In case you haven't come across this:

I applaud there efforts, but nothing there sparks my fancy

[MrObsessive]

Hey! A 1/64 scale '58 Plymouth Belvedere/Fury! From what I can see, the trim is STRAIGHT!

'Bout the only other thing I see that interests me is the '55 Nomad. I like the Camaro kit, but I'll wait till the full glue kit comes out later on.

[ChrisBcritter]

Looking forward to the reviews on the Pacer wagon; might just grab that one.

Re the Stooges '55 truck: Shouldn't it have Shemp instead of Curly?

[RAT-T]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PACER WAGON WHEN THERE'S SO MANY OTHER GREAT KITS TO BRING BACK

[John Goschke]

What the heck is a "Cameo Stepside"?

[1st 700 Quad]

What the heck is a "Cameo Stepside"?

Wondered that myself.

[Junkman]

Is he one of the highly professional people who are running the company in this difficult market?
I just hope he is the toilet cleaner.
And who owns those fancy cars in a company that is so struggling for survival that not even the most basic investments can be done?

I don't know. Those apologists for the model kit industry are ever more getting on my tits.
This is piss take of the highest order.

Probably Tom Lowe's (owner of Round 2) cars...I haven't heard anything about them 'struggling for survival'...they seem to be doing quite with w/ their model reissues, multiple diecast lines, slot cars, etc.

Mine neither.

I had the sound off and clicked around through the thing. Didn't catch the scale of that diecast '67 Camaro--I assume it's 1/18? I'd buy it if it were 1/24.

[1972coronet]

At last ! The 1955 Nomad makes its return ! No more ridiculous ebay prices ! My only concern : were those garbage custom tyres replaced with new versions ? 

I'm in for that Pacer,  too . Haters gonna hate , and I. Don't.  Care.

[Luc Janssens]

Nothing that rocks my boat this month, need more stuff like the Pinto wagon, or the Volare, kits which haven't been around for a few decades.

Like I wonder for a few years now if, the tooling for the '68 Ford Galaxie is in their inventory, IIRC it wasn't turned into some funny/dream/caricature car, nor were it's guts used for the '69 Ford Galaxie.

So if it wasn't scrapped, it should be there and I'm first in line to purchase a copy.

ALSO, THE '67 7L GALAXY WOULD BE NICE

I like these video reviews since Round 2 started doing them. The Cameo comment of course is wrong. But, why are a lot of you making a big deal about that? He made a simple mistake. Like none of you ever do that?

Thankfully there is only one new thing I want this month. Round 2 has been releasing so much stuff I do want recently, that I'm about to go broke. This month, I'm really only interested in the Pacer wagon.

[crazyjim]

I turned the video off early.  I can't stand how the guy talks.  Too many um, um, um.  Go to school and learn how to talk!!

[Daddyfink]

I don't care how the guy presents the stuff, as long as we are still getting some kits back! Yes on the Pacer and the Rig. Don't care about die cast or slot cars. 

 

[AC Norton]

........like Snake, I watched on mute and buzzed thru it all, nothing for me this month. its terrible though, that a month has to go by where you end up wasting money on items that aren't model related....lol.........the Ace.....

[Young iron]

The background of this video is just three cars (1966 Toro, 1970 GTO, 1974 Camaro) that have been kitted, but long not-reissued.

 

Funny coïncidence...

 

About the Pacers, does this mean we can swap parts to create 1977 sedans and 1978 wagons ?

That one was recycled to tool up the '68, so not possible without some serious retooling and $$$$$.

 

[Mr mopar]

Where is my Super boss and LiL gasser .....the wait is killing me!

Scott, it says Cameo Stepside on the box.

[Edsel-Dan]

Does that mean Both Cameo fiberglass and step-side finders are included??

 

Remember, the Cameo did use the Step-Side box all 3 years

Then in 58 they brought out the Fleetside

The Fiberglass fenders were replaced with Steel outer box sides!

The Stepside box sides were removed, the floor extended outward, and the steel sides

mounted directly to the floor!!

[Nova-ss]

I don't know know but I'm ok with the pacer.I wouldn't own or buy a real one...uts not my thing..but a model pacer...yep.I'll build one.as well the other kit offerings as well.I love what Round2 is doing......Chris 

[louie]

I absolutely love their announcement video every month and I think that the kid does a good job at reviewing the new kits. Highly applaud them and look forward to the next show.    Jeff 

Thank God that I have better things to do than bash some kid showing us some kits 

[aurfalien]

What a great idea the announcement video is.

Wished others like Revell, Aoshima, Fujimi, Tamiya, MFH etc would do the same.

In a time of social media, it's a no brainer.  Many props to Round 2.

I only wished they'd have new tooling and plastic.  I really dislike that yellow stuff.
