Default ERTL 2003 EB Canceled ?

Just looking around at a diecast sellers web site and see they anounced the EB ERTL has been canceled?

Wonder if Target and Miatso presured this decision?

I think Target could care less. More than likely, if they aren't going to make the EB, its because a decision was made to use the production run for a different model vehicle.

I am still new to all of this, but has Ertl ever done a vette like the Z06?
Don't they just do regular verts and coupes?
:confused:

I'm so bummed about this, as I bought a 2003 EB coupe earlier this year, and I was really looking forward to getting a 1/18 diecast of it. :(

For those experienced with such things, is there any hope of this year and color coming out in the future? Or am I SOL?

Get the Maisto EB Z06, the body lines are better than Ertl's C5 anyway. :cheers:

The Maisto Z06 will get you the color you want, but not the body.
There is a Revell 2003 Promo in 1:24 that is a Coupe and is EB.
Here is just one of the links I found on ebay, no, I am not the seller.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2592

The other option is to buy a 1:18 coupe, dismantle it and paint it.

:cheers:

What and not a single vendor knows about this?? Most all of the popular sites offer a preorder service on any new releases. Since when does Ertl succumb to state secrets??? :skep:

Excellent! While not the exact scale I was hoping for, one of these promo cars will do the trick nicely. Thanks for pointing them out to me.

If this is true, we need to let everyone know so our Target EB Z06 will go up in value. :lol:
