Thinkful Wishing about Round2 Models, future Kits.
stavanzer replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Most of the '58-'59 kits are long gone. Most of the Motor City Stockers are the same. The '68 Galaxie, ended the '67. So, the '67 is gone. Most of the kits you seek, are long gone, and never coming back, sadly. -
Thinkful Wishing about Round2 Models, future Kits.

I'd like to see it paired with the MPC Stutz Bearcat. Two kits in one box would be great. I think a Dual Kit would sell well. Better to put both kits in one box. The folks who would buy one, would buy the other as well. I'd love to see these. -

Star Models Resin Realm

Sad news! RIP, Steve -
Thanks for the many helpful answers. All of these are Brand New, and have been stored upright. They have never been stored on their sides. So, I don't think there is much paint in the threads. Mostly, they are just very old. BTW, none have prices on them, and all have settled solidly. I'm going to order one of those ebay opening wrenches that was linked up above. I may spring for an Electric shaker. Any ideas which one is any good? P.S. to Dave Van. I have my Ford Script Monkey Wrench in my tool box. I'll be using it. Thanks. Thanks, Alan

I really Appreciate the Very Enthusiastic Responses, but lets try to keep this thread AMT/MPC only, please. What I had in my mind was more a listing of kits that have been run in the last 20-25 years, rather than Long Lost Grail's that are 50+ years old. I want to encourage Stuff that you bought new between 1999-2015 but have not seen since. There are a lot of those, and some awesome suggestions have been made! Keep it up! This is My Most recent idea. AMT 1995 Ford Ranger H863-10DO Coca Cola Version with the stock Steel Wheels. -
Coming Soon from Atomic City's JoHan line of new kits
stavanzer replied to thatz4u's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I want the old Johan Kits back! I love the Subject Matter, and even the quirky build style of the kits. But, Justin is Correct. The tape (Point of Sale) does not lie. If Johan is to come back, it needs to be with Modern tooling and today's build quality. What ever Failings in kit design and engineering that us Older Modelers cut our teeth on, the new generation just won't tolerate it. Mediocre Kits and Dodgy Fit, just won't sell any more for the most part. These kits are a "One & Done" for new modelers who are turned off by the whole build experience. Look how Hobby Lobby's model shelves are gradually being taken over by Gundams and Mecha kits. That is what is selling for them. I don't blame them for stocking kits that move. Their whole job as a retailer is to "Move the Merch". If old AMT/MPC won't move and new Bandai tooling does, then that is the way they will head. So, I wish Atomic City and Okey much luck, but Odd Boats and Trailers, and Powell Pick ups are not a resurrection. They are a Rear Guard Holding Action. -

Ouch! Get Well soon! Looks like a lot of Watching Videos in your future, and some heavy duty physical therapy. Did the V.A. do the surgery?

When I was a Kid, my Dad always called Wishful Thinking, "Thinkful Wishing" because he always had a clear direction to his wishes. As a ran errands this morning, I had some thoughts about kits I'd like to see back. Not Clones, Not New Tooling, just plain old kits that I think are still very marketable. Some of them are: The '34 Ford Pick, but with the Stake Bed, and the Dual Rear Tires restored. The '25 Model T Ford Paddywagon. Brought Out Once, it should probably do well again. The '34 Ford Tudor Sedan. Issue it as a 2'n'1 kit, and use Coke, Sprite, Hostess, or Sunoco decals. The MPC '32 Chrysler Phaeton. (be nice if the Ma Barker) parts were restored back to the Kit. The MPC '27 Lincoln Roadster. Gangbusters or Connoisseur Classic, I don't care. The '27 Model T Ford Fire Engine. Just some of my thoughts. None of them really need anything but Fresh Decals and and of course Fresh tires, but I think all would have decent sales potential. What are your thoughts. The Rules for the List. No. New Parts. (if it hasn't been tooled, don't ask for it) No Re-tooling. This is just for Clean the Tooling, Open the closed off sprues, and Run the Tool Kits. Any New Decals are fair game. Think of how Round2 can leverage current IP's for new kits. (Coke, Sunoco, Texaco, Hostess, USPS, Ect.) Alan
