More N scale vehicles by MadAboutCars from Showcase Miniatures

Yeah what's with the skipping even numbered decades?  You can get a finished 1954, 1973 or 1997 ford pickup.  But you can't get a 1960s, 1980s or 2000s one.

It’d be interesting to know what the royalty agreement is, because I think the retail cost of these is absolutely absurd.

    Yes, Jens vehicles cost more then other N scale vehicles,but the detail is the best of all the 3d vehicles made.

More MadAboutCars pickups are available from Showcase Miniatures!  Here is the quote from the email announcement:
 
"Madaboutcars is back with a new lineup of N Scale vehicles.  This time Jens has built a series of 1990 - '98 Silverado Pickups.  Two Regular Cab versions, two Extended Cab versions and two Crew Cab versions - take your pick using the drop-down menu on the webpage.  Jens is constantly (and pretty amazingly) working on new products... stay tuned..."

But with Shapeways we had less middle man pricing, could request affordable multiple packs from Jens to fill an autorack, and I could fill a parking lot with individual models from the 60s and 70s right now. I like Showcase and am not wishing ill on it, and am hoping the loss of Shapeways turns into a benefit, but this is not what I was thinking of. Showcase was smart to strike this deal, but I hope Jens is not mired in it permanently or Showcase rethinks its pricing and release schedule.

It looks as though they’ve lowered the price some.

Yeah, these Ford pickups look hawt! $12 seems very reasonable to me, although I guess there's no preformed windows for these.
