GeeBee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wha? This is new news to me! The box says Ebbro - isn't that a die cast maker? Since seeing the photo, I've been in touch with Tamiya and Ebbro, both have confirmed that it will be a 1:24th scale kit in plastic, which will be sold under the Tamiya brand, the reason it has Ebbro on the box, is that It is a colaboration between Tamiya and Ebbro with the modified parts being designed by Kia San at Ebbro, I've been told it should be available around March time here in the U.K, I also been informed that Tamiya's original 2CV kit is also being re-released this year.

Vince Nemanic Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My local TV news just had a story about the International Toy Fair in New York, while they interviewed a guy about toys, they said that the show ran February 10 through 13. Will there be any kit announcements there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I had heard from a vendor at Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle Show, back in July, that Moebius was going to be doing a 61 Pontiac Ventura and a 65 Mercury Comet but, have not seen anything on that yet. no truth to the ventura, comet or 65 belve. Unfortunately just internet rumor. Id love those though!!!! I did hear a rumor Round2 is considering (maybe planning to? Wasn't clear to me which, if either) re-issuing the '58 annual kits, as many as they can. Not necessarily all within the same year, but whichever can be reissued will be sort of thing. They are a bit too simplistic for me, and unfortunately '58 was the year GM let the stylists loose with the sculpting tools and decreed "Too much chrome is not enough," but I know many baby boomers would gobble them up.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Personally, I would be rather surprised if any of those molds still existed. If they were still around, chances are rather high that something from that era would have popped up by now. 58 years is a long time to keep something like that this quiet.

I bet nobody thought the AMT Olds F-85 Funny Car mold still existed, yet now we know it does.I'm just passing along what I heard second-hand, and that's precisely what this topic is about.

From the photos I've seen, posted on a thread somewhere around here, I could tell little to nothing about it. And of the above rumors. I'm also still waiting for the '71 Demon. I still can't understand what happened to make this kit not happen?As far as the 1958 kits being reissued. I'll buy at least one of each if this should ever happen. But, for some reason, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this one. It would be very cool to see. I don't mind that the original '58s were basic curbsides. I love that old stuff. But, after all these years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the '61 being released in club coupe form instead of Starliner or convertible & with the interior from a 4 door tells me that the the Sunliner & Starliner kits are long gone.Most likely most of the old annuals from that era have met the same fate.

Dave Van Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 How many 'gone forever' kits have we seen in the last 15 years????I was told by the then head of AMT that my grail kit the AMTronic would NEVER be reissued due to issues. It was.....twice in fact. May not be everyone's fav....but it happened. There is still some 'shocking' kits to be 'discovered'...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) You guys heard it wrong.... 1958 was correct.... only they're reissuing the '58 Belvidere again! Edited December 15, 2015 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
