I just received a seven piece Matchbox-size GM Concept car set that included the original 2002 Sky concept car painted that god-awful blue that GM rolled it out in.
It'll make a cool before-and-after display when the larger 2007 die-cast becomes available.
Surprisingly, the set also included the Solstice Concept car, which I didn't know was introduced as a coupe!:thumbs:

Where did you get the set? It sounds like something worth having!
TIA
:cheers:

Go to:

3000toys.com

Search for Saturn Sky ... $10 for the set, plus freight.

As a collector of other stuff, this seems almost too nice a set to break up ... or as my wife says, "Take your little toy to the office, and give the kids the rest of the set to play with. Women!

Thanks!
Thankfully, for me, my wife understands that I'm still a "kid".

Saturn Model

Tomtimechr:

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered the set to get the "before" Sky model. I am looking forward to finding a model of the current Sky, hopefully of a Red Line. Preference would be in the Silverpearl R/L that I have on order.

The new model will be part of my "car shrine." My wife understands "boys and their toys." A year ago I started searching for a toy model of every car I have ever owned. Have all but one! The collection starts with a 1949 Ford Coupe up to the latest (before ordering the Sky) - a 2006 BMW 530 xi, Sports Wagon (4 WD and handles like a sports car)! The center of my toy collection of owned cars is a case with the James Bond cars - BMW Z3, BMW 750, and the BMW Z8 (which I still own). I have found a die cast of the Solstice but no up-to-date Sky model yet. Anyone have a lead? :thumbs:

Is it just me or does the Sky concept in that set look like a Chrysler sebring convertable?

 

[KappaMan]

Yeah, but that poll reminds me of the Chevy Nomad concept and how much I wish it'd go into production.

If that was the style now, they would have sold one less car........:lol:

Believe me, it'd be a lot more than one less! Be happy that pic only shows the side!

 

[Robotech]

Oh GM would have still sold me a car...


...but it would have had an Arrowhead on it...not a planet.
