Once again revell is doing the share your dream wab site. I have posted a few new Idea's such as Adam-12 police car, Cadillac ambulance, Impala SS wagon(phantom).

Posted

Will Revell be producing a kit of any of the models that have been proposed since his whole thing started?

I carefully went through the whole site . Many of the potential releases like the 57 Ford wagon are becoming a reality. There is some "REAL" diorama material featured as in a Grey Hound bus that will have limited appeal . Still, I'm with most here , we have enough 57 Bel Airs, Camaro's and Mustangs . I know the race cars will hit a good many too. Formula I has never been a great seller in the US .

From what I understand, just a well- detailed Princess Leia, in the gold outfit from the third movie.

Many of the requests would be re-issues. Some others are veeeerrrrrrry specific. And some are just (to me, anyway) way "out there", and I don't mean just sci-fi space stuff.

Doubt it. They might look at them, then say they want to release another '57 Chevy.

If you look at it, you will see it is Revell of Germany, not Revell USA. Both are now owned by Hobbicco, but, if it is like last year, it was a Dog's breakfast spread of requests. It may give ideas, but these companies have a variety of means to gather data.

It's still the same site, though they refined the search feature and proposals nomenclature, somewhat.

Yes...also a plethora of subjects, of which many duplicates, so IMHO it still needs some more massaging, also in the voting process.(if the displayed numbers are factual, not fictional, as in why let the competition use the data)

Is it useful in it's current form, I doubt it, but it's nice to have a place to voice or post your idea.

Well the porsche 918 come to fruition, Whether they were doing it already or not. Would like to see a modern American big rig.

Yes, Revell AG is doing the 918 , far as I aware, there is no current released date

One other thing to keep in mind, a lot of stuff is from the first time around they did it, you can see the submitted date, and a lot say 2014

I know that a Pic of the 72 Matador was shown, But Which Adam-12/LAPD Cruiser would you Choose first?? There were 5 Different Cruisers for ADAM-12 Alone during the 8 year run. Pilot+67 Belvedere (This one would be easiest as they have the GTX/Coronet tooling!!) First season= 68 Bevlvedere New Tooling Second + Third season= 69 Belvedere New Tooling Forth + Fifth season= 71 Satellite (Again a Possibilty based off Monogram 1/24 Satellite/GTX) Sixth-eighth Seasons= 72/73 Matador New Tooling Don't forget the Other Cruisers seen Mac, or Lt usually drove a Wagon!! Also seen were 70/71 Mercury Sedan version of Cyclone 70 Dodge Coronet 70 Satellite Wagon 74/5/6? Matador Of all, Which would be Most popular?? Also What year Cadillac Ambulance?? The picture is of Jo-Han's kit. But, What about a later one (Based off 84 DeVille Lo-Rider), or earlier one?? Round2 could decide to offer a Standard Ambulance off of Either of their 2 Ghostbuster's 59 Cadillac Ambulances!! They could also decide to do either 68 or 69 Belvedere 4dr Sedan based off their 68/9 Road Runner/GTX tooling

I have made several propositions on that site:

Mercedes Benz W123 wagon:

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/6222/

Mercedes Benz W107 SL

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/5438/

Reissue of the 1984 Ford Transit by Esci (assuming that Revell has the molds)

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/5257/

United Stated Forest Service vehicle, they could make one easily with say the 64 Chevy pickup, some decals and a few extra parts.

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/5232/

Ferrari 456, a "modern day" Ferrari that is not in kitform.

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/4389/

Citroen Ami6:

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/4339/

Mercedes Benz W114/W115

http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/4275/

But I am really wondering about the votes on some of the things on that site. I have seen sugestions get several thousand votes in a few days and how they do that is to me a little strange as other sugestions that have been posted at the same time may only have a few (less than a 100) votes.
