I'm all over the place w/ what I listen to... mostly use Amazon Music and YouTube...most recent listens incl. Pink Floyd albums ('Dark Side of the Moon', 'The Wall', The Division Bell'), The Beatles ('Rubber Soul', 'Revolver', white album), Chris Stapeton's new album ('Starting Over'), Miley Cyrus' new album ('Plastic Hearts'), the Drive soundtrack, Moby's 'Play', some 90s Tom Petty and recent Pearl Jam.... I've got 30+ years of CDs that I've ripped, in the past used them all out of iTunes but in recent years moved them to Google Play then YouTube Music, and Amazon Music (since the CDs bought from there are streamable from there).

1958. Last year of the Packard brand, and only year w/ quad headlights.

Very odd that Buick and Olds didn't do a full-size wagon from '65-70 (except for the '70 Buick). That '70 Buick full size wagon presumably shared the roof and glass w/ the Chevy and Pontiac B-body wagons.

The tractor is a new tool, the XK-E convertible is a variation of a new tool, the VW camper is a variation of a new tool that isn't out yet....

Presumably a rebox of the Fujimi kit as Revell did 30 years ago. Fujimi has done one before in '68 Gulf livery.

VC had a 5 inch longer wheelbase. There was also a regular wagon on the regular wheelbase.

Lots to look forward to... interested in the T2 camper, curious what the Porsches will be... I like the mid 70s 911s. I like the tractor, will fit in with the others they have done..

They should have had the release date right-justified or in a separate column for better readability..

That says ‘70 Firebird. A reissue. The ‘Delivery’ is for the estimated release date, on all the line items.

The original poster didn't give any qualifications to 'last' or 'AMT', so I'll stick w/ the '16-17 Camaro SS..it's the most recent all-new tool with the AMT branding that I can think of...

That list makes me wonder what the first issue of the Ford van was..it would have been all-new around '77. 1979 was the first AMT catalog I got, and it has Matchbox kits listed in it.

1978 before Lesney (Matchbox parent) bought them.

The 2016-2017 Camaro SS..full detail and snap versions.

I may get a set. Would go well w/ the Plymouth Scamp resin kit I have.

Nope. Though I think there may have been a resin one maybe 15 years ago. Seem to recall seeing one listed in a catalog.

I just accumulate kits in my private warehouse until it nears 60 days on the oldest then ship.

In the US, I usually pay around $52.00-55 USD for FedEx shipping for 4-8 1/24th models & a few 1/64th diecast from HLJ....not bad for 3 day shipping to my door from Japan. No duty or tariffs added on from Japan to the US. Even w/ shipping cost per kit, still cheaper than I could get the same kits in the US..

Sad..I remember Arecibo from the mid 90s, one of the projects I worked on at the U. of Michigan in grad school involved software for processing satellite data from there and from satellites in Greenland, to support scientists studying space weather.

The only 240 kit I know of is the recent Beemax/Nunu kit, looks like that one.

Their release videos tend to be inaccurate. They had the James Bond Mach 1 in the November video, and it's not out yet.

Not putting up anything outside...too much work. My neighbors on each side put up lights and displays (one has a Star Wars display with huge inflatable figures).

I've never seen one...the closest is the early '70s Valiant Scamp 2dr ht conversion that Bandit Resins used to offer. I'd love to see a '67-70ish Valiant 4dr in resin...

1/25th would make no sense for a product with international appeal like the XK-E/E-Type. Remember, this is coming from the German part of Revell...the US isn't the primary market for this kit. Nothing new being in 1/24th—the recent Land Rover is, recent VW tools, pretty much everything that has originated w/ Revell of Germany.

Model Roundup has the US rebox for preorder now; listed as a January release. https://www.modelroundup.com/Jaguar-XK-E-E-Type-Coupe-p/rmx-4509.htm

I'm getting two each of those emails--one from Scale Auto and one from Finescale. Same content, different 'From:'...I have a rule to tag those as 'hobby' in gmail, so they really aren't a bother..
