This guide covers 21 Greenlight models that are in stock now, from the A-Team van and the Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino to John Wick's Barracuda, a 1949 LAPD cruiser and a lineup of California lowriders.

Quick Navigation
Why Choose Greenlight Collectibles?
Greenlight's specialty is licensing. They hold licenses for movie and TV cars, real police and fire department liveries, and auction and brand partners like Barrett-Jackson. Their models feature accurate paint and markings, light bars and emergency equipment, and real rubber tires on most releases.
Most Greenlight 1:64 cars cost $14.99-$17.99, which makes it easy to build a big themed collection. The 1:43, 1:24 and 1:18 models add more detail and display presence.

Greenlight Collecting Strategy
Hollywood Collecting: Pick a franchise or era and build around it. For example, pair John Wick's Barracuda with the Ballerina GT350, or line up 1970s and 1980s TV cars like the Gran Torino and the A-Team van.
Emergency Services Theme: Collect by department, by era (the 1949 LAPD car next to a modern Interceptor) or by vehicle type.
Scale Considerations: 1:64 ($14.99-$17.99) is great for variety and small spaces. 1:43 ($30.99-$32.99) and 1:24 ($39.99) add detail. 1:18 ($84.99-$99.99) makes a centerpiece.
Series Collecting: Greenlight releases cars in numbered series (California Lowriders, Hot Pursuit, All Terrain). Collecting a full series makes a great display, and 6-car sets are often the easiest way to do it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Greenlight over other diecast brands?
Licensing. Greenlight covers movie and TV cars, real police and fire liveries, and partners like Barrett-Jackson that most brands don't, at prices that make big themed collections affordable.
Are Greenlight models good quality for the price?
Yes. Most releases have accurate tampos and paint, rubber tires and detailed interiors. The 1:18 Artisan Collection and Hollywood models add opening parts on some releases (like the A-Team van and '93 Bronco).
What scale should I collect?
Start with 1:64 if you want variety. Go 1:43 or 1:24 for more detail on a budget, and 1:18 for one or two showpieces.
Do Greenlight models appreciate in value?
Some exclusives and chase pieces sell for more after they sell out, but most standard releases don't. Buy Greenlight for enjoyment and display, not investment.
