Here's the deal: I'll pay a little extra to get REAL diecasts--I don't want plastic "toys"...I wish Circle B had offered them before along! You absolutely can feel the difference just by holding them in your hands. Now, it seems to me that all Action has done is repackage their releases from "NASCAR Authentics" to their boxes. I don't want those; since I consider myself a serious ADULT collector, it is virtually impossible to display the unopened "blister packs". My collection contains enough cars to make it to display ALL of them...There would be no viable way to show off my collection with the NASCAR Authentics packaging! It would be great if previous releases could be remade!
