The funny thing is, every time Round 2 comes out with another tire set, there is the same whining about the price. Over and over again.

Hideous.

The blue van in the first pic is not remotely stock...heavily customized front and sides...a '60s vintage custom, apparently.

What's 'change' or 'cash'? I rarely ever use cash, and lately I've noticed more and more places using Square and other card readers that attach to cell phones in place of old-school cash registers..

It is unfortunate...though I consider myself pretty modern and have been an early adopter of e-books (have a 1st gen Kindle and Kindle Fire HD tablet), e-magazines (Zinio subscriptions), streaming TV and movies, mp3s and streaming music, etc I still enjoy collecting physical media--CDs, Blu Ray DVDs, books, magazines... I spent many an hour in bookstores over the years...was a big fan of Borders since living in their home town (Ann Arbor, MI) back in the '90s. Denver has a great independent bookstore, The Tattered Cover, that I frequented when I lived there. I also miss record stores--from Tower Records to local independents. It is so easy to buy so much online--I use Amazon Prime all the time-- but I do miss physical destinations..

Pontiacs of that era had really nasty interior plastics....very cheap and cheesy inside. But it was the weird exterior styling that turned off most people.

Uh oh..it got renewed..

Alas, many of the B&N bookstores are closing..

The Do Not Call lists don't seem to work anymore...that's why I keep my phone on vibrate or the ringer off most of the time...

I guess even shadetree mechanics were more formal in dress in olden days..

Yeah, I like old stuff also, esp. from the '70s. But the 'all old only' approach is not a long term business model for a model company... a company can't only make subjects aimed at the AARP crowd and hope to have a future.

1999...Revell Silverado, Ford Lightning, and Harley-Davidson F-series. Most recent Ram is '93-94. It's unfortunate...would love to see some current pickups kitted, but I'm sure the head-in-the-sand/living in the past naysayer crowd that have no interest in anything modern would say that new truck kits wouldn't sell...

True..this hobby does seem to have a lot of cheapskates...

Vent windows, grille, rear bumper & taillights, front pan (different turn signals/marker lights than the '69). Unfortunately, the 68 kits all have the hole in the hood.

Another forum (automotive in nature) that I participate in has regular free membership w/ ads, and a paid membership ($12/yr) without ads and some special forums open only to paid members...they are using the same IP Board software. Works quite well there, I'd think such an approach could work here..

Very sharp build..love the color & the wheel & tire choices. I plan to do one of my '68s w/ the steelies & dds.

This reminds me alot of a Hot Wheels t-bucket that was issued in the '80s IIRC..it was yellow w/ red flames in one issue.

Ask Gregg.

Apparently there were two different types of t-tops used between '77 and '78. The Monogram, MPC, and Revell kits all differ in this detail.

Hideous mish-mash. but I like the surroundings, the house and grounds remind me of places I've seen in Ohio. (I do wonder where the pic was taken, the house looks really familiar from the area of Eastern Ohio I'm from).

Those 3 are probably coming in Nov or Dec.... the announced releases through October are online, and those 3 aren't listed...

That is cool..never seen anything like that.

Yeah, advertising is just part of business...as are ad blockers. I'm sure I'll eventually be walking along wearing Google Glass getting ads popping up in my line of sight, but there will be ways around them...

Yeah...I don't do desktops..haven't had a desktop anything in 7 years...as a software consultant, I need portablity.

A few cons are they tend to be heavy, get hot (aluminum body transfers heat), can't change the battery easily in the newer models, and the aluminium body will dent when dropped (but that's also a plus compared to a Windows laptop that will crack)....but I've used Mac Book Pros at home and for work for several years now, very happy with them overall..
