Looking forward to the AMT 1/32 scale Corvette and the 1/16 scale Honda motorcycle. Now if we can get Round 2 to reissue AMT's 1/32 scale '32 Ford, '40 Ford, and '60 Thunderbird. The 1/32 Indy would be okay too. I'd buy it.

I've seen this snap Charger issue listed as the 'City Slicker' on some vendor sites, so it's an urban cousin to the 'Country Charger' issue.   LoL..

Which Round2 kit is this from?

The 1973 Mustang Road Racing. I got it specifically for the tires and wheels...

The three tires that are there are nice.

Ok...I see one big typo on the Charger box art..

Get em fast, they'll be a collector's item. The ultra rare 69 Challenger.

Guess the chargeller is the old GL ? Real nice box art though. Cool Monaco with a nice addition. Wonder if the Batmobile is due with a figure too ?

I'd plunk down the cash for a 69 & Goon car

No, the it's the Polar Lights snap-together kit, as Rob mentioned below.

Ya, the new tool snap kit version of the General Lee from a few years ago...

Sorry Casey, I didnt see previous posts. Also answers my batmobile question (do pay attention at the back Peppershaker)

No apologies necessary. There's a lot to keep track of when Round2 switches the brand labeling, when two '69 Dodge Chargers are involved, and when the DOH packaging goes away too.

It's interesting to see Round2 including the figures, similar to what Revell has (or at least had) done for a few years. I'm sure the pre-painted figures alone will move a few kits.

Im sure it will Casey. Ive bought a few RM kits just for the figures, then moved the kits on.

Me too.......3 Paddy Wagon kits for figures!!

The Snap Kit was actually branded as an MPC.

Oops, you're right, it was MPC, not Polar Lights:

Notice this illustration shows the incorrect 1971 grille/headlight doors, like the old glue kit.

Please tell me that the new tool snap Charger has the correct 1969 grille pattern and this is just an illustration mistake.  Otherwise, why bother getting one of these?

I suspect this preliminary box art was going to be used for the full-detail/"glue" version of MPC's '69 Dodge Charger kit, due to the presence of the optional American Racing Torq Thrust II style wheels, which the SnapFit kit does not include. The presence of the '71 Charger grille inserts is another factor, as you pointed out.

Brett posted some content pics in a previous topic covering the SnapFit version of MPC's '69 Dodge Charger kit here:

I don't have the snap kit, but it wouldn't surprise me if Round 2 copied the erroneous grill inserts from the old glue kit..

You sir are correct. -_- Joe H took more pics in that same topic:

The snapper is a pretty good kit. I think a move to TT2 wheels ect (looking at boxart, which is quite appealing) could be a good move. I have the GL snap issue and would buy more as snappers work for me at the mo.
