I was really hot on tracking down the 1/24th scale Johnnys back in the day. These were very hard to find as I remember.. I also remember a hobby shop selling them for $12.88 each, and a local off the wall retail store (no longer in business) like Walmart selling them for $10.67 each. These cars were of very, very good quality being all diecast bodies and chassis. Detail was extremely good as well. I compare the ones I did collect to today's M2 and GL 1/24ths and have come to a conclusion. Although some of today's 1/24th diecast cars and a slightly more detailed, the quality of the cars themselves don't rate. The plastic chassis can not support the weight of the diecast bodies unless they are straight, thick axles front and rear, therefor, every M2, GL, and Shelby Collectibles brand I have collected have all developed a terrible case of the "SAGGIES" with the wheels. They seem to stick out farther at the bottoms of the tires and wheels than they do at the top. And these newer cars are selling for an average of $25.00 each!!!
Bring back the Johnnys with the diecast chassis!!!
