I think it was around 2012 that Round 2 bought them out.

Catalina was issued originally in 1998 and I think the Starliner dates back to the 60's

And honestly, I have been thinking of starting to collect this series of kits. But please, don't tell anybody! I should just buy this kit and load it with vending machines!

How many vending machines do we need?

Looks like a Double Dip is coming, and I am sure a Triple not far behind.

Great build. That is one sexy machine! Can't wait for them to hit the shelves!

So, has anyone mentioned if it can be built stock? ? Seriously, some of you need to chill for a bit. It is just a box of plastic that you can buy or pass on. Now back to regular questions, like can it be built into a Coronet or something? ? Does it come with a stock hood......and so on.

ebay, local kit show or model club

Thanks, that has to be one of my all time favorite kits.

Hopefully I can get back to some model building soon, but until then, here are some oldies but goodies.

I will keep an eye out and see if they make it to Southern California

It was a great way to push out old product, just rebrand it!

Equipped with a Toyota 2JZ

This again, nice

As someone who has both sold and bought off ebay, I can honestly say that the bad and good are on both sides of this coin. I sold out a collection a few years back and the amount of complaints was low, but still, some people just love to complain. One guy bought the model, complained and was refunded his money, I got the kit back, but he had stripped it of all the good parts and wheels! Yeah, that was a mess. And I have also been stung a few times by shady sellers, some who where at one time well respected vendors. And yes, shipping is a bit high on some sales, but then again, shipping is not cheap anymore. When USPS shipping is now up there close to Fed Ex or UPS, why not use them instead? As always, Caveat Emptor when shopping the bay!

I wonder if Atlantis can get their hands on the Accurate Miniatures stuff and maybe bring back some of the cars and the Vettes. Tom told me that when he handed in the drawings for the instructions, the guy who did the final lay out mixed it all up, and that is why those kits are such a pain to build from the box!

Man, I sure miss Tom, he was a really cool guy. And that is the buck I actually held in my hands when I visited him once at that locale. I was trying to sweet talk him out of his 1/16th stuff, but he was saving it for his son. But, I did score a box full of 1/16 Dragster Test Shot trees! Lots of kit bashing parts! Did you by any chance score the busted mold part?

Atlantis is bringing back the Funny Cars, and maybe hopefully, these will be next! Great job on the Rattler!

As quirky as these kits are, they are still some of the best in Vintage Dragsters out there. Although, they where not that vintage when I first assembled one! LOL! This one looks really nice and it brings back great memories!

I really like Jay Leno's Survivor Gullwing. Customized back in the day with a Candy Apple Paint job that drives the Purists nuts!

I have no idea why I have Mobius on the brain. I should have correctly stated Atlantis! Thanks for the reminder, and how did the motorized part work? Ok or glitchy?

Would be awesome if Mobius had this mold.
