Mr mopar Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Dose anyone out there get one yet that they could show us what's in the box.........
AC Norton Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 hi Doug, just noticed an original issue on ebay that has all the parts pictured, decals, the lot......I would assume the new one will be much the same, with expanded decals, mini box, etc....hope those ebay pics help you out.....best,,, the Ace....
RatRod Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Just picked up one at Hobby Town, but unfortunately I got one of the "Katch the Kat" kits molded in metallic green.....Gross!

TooOld Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Here's a couple of pics I had on file of the original . I should have a new one in my hands tomorrow and I'll post some new pics then . I expect to see some tinted windows like most of the AMT reissues and hopefully it's not molded in green .

Mr mopar Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I'm wanting to see the tinted windows and what color they picked and the pad stamped tires ! Edited May 20, 2016 by Mr mopar

Get rid of the weird antennae and such and it can be built into a cool little hot rod .
TooOld Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Here's the contents of the reissue . One in twelve is molded in metallic green , I got lucky .
Dragline Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I always considered these AMT cartoon kits to be clunky when compared to Dave Deal and T Daniel kits. However, in this case I am digging it.
AC Norton Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Get rid of the weird antennae and such and it can be built into a cool little hot rod . I'm going out to buy one today, oh, your right....dump the antennae and maybe those eyeballs too, and it would be a neat little piece to build and own. great pics and review ,Bob,......thanks again......best, the Ace....
AC Norton Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 .......just opened mine a few minutes ago,,,,,I have never owned any cartoon-ish type car kit, ever....but made my first exception here....this is one neat little number, and will build into a pleasing and fun piece....glad I grabbed one, might grab another...fun, fun...the Ace..
kingiguana Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Gonna have to get one,....love the decals. Lots of project possibilities. Not normally into cartoonish cars, but this one appeals in a strange way.
keyser Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Have to get extra one for tires for my Bus. Lettering is awesome. Lug Bug pickup only one I don't have. Love it. Edited May 21, 2016 by keyser
AC Norton Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Did they only letter the rear tires? yes Ben, just the slicks....lettering is quite large, and the print quality is superb on mine.....best, the Ace...
AC Norton Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Have to get extra one for tires for my Bus. Lettering is awesome. Lug Bug pickup only one I don't have. Love it. question to you, Christian....what other ones were in this series....I just got the new issue today, love it,,,so if they run the others, what will they be....thanks in advance....the Ace...
keyser Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) These are the other 2 of the 3. I have the van, and the new kit looks like it has the goofy arms from it. It shouldn't be too hard to close up the roof for a panel, and I think the pickup would be easy too. No surfboards or tow stuff, but shorty buses were huge back then. Not hard to bash with a Manx or pop a Vair motor in either. Just a silly fun kit that looks cool built. I've heard. I bought my van new in '69, it's not done yet. Edited May 21, 2016 by keyser added builts, not my builds
stavanzer Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I wonder what the chances are that Round2 will eventually issue the others?All three in one box would make a great set!
Dave Van Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I wonder what the chances are that Round2 will eventually issue the others?All three in one box would make a great set!Buy this one so John can show the others need to be reissued.......Slow sales will kill the other reissues for sure.....I'm gonna make my own version of Lug.....
niteowl7710 Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Round2's literature said "First of the Series", so much like the 1/32 kits they'll slowly run them all if sales warrant it.
