For the Baller on a Budget!

I have a question. Do you even build models or are you just using this site as a price guide and feel good meter on selling stuff? Asking info on kits is one thing, getting values and then telling us how much you made is another. So what is it?

The Nova Wagon was converted into the Boss Nova and I doubt they will re-work the tool again. The Rat Packer is based on the stock Chevy II and that never came back as a stock version. Maybe it is time for them to make a new tool of these cars. The Galaxy was a shelves warmer the last time it was issued. I bought mine on discount when they got put clearance , and so was the Caprice. But maybe new Retro Box art would make them sellers.

And it still exists!

Thanks! It is getting a Nissan VG33E V6 that is slightly warmed over.

Currently under construction! ? But I can't wait to cruise it. It's a 1972 Datsun 510

This post should be moved to General as it is not really a Trade post And No! Don't go posting it again in General, you already have it in Introductions

Would like to find these

Wow! I can't believe how many of these kits I have that Casey just posted! In addition to these.

I will be very happy to take it off your hands!!!

The Revell Monza shared it's guts with the Pontiac Sunbird and Mustang II, and that is why they look so weird under the body. This was a weird time at Revell, where the they where trying to save some money by making some kits almost modular. Like the Pick Up trucks as well! A Datsun shared the chassis with a Ford and a Chevy!

Maybe a sneak peek of the next AMT release?

The stories of lost and damaged tooling are some of the greatest Urban Legends of the modeling world. While some have come true, most are still that, Urban Legends. I would not be surprised if the "Rust" was mostly surface rust and just made it easy for someone to write them off. Until then, may the stories continue! ?

Most likely still the same scenario. It has the Monza badge on the nose like the '78 and up. I really don't think MPC changed the tooling, just kept adding parts that are non stock.

This was issued in 1980, and, the last Chevy Monza made by GM was in 1980! But, I think this actually might be their 78 as there is not much different between them, other than the IMSA style body panels and wheels.

Drag Racing And like i said, that is not even him in the picture! ?

They probably realized how much extra plastic was needed to make LInda and cancelled it! LOL! And that guy is not Shumacher, but he is lucky to be in such nice company!

You have a point there, and I do hope there are moving a few extra units due to the Product tie ins. But, I sure do hope they put some of that money to use on new tooling. While it is nice to get some old kits back, it is also nice to get new tools

Oh goodie! Monopoly themed re-issues!

No worries. I don't think I have ever fully completed and OC kit, might have to give it a go again soon.

Yeah, this is literally a Snap Together with no detail!

Yup, it was actually a real thing! I can't find the pic I have of one, mounted on a dragster, but, I know there is one in the AMT Parts Pack engines as well.

Comparing 30+ year old kits to the latest in their line is not really fair. Tamiya does keep improving. Sadly, how often can you say that about our domestic kit makers. I look forward to buying one or two and throwing them on the pile!
