  1. That's nothing new, though...there were cartoons peddling product 35-40 years ago when I was a kid...I remember GI Joe, Transformers, etc.
  2. There are still 5 or 6 issues left on my current subscription, looking forward to getting them.
  3. Which is a pretty old idea..been going on for decades.
  4. Nothing available in resin for this that I know of, unfortunately. These were good looking cars.
  5. The one that was in the Snapfast Slammers series of custom snap kits with the Fury, Black Force and Concorde. It was a custom early 60s Rambler American convertible w/ top up. Ramblur. Pics of the box art at this link
  6. Haven't seen the movie in many years, but the red one did have a clear hood.
  7. Yeah, when I moved 2100 miles 3 years ago, the dogs went with me in my Jeep. My kit collection went boxed up in moving boxes packed by me into one Pod shipping container, arrived in fine shape.
  8. Congrats... moving is a pain...my last move was a little over 3 years ago and seemed to take forever. I still have boxes I haven't unpacked.
  9. They showed this pic on the FB..looks like some heavy metal objects.
  10. mainstream, casual modelers that might buy models at a non-hobby shop like a Walmart. I think Atlantis is targeting the older, nostalgia market w/ their older tooling.
  11. I have 10,865 posts..I'm sure there are others with more..I've been on here just over 14 years..
  12. Yeah, I've read they only did that because the Moebius founder was a big fan of Hudson...had a very specific personal interest. And the Hudson did have racing history, so multiple versions could be done.
  13. I concur..looks like a late 60s Chevy color. Stock w/ redlines and hubcaps or whitewalls and hubcaps would look good, IMO.
  14. Probably too obscure for Moebius. Danbury Mint did some nice 1/24th diecast ones 15-20 years ago.
  15. Greenlight has done a good job w/ their TV and movie subjects.. loads of Fast & the Furious vehicles, and I have the Big Lebowski Torino in 1/43rd diecast form from them, along w/ several 'Breaking Bad' vehicles... definitely would like to see them do more BB vehicles and some 'Better Call Saul' vehicles.
  16. He was great in The China Syndrome, Absence of Malice, The Firm...
  17. I was thinking of something like that, maybe try and use the large treaded tires from the AMT '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit.
  18. Kinda looks like this green?
  19. I wonder if they have anything that modern. I do remember reading they bought some Revell US-based tooling.... as far as GM and those various scales and the mention of Cadillac, I thought of the 50s era tooling like the '56 Cadillac Eldorado convertible (didn't have a windshield?) and '57 Eldorado Brougham...
  20. Hi, Hermann. great location (I visited Como on vacation in 2004, loved the area and nearby Lake Maggiore and Stresa). In Arizona in the 00s-10s, my sister had an '84 500SEL with over 200k miles..I drove it quite a bit when I lived in AZ. I love that generation of Mercedes.
  21. Very cool build..I have some Tomica Hino diecast trucks. Hino made cars at one time also..my folks had a '65 Hino Contessa sedan when they lived in Saipan in the 60s, I've seen B&W photos of it.
  22. If you like Breaking Bad, check out Better Call Saul eventually..it's the prequel, and is excellent.
  23. Moving is exhausting...done it only 4 times since leaving grad school in 1997. Moved from Michigan to Colorado, moved once within Colorado, then to Arizona, then to Ohio most recently. I'll probably be in my current house a few more years, but looking down the road at selling it and buying a large one-story house w/ more garage space and maybe a barn/shop..but not too rural (the family farm I grew up on and own partially now is waaaay too rural, for example).
  24. Yeah, lots of different parts. Body, hood, chassis, interior tub, seats, engine, wheels and tires, etc.
