View Full Version : MM model interest thread

I have been speaking with the sales/ marketing team at Motor Max about producing a scale diecast Mercury Marauder. So far, they have communicated they will need 6000 pieces to be purchased in order to begin production. These would be priced at $12-15 each and so far, would only be in black. I am unsure of scale right now, but for the price I'd go out on a limb and say 1:18. I need a fairly accurate number of how many units we can truly sell. I will make a simular thread on MCM and keep both threads updated. Once I figure out if we can pull this off or not, I will then look for funding and start taking pre-orders.
Here's the run down:
Blackened300a- 3
MM2004- 4?
Bruce Wayne- 1
ADE 1000- 2
Raudermaster- 3
Larryo340- 1

There was a thread way back about Maisto making some. I was one of the first people to e-mail them about making one. They sent me back one e-mail and that was it :(. I'll take 3 please. Talk to them about making a Trilogy powered one, or it would be nice to have a replica of Trilogy #1. I'd definately buy one of that.

A phrase that might have been overheard on a street corner near you.
if there 1/18th scale and good detail I would be interested in a case
It would be nice if it had opening doors hood and trunk, and not just a black paint job on the cop cars that are already out

I am unsure of scale right now, but for the price I'd go out on a limb and say 1:18.
The stated price of $12-15 seems pretty cheap for a 1:18 scale model diecast. The current rate at Maisto, Model Masters, Exoticcar, and others ranges from about $29.95 to $69.95. Of course, the higher the quality of the reproduction, the higher the price. Franklin Mint offers some excellent 1:24 scale at $120 each.
So, I am a just a little skeptical of what a $12-15 model would look like. Heck, my son was paying $19.95 for plain white 1:18 Crown Vics that he converted into custom police cruisers with all the local graphics, lightbars, and decals, etc.
I too vote for a mix of colors, if possible.

I want four. I will take them apart and paint them the four colors of stock Marauders.
The low price could be because your going right to the manufacturer, I've bought cases before and you usually get a real good deal that way
Drewstang
05-01-2007, 06:49 PM
Yes, the low price is coming directly from the manufacturer and not going through a retail store or any middle man. I'll keep you guys updated on colors when I hear something. I do not believe these will be just black painted P71's. I pointed out the specific differences in my emails. He pointed out that the sheetmetal is pretty much the same, and that the nly tooling costs would be mods to the body for the fog lights and rear bumper. The other items would be new castings (wheels, possibly interior tub, grille, etc.)
I'll edit my first post with a total count so we can all see how things are going.

05-01-2007, 07:07 PM
If they are any kind of decent quality--like something made by Action or the old Ertl models--they are going to cost forty or fifty bucks. And I'd be happy to pay that for a couple of well-made DTR Marauder models.
96DiamondVIII
05-01-2007, 07:14 PM
One if they only come in black. 2 if they make a silver...possibly up to 4 if they make all colors (depending on how much they end up costing!)
One black, or all 4 if all colors available.

Well, aparently if I don't check out every detail of what the other board is doing than I am underminding their efforts to raise fundage for the site and its owners. Just so you know, MI2QWK4U started a thread over there a few months back about the production of a MM diecast, but has not posted any updates in a while until he saw this thread and decided to vent. Also, they are charging $45 for thier "MCM" diecast. I guess $30 profit on every sale is reasonable.

AutoArt, in my opinion, makes some of the best diecast models on the planet. My father and I collect diecast models and both own several examples of their work. I have contacted them directly to inquire about a Mercury Marauder product. They did a run of 2001 Bullitt Mustangs in all three colors ... and there were only 5500 Bullitts made!!

They ain't $15.00 models though....
see this example:http://www.wildcollections.com/c=S9h9pnOuUC338lMIfyEbMucLE/category/auto_art_models.autoartpolice/
I thought the promise was a cheap nice exact marauder model... and that those "other guy's" on the other site were trying to rip people off with a higher priced model.
No this just would not do at all!

I smoked the headlights, painted the engine compartment, switched the wheels and made the front Mach 1 and rear Marauder spoilers.
A MotorMax Marauder is completely doable!

Are we still actively talking to production companies???
Otherwise, why are we still doing this. Like putting someone in a round room and telling them to find a corner.......

Sorry, I can't seem to get my camera to work very well up close so an up-close picture isn't possible right now.
Both of the spoilers were made from foam. After I finished the final/installed version, I noticed that I still need to do some fine trimming. To much of a point across the rear and not rounded enough at the ends.

Your camera can't focus that close. Stand further back and use a larger resolution setting, then crop and resize the picture. That will work.

I was looking pretty hard at his pics... this could be done by us.. dunno about the working lights. The seats and wheels are from the SVT Cobra, the spoilers are prob from one of the mustangs as well. The logo he could have borrowed from a merc. vehicle or he could have painted it himself... it is all def. doable if you have the time... just gotta find the crown vic plat form model to start with.

Go to policecarmodels.com for 1/18 blank crown vicks to start. I have done Phila PD Patrol cars for myself and others. I also took one and did my own conversion in silver birch. I had it on display during MVV. It took time it's not perfect but its is close.

I have been speaking with the sales/ marketing team at Motor Max about producing a scale diecast Mercury Marauder. So far, they have communicated they will need 6000 pieces to be purchased in order to begin production. These would be priced at $12-15 each and so far, would only be in black. I am unsure of scale right now, but for the price I'd go out on a limb and say 1:18. I need a fairly accurate number of how many units we can truly sell. I will make a simular thread on MCM and keep both threads updated. Once I figure out if we can pull this off or not, I will then look for funding and start taking pre-orders.
Here's the run down:
Blackened300a- 3
MM2004- 4?
Bruce Wayne- 1
ADE 1000- 2
Raudermaster- 3
Larryo340- 1
silcilianmarquis- 1
Zack- 4
Killjoy- 2
PSG- 6-12 depending on case size
Silver2004Marauder- 4
Billzstangin66- 1
96DiamondVIII- 2-4 depending on color
Mike- 1-4 depending on color
1stmerc- 1-4 depending on color
Phastphil- 2-5 depending on color
Lord Vader- 1-4 depending on color
Fairlane347- 1-4 depending on color
Duhtroll- 4
AZMarauder- 4
ctrlraven- 4-5 depending on color
Crouse- 2
1of328- 5
Jolly Roger- 2
John Velazquez- 1
High-C- 2
Local Boy- 1
Total so far: 64-91 depending on colors.

I'd gladly buy at least two, but we're a couple of exponents out of range with the current tally. Would they not build it knowing that they would have a couple hundred sold right here, and then market the rest the way that they market any other model? Surely there would be orders from dealers, no? With this kind of interest, you'd think they would want to simply add this unit to their standard line-up.
