    1. children
    2. families
    3. picnic tables
    4. barbecues
    5. lawn chairs
    6. camping equipment
    7. tents
    8. seated drivers for convertibles
    9. extra hitches made out of diecast that can be used for replacements on castings for broken hitches
    or as replacements for ones that have not been installed properly on some diecast vehicles
    The present hitches made by Greenlight are very fragile
    Some of the first GL trucks that I bought had broken hitches and some later ones had hitches that were twisted and/or distorted
    10. some kind of decent tire rack for spare tires (two tiers that could hold at least four tires in each tier) for display purposes.

    Note that we have garages and work shops plus many kinds of trailers that could use some accessories for display purposes.

    Cheers. Cobra

        Amen on accessories. I'll vote for that. So much could be included....

        1) oil drums of various sizes
        2) cases of oil, antifreeze, and other chemicals
        3) pallets
        4) accessory 'packs' with or without a trailer
        a) moving day - furniture, etc
        b) landscaping - mower, edger, trash can, etc
        5) Car Show - items similar to the camping accessories, but stuff like a canopy could be brand specific
        6) car wash pack - people and car wash supplies, buckets, hose.
        a) professional car wash
        b) high school car wash
        7) people, people, people
        a) civilians
        b) emergency - police, fire, paramedic
        c) civil servants - city workers, road crews

        I could go on & on....

        Besides GL, there is American Diorama that has just gotten into 1/64 figures. They have a whole line of 1/18 people (and I think 1/24) that they could probably easily scale down to 1/64
        I collect what I like, and I like what I collect.

            I second that, webstang!!!! The '77 is already in the line as you know, so minimal changes would need to make it the Colonial Gold Esprit. I'd also like to see the existing '65 Continental Convertible as the Douglas' original car on "Green Acres". And while on the subject of Hollywood, more "I Dream of Jeannie" Pontiacs and "Bewitched" Chevrolets, as well as Steve Douglas' Pontiac Safari wagons. And I am curious if the James Bond Franchise will have some film tie-ins in the Greenlight Line. Probably too late at the moment as the next film is released in April 2020. JL is probably better equipped fro that.

              We have weekend workshops (without roofs), police command centres, and service stations (with partial roofs).
              How about small houses with windows, front door, and ROOFS.
              The front view would be the important part.
              How about an opening double door garage (with roof) that could be attached to the small house (Greenlight can pick which side).
              With a garage pack, various kinds of accessories could be added and changed with different releases.
              We do need new and different people figures.
              Greenlight is making a lot of nice stuff.
              Expanding on this success could prove beneficial to the company.
              So Greenlight staff, please think about our suggestions here.

              Cheers. Cobra

                  Here's a few oddballs I'd like to see:


                  Late 80's to early 90's Indycars, like the Penske PC20 or the Lola T90/00 series. This was the true Golden era of Indycar, and there's simply no decent models at this scale. Not a single one. Minichamps has an oversized, disproportionate Lola T93/00, and JL has a generic 92 Indycar that looks very little like an actual Indycar, and that's about it.

                  Early 90's NASCAR. Same as above, except there are a few nice models of early 90's Luminas and Thunderbirds in 1/64 scale from Racing Champions and Revell. They're pretty outdated, though, I'd love to see a modern take on these cars

                  Mid 90's everyday beaters. Mid Size sedans like the Lumina, Taurus and Intrepid, smaller economy cars like Corollas and Civics, you know, stuff along these lines. Never been done in small scale, mostly because they probably wouldn't sell, but who knows, I'd buy them is just for scene and diorama making purposes

                  70's and 80's trucks and big rigs. Also not usually done in small scale, these would be a great complement to the HD and SD truck lines

                    Very late to the game here, but:

                    - 1961 Bel Air (not every ‘61 Chevy has to be an Impala)
                    - 1969 Pontiac Catalina sedan (family car from 1972-1981)
                    - 1974 Ford Pinto wagon
                    - 1975 full size Ford/Mercury
                    - 1975 Chevrolet Nova
                    - 1976 Dodge Aspen
                    - 1978 Ford Fairmont
                    - 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme
                    - 1981 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, especially in that light yellow that lots of Cadillacs have
                    - 1981 Datsun 810 (started the whole Maxima line)
                    - 1982 Olds Cutlass Ciera
                    - 1982 Plymouth Reliant (or any Chrysler K-Car)
                    - 1983 Olds full size Custom Cruiser wagon
                    - 1983 Chevrolet Celebrity
                    - 1984 Toyota Celica
                    - 1984 Lincoln Town Car

                    Would it be too much to get the mid 70s Ford LTD/Mercury Marquis?

                        5th gen Ram! Both 1500 and heavy duty versions. Of course this would be mainly fit the Dually Drivers line so a dually bed is a must, but also an 8’ bed that isn’t a dually would be awesome, in addition to the usual 6’ bed. It would also be great if the 1500 casting were a crew cab 5’ bed instead of the 4th gen crew cab 6’ bed we have now. All that really needs to change from the current 4th gen tooling is everything in front of the front doors and windshield, and a different tampo for the tail lights.

                          The fuselage cars should definitely get a spot next year. They looked awesome, but had serious quality control issues. Should GL make those, they shouldn’t replicate the same QC shortcomings of the real car.

                            These aren't Mopars, but they catch people’s eyes.

                            Not in a good way, though.
