new johnny lighting firebird diecasts coming out soon!

well just when i thought i have collected all the 1/64 scale firebird diecast cars of johnny lighting...
i went onto johnny lighting website today and noticed they're coming out with a second series of the firebird collection...
the cars are gonna includes:
1968 firebird 350, 1973 firebird Formula SD, 3 1978 firebirds in 3 other colors, and a 2001 firebird ram air in dark orange (which i think looks ugly in that color)
unfortunatly they're no diecast being made at time for the "3rd gen bird!" which i'm upset over...
i mean...the camaro cars have they're 3rd gen up which is the 25 anniversary camaro...so i don't see why they don't have a car for that the 3rd gen firebird!..
so i decided to take this into my own hands and email the site.
Hopefully they'll respond to my question...
here's what i wrote to them....i suggest you all (specifically firebird fans, nothing against our camaro bros.) to write something similar to them....


hello,
i've a avid pontiac fan and i've been collecting quite a few pontiac die cast cars of your collections...
mostly 1/64 scale firebirds.
i love the collections that you are putting out and the array of colors and options they feature.
unfortunatly i've also noticed that you have left out a firebird era that has also been part of the time line which is the "third generation" firebirds (82-92) and i also notice alot of entusists out there neglect this generation. My question is, are you planning on doing anything for this generation, i would love to see a GTA trans am on a package or a Formula 350, i know it would be an instant hit on the shelves. I know many people who would buy this product if it did hit the market.
I noticed that the you already have the 25th anniversary camaro out which is part of the 3rd gen vehicles...so it would be fitting to see if you can do the same for the firebirds.
Thank you very much for reading this and hope to purchase more of your products in the near by future...
