Greenlight Hollywood Field of Dreams 1973 Volkswagen Type 2 + Club V-Dub Westfalia Campmobile


I'm a fan of Greenlight.  Not a hardcore collector, relatively newer collector, but I have most of the castings I personally desired from their releases last 3, 4 years.  While the VW Buses are maybe overly done by everybody from Tomicas, Hot Wheels to M2, Matchbox & Johnny Lightnings, but I have looked forward to just two new particular vans from Greenlight & these two are it.  First, from their Hollywood series with the basket-style roof rack & little bit of dirt & mud is the VW Bus taken from the classic baseball movie Field of Dreams.

I love baseball, and this makes me want to watch the film again.  This bus has bunch of crap on it, and bottom line, I guess that's the kind of VW buses I like.  Next one has huge crap on it:

For some reason, I was searching for "campermobile" when I was looking for this thing & wondering why I could never find one for sale.  Field of Dreams, I'd give it a "B".  Wheels are average looking & roof rack look little rough.  Campermobile(haha), I'd give it a "A".  It would've been a "A+" had paint job been perfect(coming off here & there, little spotty).  Still, tent & wheels seem realistic to me at 1/64 scale.
