PettyKW43 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Glad to see a styleside Dodge Pickup! Not surprised at the 77-78 Grille. Was hoping that the GMC Astro would have been a repop of the original issue with the gas turbine engine but the later 70’s issue is still good!

What is the 78 Dodge pickup release date..???

stavanzer Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 AS for the Dodge P/U, I'd expect it sometime in the summer. And that is Okay. It will get here when it gets here.

SWEET...!!! I need a few of them for family owned replica builds..and the older style grilles. Be nice to get a few more family owned replicas in my collection of them.

Jim B Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Kind of surprised they're not Coca-Cola-ing the Autocar.

Force Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Maybe Round2 got paid by Coca Cola to use the logo on their kits, Coca Cola Company spends around $4 billion per year on advertising globaly so I don't think it's impossible.
tbill Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Well, when they reissue the tanker with coke decals we will know for sure....
mackinac359 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 The "Peterbilt Wrecker" will be the 1100-series cabbed 359. Originally kit T533, which is the same as the wrecker kit ran by Ertl/Racing Champs/RC2 in the 2002-2005 time frame. Fresh box art, new decals. Tim

gasman Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Is there a tentative release month for the Brat yet?

I displayed all their items for sale, then searched for "model." They're selling a mint-in-box Rommel's Rod for $19.99, which seems sort of low. And this slice of nostalgia, or nausea: a Palmer 1/32 scale "Screamin' Demon." With chrome parts! For that one, they're asking $29.99. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PALMER-SCREAMIN-DEMON-ROAD-RUNNER-SERIES-1-32-MODEL-CAR-W-CHROME-PARTS-Vintage/382836693238

Luc Janssens Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 What IMHO would be neat is, if Round-2 puts in the round fenders from the earlier tractor too, so you end up with a 2'n 1 kit.

If it sold 5K kits....I'd say do it!!!! Coke collectors buy up all things Coke.......plus I bet R2 got a blanket license.....as long as it sells....I see no issue!
