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!!!!! The tires in mine Melted the rims & caps BIG Time!!! I have built No less than SEVEN of that series Tri-5 Chevy with No problem! 1 each 55 Coupe & 56 Sedan, and 3 57 Coupe 1 57 Nomad, and of course, the 56 Nomad I started on Years BEFORE Mongram/Revell brought out their kit!!!!

I have a couple of the MPC KITT T/A And the Stealth based Four Thousand from the Movie Knight Rider 2000!! 2-3 of the Charger from Dukes Did have the 1/16 Nascar chassised kit that I sold (Only readon I got it!!) 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!! As for the Aoshima KITT, they have Several versions!! almost one for each season, Even Super Pursuit Mode (With Braking flaps up too) AND KARR! and they have the LED Chase light for the Scanner Red for KITT, Yellow/Amber for KARR Forgot, I have the Hogan's Hero's Jeep re-issue too and a few of the Monkee Mobile FINALLY managed to get both Munster's kits from Hobby Lobby on Clearance a couple years ago And Yes, I have a few Movie pieces too!!

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

I have that Wagon Infact 2 one was being bashed with an EDSEL front clip to make an 59 Villager That is the Toy and will Not warp!! But then, silver plastic bumpers, etc No hubcaps, interior, or windows I also have the Deluxe Promo with all this one does not have Tires are the same, just with the opening for the hubcaps instead of the "full" moon cap molded with the tire

I know one of those MPC 1/10 engine kits was re-issued by Parma some years ago to be a display piece with their 1/10 R/C cars Not sure where it is now Or what happened to Parma

Have you tried a Heating pad? or Cold pack?? I have used both on Headaches Asked why they lasted for days, and moved from one side to the other then back Got told Migrain and 6-12 hours I laughed and said try DAYS!! Last doctor got it Right CLUSTER had me on a GOOD prescription, but Company's merged and my brand's dose was dropped for some time Next does was $70 PLUS for 15 when I paid 20 for 60!! I dropped it and went back to Heating pad on my head around my eyes It worked good enough and being in Dark was an additional aid Luckily, after that, and Him moving to Mayo Clinic to teacher I have not had headaches since!!! was a time though........... Now I always have a Cold pack over my eyes Wrapped in Cloth diapers and tied with a Robe sash I know pain down there too But more in the Groin area Had me worried an OLD Hernia was back More likely a Bowel block LOTS of liquids and a few sit downs on th Toilet and........... was to the point I could not even move my leg Pain is NOT fun, and Not being able to sleep is At Least as bad!! I hope all goes well too

I AM Hoping too So far, only 1 member here has offer to look at Full collection and Allergies got to him last night so............ Still need to find some one to check out Dolls, MANY Barbies (In Box) LP's, and Small scale diecast like Corgi, Matchbox, Hot Wheels, etc where is that Police car builder at?? thought he lived close to me in Del.

Mom bought one a few years ago, but no matter how many times she tried she could not get it activated She trashed it!! I saved it, but........... Can it be activated now or is it too old? Wish I could have kept her Assurance Phone But, they did not send a renewal (that I ever saw) and when I asked, they could Not transfer it. I get offers for the Other Free system, but Since my sister gets Social Security, she is More eligible than I am

I do hope they did the kit as that San Diego Cruiser I started a restoration of an IMC/Testor's coupe I built years ago and made the siren and 3 lights for the roof. I too am waiting to see the contents Did they do the 2 red and 1 amber roof light Is the Siren like that of the San Diego car?? Not sure I will ever get one, but still interested.

Sadly I found one of those. got it apart to fix. it is Complete and is the "Bearcats" issue, not the Connisuer Classics It has the TV show Machine Guns!!! But Not the vacu-fomed base of the other issue

Thanks I do hope to keep a few Items. No one has asked about LP's Dolls, books etc If I can copy the LP's I do not mind letting them go Same with some books, Though don't know how many READ anymore I Love to Trek was my Favorite, til I could no longer find the books I can not find out if The Engineers series continued after book 75 or not And how far past 80-90 are the TOS series, Not sure how many Next Gen books I have , and only a Few DS9 & Voyager!! I Was given a 500+ collection as txt filesm, so DO have them that way As long as I have a PC to open them on! I am Not sure if any one still goes for Avon decanters I have MANY of those, some in Multiples. Most are empties bought later. Those I got new still have their boxes and are mostly full!! DVD's I will likely keep, But I CAN copy them for myself and sell the hardcopy (Have to get a DVD drive though--Saw one at Wal-Mart for $40.oo Some Goodnews,is I MIGHT be able to put in a couple job aplications Preacher told me Advanced Auto is alway looking for drivers, and Auto Zone is Building a Store here now Never expected New businesses to build here!!! Only problem with looking for a Job, is I Don't have a Phone!! I prefer Landline as All I want is a Phone!! Not some Do it all Pocket Toy!!!
