Honda also recently had a modern take on that w/ the S660..

What is the octagonal thingy w/ a handle on the right side of each photo?

Got mine today, haven't opened yet..will take some time to grok the contents tonight.

That is a neat kit. Built it as a kid, didn't paint it, put all the decals on it..held up well for 40+ years..

I have my Mac in Dark Mode, but the site doesn't recognize it and still shows in bright white...checked on Chrome and Safari. There is a plugin in the App Store called Dark Mode for Safari, will try that and see if it makes webpages dark. Edit: Dark Mode for Safari works. $2.99 in the Mac App Store. Nice.

Perhaps thin the panel below the grille and behind the bumper so the bumper can sit higher and closer to the body.. or a custom grille to make the front less vertically thick?

I believe so..the descriptions I've read of the Bond kit says 429... it was unusual in that it was a stripe delete car..hopefully, Revell will provide Mach 1 striping in the kit (or maybe save those for another release down the line).

I have an earlier release of that Hot Wheels Magnus Walker car..I saw the actual car in person at a California event (Coronado Festival of Speed in San Diego) almost 10 years ago....snapped a pic of my sister checking it out.

Yeah, I remember when the Treasure Hunts first appeared...my late brother was a night manager at a Wal-Mart, he'd go through the new shipments of HWs and keep the Treasure Hunts for himself... I remember going into a Target or Wal-Mart in the mid 90s and seeing two older guys that looked homeless that were fighting over Treasure Hunts in the toy aisle...

I've collected Hot Wheels since childhood in the 70s, always looking for interesting new releases, not a completist by any measure. That 560 AMG looks sweet...one of my favorite '80s M-Bs, have to look for that one.

Model Roundup is showing an availability date of Friday, so maybe I'll have my preorders next week... looking forward to them. Edit: just got a shipping notice email from Model Roundup for them...woo hoo!

Another vintage Mopie for my stash arrived from eBay. Unpainted, complete except for missing the instructions and stock wheels and tires. Plan to use some Iceman big and little 70s style wheels and tires.

Probably in the same price range as previous Möeibus Mopar race car kits and out at some point in the future.

Haven't opened it yet, but I assume it's a variation of the 4dr they released a few years ago. Different body style.

Got a couple new releases in the mail today.

The burger chains I miss from living in the SW are In and Out, Fatburger, and Habit Burger... though I do have plenty of good local burger joints here in the Cleveland area.

Yeah, the largest American regular cars were about 235 inches or 19 feet and change. The only cars over 20 feet were limos like Cadillac Fleetwood 75s, Crown Imperials, etc…

Gorgeous...my favorite year of RR

I've experienced both...depends a lot on the seller... if it's one of the 3rd party sellers, the packaging is sometimes sketchy. I got a bottle of liquid laundry detergent in a mailer bag once...was a leaky mess.

Don't recall if I've ever bought models on Amazon. Been a Prime customer for ages, a customer for 25+ years... great selection of household stuff, groceries through Whole Foods, and I love the Prime video channels for streaming. Though I can find better products at my local Ace Hardware or Home Depot for some stuff, been disappointed w/ garden hoses, nozzles, etc from Amazon. As far as how they treat employees, I’ve talked with a few recruiters from Amazon, have a couple friends that have worked for them, and it’s sort of a big company mixed with a startup mindset in their software engineering departments (where I would fit in at Amazon—their AWS systems). Lots of long hours. They pay quite well, Silicon Valley wages…

Saw a really sharp '68 Impala Custom Coupe in a dark burgandy, low-rider style on wires...very clean.

No..though large contemporary SUVs like her Navigator are very easy to drive...power everything...the idea of driving something like that without power everything is unimaginable.

Sweet..

Thanks for sharing..I'll have to take note of the Akron and Zanesville ones.

My mother, who was 4'11", drove a '68 Cougar w/ a 3spd manual, manual drum brakes, and manual steering often well into her 60s. But she also liked creature comforts--she had a series of Cougars and Thunderbirds from the 1970s through the 1990s.. Her last car, though, was a hefty '05 Lincoln Navigator w/ power everything and power steps.
