Once again for the people in the back....

Looks like we missed the boat on 1/16 Day. Bummer.

It is nothing against Salvinos or their kits, it is just what I find interesting or not. Their kits are very nice, and I do have a few of their early types, but the new stuff just does not interests me. But, if the crank your handle, have at it and who cares what we think. Yes, some have to just voice our feelings sometimes, some with a simple meh or yawn, and some with outright disdain. But that is the way of the boards. It all can't be Rainbows and Puppy Dogs. But, all threads end in some crazy Mopar Hub Cap discussion anyway!

Hey Mods, why don't you just pin this thread and make it kind'a permanent

I think Mattel did away with the "Price" on the box code, which would apparently been $2 bucks on the Monogram coded one. But, I could be wrong, as I am only going on what I can barely remember. And it was 1970

Well, it was the Big Rig influence of the times. Not their best work, but anything to sell a few more units!

Yeah, sadly Revell didn't even come close to stock with their vans, the 1/25th scale van is basically a shrunken down 1/16th van. All custom with not stock parts. I have both kits, actually most of the vans Revell made, and they are cool, but huge. And the MPC Ford Van is in 1/20th scale. Wish they would have done them in 1/25th as well.

They are out there, and at not that bad a price.

Yes, that would be nice to get again.

The dual body version has been released not too long ago

The Big Bad Van is 1/16th scale. Revell did a couple of large vans, both have not been seen in quite some time, not sure if they would really sell anymore

In my humble opinion, the Revell 82 Z-28 is a more nicely detailed kit.

After years of wanting one, and almost paying the collectors price, it was nice to finally get it, brand new, at the LHS for a good price

You might want to find this one...

So, today I found the stash at a local store, they are at the end of a shelf area, next to some indoor shop, and covered by a ad board for that said shop, I was standing in line when I caught the corner of kit peeking out. If I was not so bored, I would have missed it! Well stocked and not just random leftovers. Same prices as before, nothing on clearance, yet. And for any locals, it is at the College Grove Walmart, shelves next to the registers.

Have not seen a single kit shipper this holiday around here. Maybe they are done messing with them.

I am sure they can make the tires wider for some of you....

Oh wow! I have not seen that at CVS. Looks like I will have to hunt around for it a bit. Thanks for the info!

Hey, Round 2, since you are on a Postal kick lately...... And yes, I find it odd that it is a NASA photo!

Well, considering it includes 4 figures and the Amphicat, that is actually not a bad price. But I am sure he will end up doing just the figures when the kit comes out.
