Toner283 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Wasn't it a limited production kit? The rumor floating around was that it was a one shot deal with the blue bandito/beetle parts. Didn't make sense to me but the model companies do lots of stuff that makes me scratch my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 LHS in my area still has a couple of them. If you pound the ground, you can turn one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I heard and what prompted the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have a couple but i bought them purely to rob parts for other projects. I've seen enough box art Blue Beetles and Banditos that I don't need my own.My local shop, Pegasus Hobbies, still has 'em on the shelf. I'm happy to have all the retro parts I can get but I still think it's too bad they couldn't get the Cadillac script back on the valve covers.

Art Anderson Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Virtually no plastic model car kit has, or does today, enjoy and open-ended production run. Â Hence there will always be some limit to the supply.Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 But they'll always be available on ebay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 As with any reissue, people that are interested in them get them when they come out...then they fade into obscurity as the next month's issues get attention, etc, forever available on eBay...

Mark Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Limited production...limited to the number they think they can sell. It'll be back in five years or so, tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Joy Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My FLHS has a stack of them. No one seems to want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I really would like one or two, but unless/until they show up at Hobby Lobby so I can use the coupon it isn't going to happen. Unfortunately, that is true for any model kits I want to buy right now. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Norton Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My FLHS has a stack of them. No one seems to want them. ....ditto, as I posted above a few hours back.......around my neck of the woods they don't appear to have been a hot seller either......the Ace....

slusher Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I never did see one at Hobby Lobby and I didn't get one but then again I really don't need another model kit right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
