Greenlight Fire & Rescue Series 1

This entry was posted in GreenLight Uncategorized and tagged fire & rescue GreenLight on by

Greenlight Collectibles just released a brand new 1:64 scale series.  The Fire & Rescue Series 1 just dropped and this one features various service vehicles from different fire departments.  With it being a Fire AND Rescue series, there is room to branch out beyond just fire departments and maybe highlight some other rescue departments.  I think one of the things that has made the Greenlight Hot Pursuit Series such a hit is that they feature specific law enforcement departments from around the country and the new Fire & Rescue Series is carrying on that tradition by highlighting fire departments with this first release.  Series 1 features the following:  1986 Chevrolet C20 Custom Deluxe from the Lawrenceburg, Indiana Fire Department First Attack Unit with Fire Equipment, Hose, and Tank, 1992 Ford F-350 from East Brookfield, Massachusetts Forestry, 1987 Chevrolet M1008 4×4 from the Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota Fire Department, 1990 Jeep Cherokee from the Reno, Nevada Fire Department, 2017 Ram 3500 Dually from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and a 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility from the Chicago, Illinois Fire Department Battalion Chief.

The attention to detail on these is fantastic.  Check out the fire equipment in the bed of the Lawrenceburg 1986 Chevrolet C20.

I also did an unboxing video of this set so you can see each one and the card art.  There is always a chance, with Greenlight, that you might find a Green Machine chase as I did in the video.

If you are interested in getting your own, you can purchase them individually or by the case at Diecast Republic.

I’m gradually adding more diecast products to the Hallguide Price Guides and Greenlight Collectibles are one of the brands being included.  I’ve also done a few Greenlight reviews on the Hallsguide YouTube channel with more on the way.  One of my favorite Greenlight Series is the Toyko Torque Series and Release 9 in the series is coming soon.

If you are a JDM fan, this set has 3 different Datsun 510s, as well as some Nissans.

1970 Datsun 510 4-Door Sedan

1971 Datsun 510

1972 Datsun 510

1973 Nissan Patrol 60

2019 Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X

2019 Nissan 370Z – Heritage Edition

I love that Greenlight gives us so many options on their castings.  1 set with 3 different Datsun 510s is a win for JDM collectors.  Which vehicles from this set are a must have for you?

1:64 ‘Zine Machine will feature vehicles off the front cover of your favorite automobile magazines

Indianapolis, IN (September 20, 2011) As a die cast manufacturer known for their authentic replication, GreenLight Collectibles takes pride in being 100% true to scale as well as accurate in all details.  Making sure that these fine and foremost features translate into 1:64th scale relies on a superior knowledge and appreciation of automobiles.

“You have to be a car guy in this industry”, said Russell Hughes; President of GreenLight, “Without the passion for automobile history and proficiency in car specifications you will not be able to span the difference from toy to credible automotive enthusiast collectible.”  The GreenLight staff ensures that they stay up to date with car trends through news sources and more specifically – magazines.   “Car magazines give a variety of opinions, from the engineer to critic to consumer,” mentions Kevin Davey, Founder of GreenLight, “Offering enthusiasts a reference to obscure information builds an overall essential resource for car guys who crave cold hard facts.”

With automobile knowledge as the foundation of GreenLight, the company has created an entire product theme under the GreenLight Entertainment Line that highlights this importance.  ‘Zine Machines will include six cars that have graced the cover of our favorite car magazines throughout the years.
1:64 ‘Zine Machines Series 1 Assortment includes the following:

1964 Chevrolet Chevelle – Super Chevy (March 2009)

1968 Chevrolet Corvette – Hot Rod Magazine (October 1967)

1970 Dodge Challenger – Hot Rod Magazine (March 2011)

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am – MotorTrend (December 1978)

2006 Ford Shelby GT500 MotorTrend (May 2005)

2006 Dodge Charger SRT8 – Automobile Magazine (June 2005)

An extra set of licensing agreements had to be obtained for the ‘Zine Machines line-up.  Each magazine featured in Series 1 was pursued for the use of their title as well as the specific volume/issue.  The packaging for ‘Zine Machines will include an image of the actual magazine cover above the 1:64 replica of the featured automobile.

These 1:64 die-cast replicas feature detailed engines, real rubber tires, metal body and chassis, detailed graphics, production serialized numbering and are officially licensed by their respective auto manufacturers and Entertainment Titles. The release is scheduled for October/ November 2011 and will be available through official GreenLight official hobby shops and wholesale dealers, as well as at Toys R Us and Meijer.   For more information about GreenLight’s up-coming releases or the other quality collectibles from GreenLight, visit http://www.greenlightcollectibles.com.
