I'll get another 56, even though I haven't finished the one I have.

I guess I'm optimistic, I like to think everyone was trying to help. Some offering advice on their knowledge of paint, some telling the first time poster that he may have made a mistake and this isn't a 1:1 exclusive website. If I wanted advice on how to shingle my roof I wouldn't ask on a dollhouse forum even though there might be a couple roofers there.

Finally, the Walmart near me has models. I limited myself to these three, for now.

I try not to argue with people that say apples and oranges are the same thing. "They're both fruit. They're both somewhat round. They both taste sweet. You use the same process to remove them from the tree." I just wanted to cast my vote for logic and reason.

Apples and oranges.

He's riding Wonder Womans invisible motorcycle.

Sounds like something I would like.

The first 30 seconds of this clip will be me:

Technically, no. The power source emits carbon dioxide.

For some reason I like this one better.

I was guessing Marlboro. I guess I was close. Looks good.

I see it as similar to a donk. Some might say "look at the terrible thing they did to that car", while I would say "somebody kept it out of the junk pile and it can be changed back".

Yes, I always dismiss the skill level when I read all six sides of the box to get an idea of what's inside the box.

You should probably show all sides of the box before making that argument. Both have the parts count clearly listed. The skill level? I always thought that was a joke. Nothing ever added up with that.

How much more truth in advertising do you need when there's actual photos of the model on the box? I hated boxes with drawings instead of pictures, you can't see what you're getting. Can't please everyone.

The only deflection I see is coming from you. It isn't unreasonable to put more appealing box art on an old kit, it's done all the time. As I said above, it can be returned if you're not happy with it. A little research on the part of the buyer goes a long way. Buyer beware.

There isn't a turd on the box, there's pictures of what you will find inside the box. The best possible version of what is in the box. If my food was smashed I would return it, which is still an option.

I have a 72 Lemans so I bought the MPC 72 GTO kit, not knowing what was inside. Didn't really care either because it's what is available. That's the model world, some are good some aren't. If one likes the subject they make do, they make it better. I don't think there is a problem with the box, the whole point of sales is to make the product look more appealing than it may or may not be. And according to the email it's a hot seller, so I would guess the majority are fine with it.

They are equal in the manner I stated, they are both snap kits that aren't labeled as snap kits. Accuracy, proportion and detail are different arguments. There are tons of glue kits where all chassis detail is molded in, where the incorrect year interior is used, etc.

There is no need to feign concern for newcomers to the hobby. Young or old, people know the internet is a thing and most use it before doing something new or buying something new. Also, a snap kit is something recommended to newcomers so that could be considered a plus. Revell has sold snap kits for many years without indication on the box, this is not a new thing. One example:

Creating the upholstery pattern on the bench seat is the hard part.

I read that as "Yam hauler".

I thought I was weird thinking "I'd buy a Storm". Nice to see I'm not alone.

I would take that bench over the buckets any day of the week.

That's cool. I don't think I would like the mystery box though.
