Very nice, I wonder if they have a Challenger in the works as well. I did a little poking around the site but couldn't find one.

Tower Hobbies is based out of Champaign IL, but their business is primarily mail order (always has been). www.towerhobbies.com

EDIT

The URL for their plastic model web site is: www.plastic-models.com/

I forgot that their main site is all R/C.

Looks like Tower's die cast site (www.die-cast-models.com/) has the Jada (Dub City) concept cars listed as well.

It's awesome that alot of diecast company's are producing the new Camaro concept. I hope that it will eventually be made into a 1/10 hobby grade rc body soon. I want the real car even more though.

I'm kind of dissapointed that AMT is doing these, there quality is kind of shody, at least it was with the 4th gen kits and many others they made in the past. I really wished Revell got it, there recent kits have been top notch. I finished up the SSR by Revell earlier this year and now I am working on there Corvette C6, both have awesome quality and detail.

I haven't built anything recent from AMT so hopefully they have improved a bit.

From my experiance both companys can be hit and miss with their product. Some on each are good and bad.
