In it's entirety: Greenlight Muscle Series 9...

We are still new to the Greenlight game, but there are a few things we are starting to figure out.

First, these models are very high quality, but can be a little hit-and-miss in the assembly department. For those of you that don't open them, they will continue to look fantastic in the package. For those who do, you know what we are talking about. Sometimes a tire isn't on straight and is slightly stretched, making it difficult to put back on, or the axles are a bit bent.

Second, Greenlight knows how to make wheels. The detail in each wheel is superb.

Last, Greenlight is far better at doing classic muscle than current cars. The proportions and detail of the bodies and wheels of the classic cars is spot on, and tight. On the current cars like the Camaro and Mustang, the wheels look too bulky, and the stance too high. But it doesn't bother us here too much, as we would much rather collect the classic cars.

Those are our detailed thoughts. Our general thoughts? We are so glad to have these and to be covering them here at Lamley. We need more muscle here. Yes, JDM is our first love, but that has never come at the expense of cool muscle cars. And Greenlight does them right. We see a lot more posts combining these with other brands like the Tomica Limited Vintage, Auto World, and Kyosho. It should be fun.

So today is a practice run. GL Muscle Series 10 just came out

, and in fact arrived today from Wheel Collectors. We will photograph it this weekend and post the entire batch in a post. Before we do that, here is Series 9. It has been out awhile, but we have only had it a few days.

We are glad we have it, because we have wanted sharp examples of the Pontiac GTO Judge and Dodge Charger Daytona, and now we have them. You will probably see that both of those, along with the Mustang Boss 429, COPO Chevelle, and '69 Charger, look fantastic, especially compared to the rough-at-the-edges 2011 Shelby GT500.

So here is Series 9, starting with that grey GTO we are so happy to have.
