there was a whole bunch of kids checking them out. I think they were on sale for $19.99 or something close to that.

    I'll have to watch for those all I have seen are the larger Die cast. No Mavs though.
