Fashionably late to the 2024 Case G party though in all honesty thats due to not hunting for fresh batches as rabidly as previous years and the sheer amount of competitor collectors who have exploded in numbers since Covid.
I was able to find a small handful of new releases from this mix in a Smyths Toys recently including this new red 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible, in my opinion one of their best C3 castings. Lovely and stock and not weighed down with tacky loud graphics, just clean lines and of course featuring its glowing headlights courtesy of a mirror on the baseplate you shine a light through.
Mint and boxed.
