It was a simple lead in to the topic of discussion, nothing more.

Let's clear this up right now. Yes the AMT Round2 1929 Model A Roadster kit IS still available and on hobby shop shelves as we debate, never said it wasn't. I will not post any pictures to clarify this now as that just seems to confuse some. Yes, Revell did beat Round2 to the shelves due to all the reasons stated here. again, thank you all for making all the reasons perfectly clear. All I'm getting at, is NOW is the time for Round2 to make use of the marketing void left by Hobbieco's demise and Revells move. They have the time (NOW) and they have the resources.

"His driver" name was Ken Miles.

If I recall there was a typical delay from initial announcement to actually seeing them on the shelves. Thus giving Round 2 the possible advantage of cranking out some of their already mold ready kits beating Revell to market. If not at least taking advantage of Revells advertising of a "new" Model A Roadster kit.

It ( the AMT Roadster) was just an example of what they, (Round 2) have done . yes, they reissued it in the past, and could do again ( NO not reissue the roadster again) something else, ( insert tooling not seen in awhile ) They(Round2) could reissue something else we may be interested in, taking advantage of NOTHING coming from Revell or Hobbico.

All of that being said, I believe they could do well by cranking out something interesting from the past ( NO cost for NEW molds) . again taking advantage of this void in the market.

You're missing the point. Revell was slow on the draw releasing their Model A roadster and AMT/ Round2 already had the molds from their Ala Kart / '29 Roadster they could have beat them to market with, or at least reap the benefits of all the hoop la and present their roadster as an alternative in the market place, garnering them a piece of the pie.

"the 24 Hour War" is this another film ? Guess so Documentary . . . https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4875844/

Wouldn't you think they could make some hay while the sun's shinning ? With Revell pulling back and Hobbico going out, it would seem like now would be the time for Round 2 to step up to the plate. Fill the void, so to speak.

Which kits are include in the Box Art Series ?

Those both look like hub caps, wheel covers

Wouldn't it be great to see a new kit with all the Big Tee parts in the smaller 1/25th scale ( or 1/24th) as a 6 in one kit ?

As an oft time offender, what's the trick ?
