Like I said, late '60s, 1969 to be exact. I saw the Tiger I in a hobby shop in the neighborhood as a built up window display model when I was nine. It cost the princely sum of $25 at the time.

Big $$$$$, bro. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 7000 bucks. This baby comes in at over 6 feet long and 250kg. Anybody interested? 1/4 King Tiger

Tamiya released A Tiger I and a Centurion with interiors in 1/25 scale in the late '60s. They both have been re-released every so often. The interior details are pretty bad. Academy has released, among other AFVs, a Jagdpanther which is also lacking in reinements normally found in 1/35 models.

William Devane is recommending that, in addition to gold and silver, this kit is the next big investment item. What's in your safe?

You neglected to mention the Bel Air bodies mistakenly packed instead of the 150 one.

Here is what I wrote about the history of Palmer Plastic, Inc. in Adam Rehorn's (aka Faust) "Sprue Lagoon" blog: Palmer was primarily a manufacturer of plastic toys normally sold in dime stores, drug stores, candy stores and such. Palmer was one of the manufacturers of those toy soldiers we all grew up setting fire to as kids. Plastic model kits were just a side line; so, one could excuse the lack of accuracy and detail. Besides, these kits were geared toward kids who built models for fun and future destruction on July 4th, not rivet counting obsessive-compulsives of later decades. As long as it looked like a Corvette, it was worth the allowance money spent. If you checked out the link, it doesn’t look that bad. Palmer Plastics Inc. was originally located at 31 Stone (now renamed Mother Gaston Blvd.) Avenue, in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. This location was demolished and was replaced by housing projects. The company later moved to 10720 Avenue D., about a mile southeast of the Stone Avenue address, where the neighborhoods of Brownsville, East New York and Canarsie meet. The former Palmer Plastics factory still exists and is still used to manufacture plastic products.

I respected you up you that comment, knave.

Considering the number of molds Revellogram possessed, that is quite the bargain.

There might be a burgeoning market for novelty planters shaped like model car toolings. Think about how Chia Heads were the only players in town at one time.

Getting scammed in a trade is no better nor worse than having it happen with money exchanged for goods. You're still left holding the bag. A simple no liability/at your own risk disclaimer on the part of this site for any type of transaction would suffice. PayPal payments for sales can be disputed if a deal does go awry.

Might as well speculate on the price of tapioca futures. Quantum Capital Partners AG doesn't acquire companies just to cash them out. Purchasing Revell's assets must make sense. I won't say that this was done because, as has been, heh, speculated, some of the team have warm and fuzzy nostalgic memories of building a model in their youth. They are hardcore specialists in their fields and are making decisions based on the bottom line.

I've been an online customer for some years. Justin is a good dude.

I stated this in another thread. Sites such as Armorama, Track-Links, Missing-Lynx, Hyper Scale and others have variations of "Buy, Swap & Trade" sections. They all fulfill their designed purpose with almost no problems regarding "bad" transactions. You get exactly what you pay for. Does this mean that some auto modelers who trade or sell are the "Fair Deal Dans" of the used styrene car world?

Being that you're from Jersey, you should know the answer to that. Those days of browsing through the shelves are becoming memories now. Nothing in NYC anymore. The shops in NJ are likewise defunct. The few places left, like Jan's Hobby Shop on the UES, aren't worth the trouble because you'll get gouged big time. There's a place in Astoria, Queens called ModelCars.com. It's primarily a mail order operation; but, it has a physical location: 3801 23rd Avenue #407 Astoria, NY 11105 The model car selection is pretty decent, as are the prices. If you do decide to drop by, don't expect a regular hobby shop layout. It is, like I said, primarily a mail order business. They'll let you use a ladder to check out what's on the shelves. If you want something not in stock, they'll order it for you.

Speculating; or, are you privy to state secrets?

That there is a violation of Rule No. 1 "1) No vulgar language or "fake" vulgar language (as in #&@$$!#$!! or changing the spelling of the word). Offensive language is completely unacceptable. Everyone here is capable of getting their point across without using bad language." The only kids here, relative to the average age of members, are in their late twenties to early thirties.

Only if you're fishing for fluke.

Only if you're going to use them when fishing for fluke.

No dice at Bandit Resin either. The GTX isn't listed anymore.

Wouldn't the tackle boxes be considered as aftermarket items since they'll be used for modeling supplies?

Rick and Negan teaming up.......reminds me of

Negan, in the comic, was captured; but, he later escaped. Probably happened during another of Rick's pointless monologues. Still waiting for Jerry to open a post-apocalypse themed waffle house.

You can use this in lieu of pitchers. Thanks to short attention spans, it'll probably be a couple months before anyone notices.

Even lamer is when Rick uses a weapon, he never carries extra mags. It's one and done and he discards it. Real smart, big shot. Mebbe you can stare the Saviors into surrendering. Nah, he bored them into submission with that ponderous speech after performing a tonsillectomy on Negan. I was hoping Eugene would finally get his mullet permanently trimmed. Perhaps it'll happen next season after Maggie's attempted coup fails. Weasel Boy will most likely align himself with her. Oh, Daryl needs to go, too. The William Tell shtick is worn out.
