VERY WELL DONE!!!!! I love movie cars too............................... -
Ordered 8/21 and says it will be here Monday. 7 days ordered to delivery is plenty acceptable to me. I will admit there are faster Co out there. Kentucky Mustang from order to arrive is often 3 days.....nice....but the 7 still OK
-
Current order placed 08/21/23 around 13:00 shipped today 8/24/23.......not to bad IMHO. Just a FYI My order at Speedway Motors I placed today at 15:00 shipped 2 hours later. So it varies greatly by company!!!!

Dave Van replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks guys.....I must have been thinking in 1/25 scale! -
I bought a mint sealed kit 10 years ago for $20. I have never opened it!!! Thanks for showing your build.......

Nothing blows me away.......may need one of these.........Has the R roll pan been in a RM kit before??? -
Their website has a 'Notify me when in stock' which I use and works well.

I am old enough to recall a time when my buddy and I would get on our bikes and head for the drug store.....to check out model kits. Next stop the hardware store to see if they got new kits. Then on to the grocery store. The hobby shop was a little to far for bikes....so head to Pic and Save, they had a huge wall of all kinds of models. K Mart and then back home. My points is I think the hobby needs all the exposure it can get. It will never be like the 1960's I described.....but any store selling kits is a good thing.

Good prices on all Tamiya....paints and kits...so I wait 3-4 days to ship....have it in a few more. Beats 3 hours drive to hobby shop @$3,50 a gallon in my F-150!!!

3 to 4 is normal for me.

On the Salvinos pod cast they said 1/20 was ch0oosen to cater to the international market were 1/20 open wheel kits are big. They also feel the $80 per kit is cheap on the international market. SO...........................

Sad it's that bad...............

Teresa holds what is left of DEI (shop is still 100% intact and kinda spooky) BUT I'd hope that Dale Jr and Kelly have SOME pull on the matter. I know they do not have a good relationship.....but come on.......Dale Jr should have a say is Sr estate.

Penske Mack MH613 “Ultraliner”
Dave Van replied to tractoraholic's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great realistic look. My daughter in law family owns a trucking company.....they use only MACK trucks..... -
DEI owns the rights to DE Sr 'name'. The #3 car is owned by ECE under 'Trade Dress' copyright. Thus no NAME on the #3 kit other than RCR. $55 is gonna be a tough sell. The old Monogram MCSS kits go around $10 at shows. I hope Salvinos tried going through DE Jr for licensing as he is a model car guy and may have had some input/help/

My son picked up both Rat Fink kits, the old IMC trailer and the US Mail combo. He is in Lexington KY........ They had the snow dragster but passed. -
I'll wait and see.......$80 on an unknown......no

New kits at a Walmart near me.

Same shipper showed up at my WM about 10 days ago. The 66 Mustang for $22 was the only big deal to me! -

Hydrogen powered truck
Dave Van replied to Scott8950's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Those are really cool cars for the era......and the fact so many are still around is interesting. Maybe a better electric car then then those made today. -
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It's been spotty of late. My wife goes to JoAnn every chance she gets. One time they will have 6-10 different kits, then next time zero. Sounds like JoAnn may be getting back into carrying kits..we'll see. -

Because it is selling well. Until they have stock sitting in the warehouse no need to sell to Hobby Lobby. I doubt the HL buyer is putting a lot of pressure on R2 for the 68 kit. May not be a die hard plastic buyer......just another dept they cover. More than likely a craft buyer who has the plastic kit buying as an additional duty......can't see a full time buyer for kits alone. Just IMHO only!!
