Punctuation is your friend...
But seriously, Take your time and proof-read what you write, It makes posts much easier to read.

The Die-cast cars do sound good though.

It's not Ford that bring them out.
These are done by Classic Carlectables. This set has actually been available for a few months now.
All of last years cars have been late being released for some reason.

The Lowdes and Whincup 1-18 cars were only released in late early February as were most of the otherV8 supercar ones.

And also, If this is the set that im thinking of it is by Classic carlectables and is 1/43 scale. It comes out in the 3rd quarter of this year.

And this is the pic of what it comes in.

Just browse Ebay. They should be out very soon.
1/18th scale V8 supercars usually go around the $175 mark.
1/43rd scale are about $50

If you want to look at some of the other forum members model collections and mine they are at this thread
