High octane Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Right now I think that it's a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shoot, so don't hold your breath.
peter31a Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Assuming Revell keeps going the 29 roadster is supposed to be out soon and then the 30 Coupe some time after that. I would guess not until well into the second half of the year.
Rob Hall Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Looks like the 29 roadster has been pushed back to late July according to Tower Hobbies..
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Hang on for at least six more pages of fact-free speculation.
Sledsel Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Just saw a roadster at the store the other day
Richard Bartrop Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I still haven't started on the '29 I bought fro the first time they came out, so I think I can be patient.
socal76 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Who knows with Revell's parent company filing for bankruptcy. Hobbico said they were looking for buyers, but did not say if it was for Revell or the whole company.

socal76 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Revell did not file for bankruptcy, it was the company that owns Revell that filed for bankruptcy (Hobbico) Edited February 10, 2018 by socal76
slusher Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 I would like to get one if they come back out...
stavanzer Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Dave B, I thought I was the only that watched that show any more. Thank Goodness for HULU!

Until the details of the reorganization are made public, most likely nobody not directly involved will know much. If a company that has several operating divisions, apparently as Hobbico does, can't meet its financial obligations, it sometimes may have to sell off assets to pay creditors. IF the Revell and Monogram brands have been operating at a profit, it really shouldn't be too hard to find a buyer...but that's also not necessarily what will happen. From what I've read though, Hobbico has dug themselves a pretty deep hole, so breaking up the company and selling off the bits may be the only option. I wouldn't expect to see any capital investment, like re-tooling or tooling something new, come from Revell until the mess is settled. Unless the repaired / retooled / found / whatever-the-real-story-is tooling for the '30 Ford is done and ready to start squirting out models, don't hold your breath.

If we get a 30 Ford again great but I would really hate to see Revell and Monogram brand go away. I really appreciate your info...
squirrel886 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 .......have two in-progress, and two still sealed. Hopefully things get worked out soon enough.
