The rod version chassis parts were shared with yet another one-shot kit, that awful, awful '34 Ford three-window coupe... x2 on all of Mark's comments. I have been after Round 2 for several years to consider a reissue of this '23 T Roadster kit. Happy to see it is in the works. Just be aware that the kit as it builds is substantially less attractive than the killer box art illustration! TIM PS = and FWIW, I have also counseled against a reissue of that dreadful '34 3 window.....TB Edited March 15, 2019 by tim boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Is this the 23 T Roadster kit, older version? Not familiar w/ it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Sikora II Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm very curious to see what's going to be included in the '67 GTO. And really looking forward to the Schwinn Stingray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that and some of Round 2's new slicks, mag wheels and new decals? Edited March 16, 2019 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various MPC GTO kits had some neat drag stuff over the years, including a straight-axle front end. Kinda hoping they found some cool stuff in their collection of mold inserts and are doing some creative mixing and matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Bonnevilles had some also, like parts to do a mid engined drag car IIRC in the '67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else has basically been repoped so many times, and not all that rare. I hear the Stingray bike is not an easy build. And if I remember correctly it came with decals to build it as the Apple Crate version? I'm hoping they offer us more choices in decals this time, so we can build other versions.

unclescott58 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Doing some research on-line, it looks like I'm mistaken on what version of the Schwinn Stingray was offer in the MPC kit. It was the Pea Picker. Not the Apple Krate. Edited March 16, 2019 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was just about to post that. One of two Krate bikes I had as a kid. Pretty friggin' cool model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we all have a Stingray back in those days? Mine was direct-drive and the wheels were the same size . Then I graduated to a 10-speed!

Dave Van Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I had to be different.......AMF Wedge. This is not mine.....it was blue....but exact same otherwise. It got stolen after I had it about 5 years.....to bad too....it's worth as much or more than the Stingray's....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My folks bought me a 26" bike just before the Sting Rays came out, and said no way I was "backing up." I DID, however, buy one--a red, early '70s 5-speed in VERY nice original condition--at a yard sale back in the late '80s for $35. Last time I checked, it's now worth about 10 times what I paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoxrayniner Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Any word on the AMT '77 Pinto re-release? Haven't seen a thing on it anymore for a while, weirdly into having one of those again even if its not the MPC one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
