We would like to be able to make many more of these cars available, but to do so, we need continued support from the Mercury Marauder community. We’d like to ask if you would update the forum thread to indicate that this vehicle is now back up for pre-order subject to availability from the manufacturer (GreenLight). We have strong indication that more of these can be made available, but it will require a week or two before we have final confirmation. In the meantime, the more pre-orders we can obtain for this car, the more likely that DieCast Alley will be able to make these available to everyone. <o:p></o:p>

The one listed on the website is for the "hobby" release, you can get the "retail" versions for 3.99 at Meijers, K-Mart and Target. There is a slight variation in the packaging of the hobby and retail versions. FYI the quality is amazing on these cars I have over 40 Greenlight diecast cars :)

Go into Youtube and type in FHP Mercury Marauder or click on this link to see the car he built for me. Don't care for the music he put out there but, his choice. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=-oxE1qIqkMU . Also here is the guys link. www.po-light.com (http://www.po-light.com) It is a little pricy. 300.00 is what I paid. I had him add extra lights from his original design. It took him about 3 days to build. All diecast. He will customize as well with what you want. Very professional.

Target carries greenlight cars but if the Marauder will be available in a stand alone package is yet to be seen.

I just checked out more die-cast websites then any human should ever have too, and Im having zero luck with coming up with another Marauder pre-order deal.

Once the car is available then act fast because its not going to last with a limited supply run.

Good news is that someone in Ford had to give the OK to let a die-cast be produced so this may open the door for other companies to build one.

***SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. Orders are tentative until further confirmation is received from the manufacturer(GreenLight). We expect this confirmation by no later than Aug 29th. We will notify all purchasers with a confirmation as soon as we receive it. Your pre-order now will help us to ensure these are available in sufficient quantities.***

The Marauder diecast will be packaged individually, and will be marked at the bottom of the chassis showing its sequence number (for example: #555/xxxx)

Here is a example of the quality of the cars:

I contacted them a while back about making a 1:18 scale, they told me it would not be cost effective to make it. It is possible that this series will have another run in diffrent colors!

Diecast Scales


There are many types of diecast scales of model cars, trucks, trains, buses, motorcycles and more! diecast Scales start from 1:10 to 1:87 that’s a wide range of diecast scales to select from. I will try to list most of them, and explain a little about each diecast scales the best I can. Die-cast toys and models come in various diecast-scales, starting with the most popular ones:

* 1:12 diecast-scales – It’s a very large model, they are usually about 14 or 15 inches long, often targeted atadults who are into more serious collecting, and high detailed. These models they are usually much more expensive than the other models.
* 1:18 diecast-scales – This one is not as large as 1:12, but this a large model too, it’s usually about 7 or 8 inches long, adults look for this one more often. Motor Max: 1949 Buick Roadmaster Convertible 1:18 Scale Die-Cast Vehicle (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006N8Z12?ie=UTF8&tag=middlemancoll-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0006N8Z12)http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=middlemancoll-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0006N8Z12
* 1:24 diecast-scales – This is a very common size, which is sold in toy stores.
*1:43 diecast-scales – This diecast-scale is made popular by Dinky and Corgi, it’s quite popular with collectors.
*1:50 diecast-scales - This diecast-scales is more for trucks, buses, construction equipment, promotional models and military vehicles.
*1:60 diecast-scale - the diecast-scales of the immensely popular pre-war and post-war military vehicles series by Dinky Toys.
*1:64 diecast-scales – Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are nominally this size, as well as truck and tractor models - the same as the S scale model trains.
*1:72 diecast-scale - A growing scale for military die-cast Afvs.
*1:76 diecast-scales - highly detailed mainly British buses and Lorries such as those by EFE and Corgi OOC HO scale model trains.


If you want to give a friend a car for there collection, then you have to find out what particular style and type of car they collect. To ensure that he will like the car, check the various companies for the range of models they produce. In smaller diecast-scales some of the details are often eliminated. So, e.g. in 1:32, 1:48, or 1:43 diecast-scale cars, the steering and wheels generally do not work. Likewise, only the front doors and hood might be functional, with non-opening rear doors and trunk

Heres a example, In the picture is a matchbox crown vic next to a AA battery. On the bottom of the car it says its a 1:71 scale. So figure the Marauder will be slightly bigger then the typical matchbox/hot wheels car but not by much.

Still a lot of work to make it into a Marauder. :)

I just pulled the box out and the car came from MotorMax "Law Enforcement and Public Safety". Basically the car is a Crown Vic and he paints the corner marker lamps and headlights. Then he paints the seats on the inside in a two tone gray and black. Mine has the cobra emblem in the middle of the seat but if I had known I would have put in the Marauder emblem. I am very meticulous anyway and I thought he did a great job with the detail work. He even added the spoiler on the rear. He can personalize to what ever you want. I ordered mine on a Friday and had it by the following Friday. He said it takes about 3 days to build with lights and all.


What is the source of the die-cast model? I am sure he is not casting them himself. I found this: http://www.diecastblast.com/mmx2032.html
Still a lot of work to make it into a Marauder. :)

I just ordered my two. I wonder if this is the biggest/hottest selling item they have had in quite some time.

