Chuck Kourouklis Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 My San Leandro pusher actually beat my RPP pals in Rohnert Park. Got the 'Stang and Chevelle from the former in January, the latter only just got the Mustang in, no Chevelle yet. No restock since for the the San Leandro guy either. In the aggregate it seems the 302 is just a bit more in the US brick-and-mortar pipeline right now than the Chevelle - possibly because part of the Chevelle's run was reserved for RevellAG boxing?
Trendsetta68 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 That's where I found mine at a couple of weeks ago.....used the 40% off coupon too ? I'm feeling the need for another one soon.
Snake45 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 My HL had two on the shelf today. No Boss 302s today, though.
shoopdog Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 My local HL had the Chevelle today but no Mustang. They were out of the pickup and go cart kit unfortunately.
Bob Ellis Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Bad you don't have one, good Revell sold them all. I don't want Revell to go out of business again.
MrObsessive Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Yeah Revell's done so well with this model I can see them giving us more versions of it not far down the road. I sure hope this is a trend with them and we continue to see well executed models without proportion foibles that have plagued some of their cars in the past. Interesting enough, I still see a number of them on the 'Bay and the fellow that carries models at our club meetings still had some. He's sold a LOT of 'em though!
PappyD340 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I bought my 68 Chevelle and the 69 Boss 302 on Ebay my HL has not stocked either one or the AMT 55 chevy and 57 chevy gasser must be left up to the digression of the managers as to what and how many they order ?
ranma Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I just brought home my second '68 Chevelle. I got the last one Hobby lobby had. Lima Oh HL has the new Revell Boss 302 Mustang well 5 of them That's what they had when I seen them and when I left the isle. But still no '60 apache pickup kits.....

A convertible would be nice, but I'd like to see a Wagon and or an El Camino also.

MyBradKeselowski Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 My local HL has neither the Chevelle nor the Boss. It has never even carried the MPC Squad Nova and I've been looking for it for awhile now.

I suspect sales will cool down, now but a convertible or 1969 version will bring back the demand

Sort of the same at the 2 Hobby Lobbys closest to me, except no '68 Chevelles or '60 Chevy pickup yet, at either one. I just stopped in the nearest HL about an hour ago. It still doesn't have the Revell Boss 302 Mustang. But a HL about 20 miles away had a bunch of them last week. The nearest HL is in a very small town. Maybe that has something to do with it; stores in smaller towns are at the end of the supply chain, or something.
gui_tarzan Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I got two of the '68s on the first run from one of the online dealers. I'd like to see the base model version but not at the risk of sacrificing this one.
Mr mopar Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 pulled the trigger and got one off Ebay , there is none in western Canada .

Bob Ellis Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 there sems to be a lot on eBay for 20ish dollars.
echoxrayniner Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I managed to score two of the RoG kits but man... sadness ahead.

Chuck Kourouklis Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 OOF. (uh yeah, I think the hating on Revell AG boxes is pretty well illustrated and justified here) "Service Information", upper right of the Revell.com home page, links to the people to contact about replacement parts - unfortunately, it looks like ALL of that is getting processed from Germany right now.
