DrKerry Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Just saw this posted on another site and thought I'd share with those that may be wondering!!! big news....Revell sent out notice today to their distributors that the Model A Coupe and Roadster kits will return later this year. New ship dates and kit numbers to be announced later. Great news for serious adult model builders and scale hot rod enthusiasts everywhere.
Art Anderson Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Yup, reported earlier today by Tom Carter, of Spotlight Hobbies on his message board.
Art Anderson Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Guys, all the angst about this tooling expressed here was totally unjustified. The tooling was damaged, that can happen, but is RARE. Did you all REALLY believe all the false news about it? Really?Art

1930fordpickup Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I am surprised it took this long to fix it. They must have been discussing who was paying for it. Glad I was just kicking myself in the butt for only picking up 1 when they first came out. LOL I wonder how fast this next run will fly off the shelves?
Mike999 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 The desire to embrace the least likely explanation always amazes me.....One of the best books about that was written way back in 1841: "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by the Scottish journalist Charles Mackay.Want to understand the 2008 economic meltdown? Just read the chapter on "Tulipmania" in 17th-century Holland. For a while, a single rare tulip could buy a mansion, and people went deep in debt to buy tulip bulbs. Until the market crashed and tulips went back to just being pretty flowers. Similar chapters cover France's 18th-century Mississippi Scheme ("Louisiana has mountains of gold and silver!"). And about the same time, Britain's South Sea Bubble investment insanity.Just make sure you get a complete edition of the book. It's no longer copyrighted, and some cheap versions that only include the economic stuff are on the market. Mackay's complete book covers even more chapters in human gullibility and greed, like witch hunts, alchemy, haunted houses and phony psychics. It's still incredibly modern for a book written over 170 years ago.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_Popular_Delusions_and_the_Madness_of_Crowds

PARTSMARTY Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I love these era of cars and will wait to get one.!!!

Richard Bartrop Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 I know some people who are speculating in bitcoins who are letting none of this discourage them. Every you get these speculation booms, people think this time will be different for sure.
Rodent Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) I know some people who are speculating in bitcoins who are letting none of this discourage them. Every you get these speculation booms, people think this time will be different for sure. No no no no! The ones that went for big money are the FIRST EDITIONS. The ones on the way now are COPIES. The originals will be as coveted as AMT uni body pickups! The copies will be two for $10 at the swap meet. Edited April 8, 2017 by Rodent
Richard Bartrop Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 And I'm sure nobody whipped up the hysteria to try and drive up the value of their own stash.
Spex84 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Mike, I'm totally going to check out that book! I've been reading a lot of free ebooks lately that are out of copyright, so generally about 100-120 years old. I've been repeatedly struck by the fact that the people of 1890 or so were _exactly like us_. Their clothing, technology, and social codes were a little different, but their relationship to all those things was the same as we experience today. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that I'm reading something written in 1900 when it seems directly relevant to my life or the world around me, as if it was written yesterday.And I'll probably get at least one '30 coupe kit when they return. If only I'd invested in tulips, I could afford more
Snake45 Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Still incredibly modern because for all our technology and smart-phones and driverless cars, we ourselves (most of us, anyway) haven't really changed emotionally. Why does everyone assume that evolution is a good thing?

Finally I said, "It's about power and money and illicit sex and greed and lust and corruption and family and politics and treachery and betrayal. In other words, it's exactly like Dallas or The Sopranos or Deadwood or The Godfather or all your other favorite stories." Edited April 9, 2017 by Snake45
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 ... "It's about power and money and illicit sex and greed and lust and corruption and family and politics and treachery and betrayal..."Pretty much sums up all human fiction ever written. Hmmmm....history, too.

It seems to me kind of a Renaissance Faire soap opera w/ dragons...a bunch of my friends are really into it, but I tried watching a few times but couldn't get into it.. I.prefer dramas set in the modern era, I guess...of current shows, I like Ray Donovan, Better Call Saul, Bosch and British and Scandinavian crime fiction..
Xingu Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I found the '29 at Hobby Lobby last week. Looks like I can have my LHS order the '30 in a few months.
High octane Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Oh no! We kinda stocked up on those kits! Yeah, right.