I also left the following in the comments section of the ordering process:



I am a member of MercuryMarauder.net and am very pleased we finally have a die-cast version of our full-size muscle cars.

If a 1:18 version was built, I can assure you that demand would be just as strong, if not greater from our community.

Thanks.


I urge each of you to send similar comments.

Column shift or tunnel shift?

Its made from a Crown vic so he glued a shifter on top of the police computer in the center of the seats. I had one and its a crappy replica. He used a pen for most of the detail and the oversize rims that he throws on look like crap. Not worth the $100 for a $30 die-cast.

CWright
08-23-2008, 09:41 AM
The one I got is a column shift and does have the glued shifter in the console. He could have cut the column shift out if I had known to ask. It is not the MM interior but he makes it look close. Considering no other company was making these at the time I thought it was a good job. I am pleased. He does do all the painting of headlights and sidemarker lamps by hand. So doing by hand would look similar but not like a replica specified in the MM by a professional company. The wheels do say SVT in the middle but are "similar" to the MM wheel. If you want the lights I would recommend this guy to put them in. Plus I like the 1/18 scale. I felt it was worth the money and he did a Great job on mine. Just depends on how detailed you want it to be. Looks good sitting on the shelf. Looks better when I light it up.:burnout:

Today I went to the local Toys R us and checked out some of the cars from Greenlight which is the company thats producing our Marauder. I have to say that if there was any diecast company out there to put a 1:64 scale Marauder out there, Im happy that its Greenlight. The detail even down to the badges on the cars are perfect, even the paint jobs are amazing for such a small car.
It made me more anxious to get my hands on one.

BTW, Toys R us is selling the greenlight cars with a custom mini shop tool for $3.99. I plan to raid the toys R us when the Marauder hits production and the public.

Hey guys, I am not a Marauder owner, but I cannot wait for this one either.

But, when it does happen, you will not be disapointed and don't be surprised if you see other colors come along. The charger casting has spawned Daytona, SRT-8s in verious colors, superbess,a nd police cars, speaking of police cars they also have an 09 Crown vic interceptor coming (check out www.greenlightcollectibles.com scroll to bottom and on the right cligh click on promos and it has pictures of the crown vics, though nothing on the Rauder yet. :(

They are only available now in the packaged set with the other cars ($24.99/set) and greenlight is telling them to expect the shipment in at the end of December or early January...so I ordered 2 instead of a bunch of single cars

What exactly were you guys expecting considering this is Matchbox/Hot Wheels size?

It's not going to be absolutely perfect at that size, a lot of the detail will be lost.

But be happy that someone's actually paying attention to the car long enough to actually merit the production of a diecast of it.

10-1 that's just a pre-production model anyway.

The development process for these cars is usually a few years. This looks like it could be a very late pre-production model...

Well, I placed my order 6 months ago. This kind of delay is ridiculous. If I had received one email communication from them on the status of my order, I'd be a happy camper, but I'm disappointed. Poor way to run a business.

I just checked the greenlight website and freaked out. They now have a comment stating that you must order the Marauder model with a set, no longer sold separately. I called them and the nice guy on the phone said that they were held up in customs and they should have them by late next week. If you have pre-ordered your car(s) then you are OK. All single car(s) are sold out. So if you did not per-order yours, you will have to plop 24 bucks for the muscle car set #9. I am glad I got my 2 bought 3 months ago!. This notice is good as of 02/12/2009.:banana:

I called and got the same answer.

You have to buy Set #9 of six diecasts to get the Marauder.
I asked why I can't buy the Marauder seperately and he said: It's ONLY available in the set now....

Anyone else know of a diecast Marauder manufacturer?...I don't feel like wasting money on 5 cars that I don't want.

We understand that a lot of other individuals like you are interested in purchasing the GreenLight 2004 Mercury Marauder in 1:64 scale. We understand that many of those requests come from a forum posting: </B><A href=http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...ad.php?t=46504 (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=46504)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
We would like to be able to make many more of these cars available, but to do so, we need continued support from the Mercury Marauder community. We’d like to ask if you would update the forum thread to indicate that this vehicle is now back up for pre-order subject to availability from the manufacturer (GreenLight). We have strong indication that more of these can be made available, but it will require a week or two before we have final confirmation. In the meantime, the more pre-orders we can obtain for this car, the more likely that DieCast Alley will be able to make these available to everyone. <o:p></o:p>

Again, we greatly appreciate your business!<o:p></o:p>

I did a backup order on Ebay from a guy in Idaho that was also selling them. I received an email today notifying me my order of 4 Greenlight 2004 Mercury Marauders had shipped. So Kevin of Die-cast alley ought to be shipping them soon as well. Rick

So people physically have individuals in their possession, but not yet through Diecast Alley. Why are these things getting stuck in customs? Are they filled with lead and asbestos and enriched uranium? :/

you are correct I got 2 for 5.99 and have seen others on e-bay twice and they keep going up I suspect these 2 that just showed up on e-bay the seller will probably let them ride till end of auction to see what they bring

The green MM is the green machine from greenlight. Similar to a tresure hunt for hotwheels or white lightning for Johnny Lightning. It is the low production collectable, but it reminds me of that puke green MM with the ghetto gods head on the hood :puke:
