(THAT one was Also a Square Crown Vic) I can actually do those 2 Crown Vics!! I also have 2 of the 1/20 Baywatch Pickup!! They did not go Toyota till Hawaii though LA County units (And later season "BAYWATCH" Pickups were Ford Ranger Splash & Splash Plus!!! First season Pickups were Dodge Dakota's!!! Also built the Superfly New, and Fonzie's version of the Monkee Mobile!! Why didn't MPC rent Jo-Han's Eldorado and add the SuperFly pieces??

AND another I have and Forgot, the Route 66 Vette!!! I also have a 64 Impala "American Dreams" kit (Or is that a 55/56 T-Bird!!!) I need to check, but....... They Did use Too Modern of 60's car kits in that series as American Dreams pieces though!! Like the Bullitt Mustang in a Different color!! (Don't remember though) For the Most part, Any issue of the AMY 57 T-Bird can be built as the Vegas car Some even still had the "TANNA" License plate!!

The Snap/EZ Build kit (Un-assembled Promo) of the Turbine had the Decals from the Movie, though according to many,NOT 100% accurate! And There WAS 1 20 Century ANTIQUE Car shown in Jetsons ONE time Henry had it when George & Jane were in need of a New/Second car for her. It belched a LOT of black Smoke while started, and George & Jane got in the Wrong car Bank Loot was in the back seat!!!!! And In the Movie with Tiffany as the Voice of Judy, Yes the Car Did fly through space. But in the series No, they went on Rockets to the Moon, etc

Forgot more!!! I have a Blue Thunder found CHEAP at a Yardsale UNBUILT and what about the 2 SnapFast from VIPER?? Too bad the Third The Morphed Defender was Never Tooled!! After all That Show DID continue in First Run Syndication after NBC cancelled it Watched it Every Saturday Afternoon!!!! I can Build the Red Roadster version with the Pre-painted Glue kit IF I can come up with the License Plate for it!!!! Same for the Replacement Coupe IF I can find a Pre-painted in Blue without the Stripes painted on!! AND Find the Correct License plate!! Again, there are more I am Forgetting, but.......................

And that "Terrestrial Defense Force Car in the same medium In fact, I have SEVERAL HOLLYWOOD pieces that way If I say FREE Download do you understand what they are?? (And YES they ARE Models, Not pictures)

I also have wanted to do this Rig!! I see another point that says that the "Current Day" pics are of a Clone Notice the Spotlights on the A pillars,... in the Movie they ARE spotlights (Clear lenses) in ALL pics of Movie rigs!! on the Current Day rig they are RED Lensed!!

1. Read the messages just above mine complaining about Tablets and Pocket Toys (fartsmone Oh yea "smart" phone) etc I chimed in on my own dislike of them Maybe I should have had those messages in mine?? (Must learn 'Quote' though) Just think.... POCKET TOY ie "Cell Phone" that TRIES to Do EVERYTHING!!! Camera, Video Camera, PC, Scanner, Printer, TV, etc I HATE them. Give me a Phone that IS a Phone!!!! As to the Volare'-Road Runner. YES, I wish I had gotten one back then Would Love one now, but.........

Thanks for that info. Also, I DO wish Round2 could Re-issue that MPC Mission" Impossible Coronet!!! Had 2 of them Back then Not sure I even have any parts left!!! Mine was built Stock, brother's as the M" I car Though, they Never did have one customized like the kit option!!! They DID have 68-70 Dodge & Plymouth Convertibles of That Body style!!!! I use to Watch the reruns on ??RetroTV?? ME TV?? WBAL's Secondary channel back when we Had cable!!

Would definitely be noce to see the original pieces back Pesonally, I want the Car for the trophy, and the Show pieces, Easel, Floor mount Globe spot lights, etc I know most want the Styline parts back!!! Forgot something here too I LOVE that "Trailers are Readily available" bit above! Made a couple from Evergreen myself!!!!

I have the Rev XKE Raodster/Convertible, Yes, it does have the Flip-up Hood, but My kit did Not have opening doors As for the Old Tool Revell 57 Chevy, ALL features worked!! Steering, Opening Hood, Trunk & Doors, AND rear Quarter windows hinged down too!!!!! I have an Original to restore, I need the rims, Hubcaps & US Royal Master (Pre-Uniroyal) tires!!!!!

HAve a couple of the Jeep kit, and Parts lots of the Tow Truck!! (Though I do NOT remember Cooter having a Chevy of that era!!-- He DID have at least one truck in that Paint Scheme, but wasn't it a Ford??) Actually, wasn't there a Different Tow Truck every Episode He was on?? I also have the BEARCATS Bearcat, and HAD Ma Barker's Pheaton But wasn't that a Movie?? So far, TJ Hooker's is the Only version of the 1/25 Monaco Police Sedan I have!!!! Still want Roscoe's and Gotham's kit versions!!

Would LOVE to get my 3 Towers Back Up and working, but..... This CRAPtop is BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH!!!! BUT................................ It works AND Connects (SOMETIMES!!!) I will NEVER have any of those "Pocket Toy" pieces!!! If I want a Phone, I want a PHONE PERIOD!! Question, I was given a "Pocket Toy" Can I drill out the camera Lenses to kill the cameras? or will that also kill the Toy??

Not easy to see Upside Down as the pics of the decals are, But looking again I do Not think that one plate IS California!!!! I THINK it is Vermont!!! I Do wish the San Diego decals were included though!!!!

There is a Penn Vally as a Seller on evilbay And in that area too Are they the same?? The Shop I liked best in my area was "Dennison's Trackside" in Berlin, Md. City took over the shop for Community Council/Chamber Of Commerce (read Tourist info) Supposedly he opened in another building there, but..... He was Primarily Rail as his name implied, but Did have most everything else I got 2 of the 3 Pro-Stock?Super Stock Dodge kits there Discounted at Half Price That was something he did If an Item sat on the shelf for too long, it was Marked in Red, and clearenced Got a few Leetown/Alloy Forms Fire Truck kits that way too!!!!!! I believe there is (or was) a Hobby Shop in Lewis, Del, Daisey's, but......... Maybe Tom Sheehey can shed light on that one. I believe that he lives in that area

Interesting But the California plate is Not correct for the car supposedly used for patterns I do not see the "E" for Exempt or Emergency Vehicle Did those come later??? I Do HOPE I can get one or 2 some day

Try adding having to pay off $500.oo that went into your family account by mistake!! My sister gets $900.oo/Month, and 300.oo of that will go to payments!! I am Unemployed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So.................. Now you understand the bigger part of Liquidating my collections!!!!

Here is the Boat I have that I believe is the Coronado 2 Pictures. http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/library/Models/Projects/Boat?sort=3&page=1 There IS an Engine under the hatch, though lacking in detail and the hatch must be modified to open!!!! (I am ATTEMPTING THAT)

I never had a Problem with the Revell ALL features 1962 tooled Tri-5 Chevies either Built SEVERAL Including the Nomad Even have that Original Box art kit waiting!!! And no ;less that 4 57 Hardtops!! 2 Pink Lowriders, a red & white to match that Box art And for the Kicker, How about this 56 Nomad based off the 56 Sedan! http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/media/Models/Tri-5 Nomads/56Nomad-rs_zps7c1683bII also managed the IMC Mustang 2, Little Red Wagon (Stock) And L700 Dodges as well as Testor's issues of the 48 Ford Coupe, and Ford GT?? (Red one) I Did have a Street Rods" issue 65 Riviera give me fits though

The Century Coronado Looks like the boat I have had for MANY Years!! Molded in White & Red, with Chrome too. I do recall my kit had Roof/Cabin Options! Sliding top, No top, Long, Medium, etc I am interested in the Owens too!! The MPC Torino MIGHT be usable, but... You will have to Add Door handles, Side markers, tail lights, Headlights,Script, trim etc It IS Stock in shape, and size,, but Shaved so to speak! Oh, And grill will need to be corrected It has the generic Race Screen and Not a Factory grill (I Believe) I can Try to get mine and take some pics I

When I lived on the Island with my Grandpaents, I frequented Bill & Walt's i Downtown Pittsburgh. Not sure if they are still there in 79-80 Kits were Downstairs Last time I got to go in, Figures & Gaming were downstairs with kits up stairs with Model Railroading They Had 1 or 2 Satellite stores too, but closed that(those) before I could find them (Saw the sigh of one AFTER closing!!) Coraopolis Bike & Hobby HAD kits & MR stuff, but got out of that before 2000 I think They were still there, and the sign was the same, But they were only Bicycles!!!! Cranberry had a Shop, and Butler?? had one, but it Moved I am Not sure if it is still there. Down here, The Hobby Stop is where I use to go I believe they are still there in Seaford. They are Primarily a Fiberglass R/C Boat Manufacturer. The store is part of the same Building!! Model Railroading is the largest section in the store (was anyway) with Dollhouse, Scratchbuilding & tools next, A SMALL room in back has the Kits 1 side Automotive, the other Military Import kit are carried I got my Trumpeter ALF Eagle Pumper there ALSO, they had 15% discount on Kits! And being Del, NO Sales Tax!!!!! BUY!! 45 miles north of me!!!! (And NOT sure when I can go back to Look let alone Maybe buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I have 2 Luminators kits myself I believe the 78 Vette, and a SnapTite Battleship. NOT sure which one I think they may have planned to re-issue many of the SnapTite kits in Luminator But I am guessing they did Not sell as well as expected. Mine are still sealed, so I am not sure what color they are molded in

There are actually MORE than just the 3 kits of the BTTF Delorean. Polar Lights RECENTLY went that route with their kit, But Aoshima/Fujimi did that YEARS ago! They even offered the set of 3 trough both Ertl's Blueprinter newsletter and a card in the Then VHS copies of the movies!! Aoshima re-issued them again a few years ago in I believe 4 versions Original Wheels, Flying mode, '55 Wide Whites, and Rail wheels Actually the Original wheels had a lever to flip the wheels to Flight mode in the AMT Boxed run!! and I do not think Polar Lights offers all of those options I do recall Their Flight Mode was a Solid Option and not a Flip of a lever!! Road Wheels OR flight mode I only have an Original P-L kit. Also on the Aoshima kits, All the Body add-ons (Cables, etc) are separate parts added by the builder so You DO have a chance to try to build a Stock Delorean out of their kit, while Polar Lights casts many of those parts to the body P-L also Plated their kit's body
