    maybe he was thinking about the bobcat? in that small scale it could pass almost as a maverick. untill you read the box, it fooled me on first glance first time i see one

    Or maybe, someone is thinking the hotwheel sized ones are HO, hey anyone notice that though that though the scale is supposed to be the same the mustang looks slighlty smaller than the Mav?

    the mavericks look a little disproportionate anyway, compare a FC to a JL and youll see what i mean, something about the roof line. i think FC was just trying to make them all the same basic size, not necessarly to scale with one another. its not like all the other die-cast makers arnt guilty of this either.

    Thats great! But how soon is soon? Hopefully they will actually be coming out this time and not just another false alarm.
