michaelbaskett Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This was spotted at the Toy Fair 2017 Germany . Round 2 is certainly taking advantage of their Barris Connection..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Round 2 is certainly taking advantage of their Barris Connection.....They might as well use the licensing rights while they have them. I assumed the Barris 'T would be reissued, too, but hopefully the Bed Buggy news means the Barris T won't be reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Amen, Casey. The Corvair Based Barris T, is a decent but not great Show Rod, and as common as dirt right now. I have two sealed issues that have been to to three swapmeets and not sold. Looking at the instructions for the Bed Buggy explain why Round2 is doing this. The Chassis and powerplant for both kits are the same. Round2 has either found and restored, or retooled the Bed Buggy parts, and the Barris T parts are close at hand. Voila, a New kit.Good For Round2. This will lower the insane eBay prices for another kit.

Phirewriter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not at the top of my list for show rods, however has lots of neat parts. Wheels, tires and a corvair motor for my pile of dune buggy kits and those cool Woodlite headlights for classic cars, vintage customs or hot rods.

stavanzer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yeah, the Woodlite headlights alone my prompt a buy. Round2 should think about just selling the chrome tree with those lights by itself.I'd be in for a bunch, just for those Woodlites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 But will the reissue include the leopard print sticker for the bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 But will the reissue include the leopard print sticker for the bed?I sure hope not that printed sticker stuff was garbage was not even close to the real car ,but if anything I hope it is a decal and put the correct rear tires in the kit , long with yellow glass !

Impalow Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ha! Figures as soon as I 3d modeled and uploaded woodlites to my shapeways store this would be re-released.. oh well... hopefully mine are nicer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cole Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I did not know what a Woodlite headlight was, so I Googled it. If you are not familiar either, this is it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not familiar either, this is it: yup they are pretty awesome... check this out: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/120250-124-125-scale-woodlite-headlights/ Sorry for the shameless self promotion...

stavanzer Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 A further check of the Bed Buggy directions does no show any lenses (glass) for the Woodlites in the Kit.So Round2 can sell just the Chrome Tree and you'll have all you need. Neat! It'll never happen but it's a good idea, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good question, they seem to leave at least one important piece out of ALL of these show rods, like the Beverly Hillbillies truck - ( the little decal to allow a builder to make the hot rod version ) , The Raiders Coach - ( the figures ) , etc, etc...... so ..... I don't think it's too far fetched to expect the leopard print rug to be missing from this one. Granted, this sort of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but when they offer them - it may be nice to have it complete - never mind the extra marketing jazz, such as fancy bases, posters, glitter plastic, etc...... just provide all the parts. Wasn't AMT still owned by Racing Champions last time those two kits were reissued? That was 2000 and 2004. I never thought I'd see this kit reissued but I can't wait to get one.

Muncie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 thanks Casey, appreciate the reply - maybe Round2 will get to it. The old MPC flyer is way cool! - neat archive piece. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Has anybody contacted Round2 yet to ask if this kit is still in their plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I read where it had been cancelled about three days after passing on a mint in box one original issue for $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
