Snake45 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm about to get back into one of those Willys pickups I started about 10 years ago--especially if we do Round 3 of the BOYD build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Gotta love love how people rush in to let us all know how bored they are. The one thing that leapt out at me is the Johnny Lightning Cobra Coupe. Now, people have said that the problem with getting a reasonably priced i.e. under three figures Cobra Coupe kit, has been licensing issues, and I've accepted that, but here's Round 2 running off a bunch of little diecast coupes, and I'm guessing they figure they can turn a profit. So we have companies like Model Factory Hiro selling their gold plated multimedia kits, and Round 2 selling their cheap little diecasts, and you tell me that nobody can turn a profit selling a kit that falls in between these two extremes? Call me just a wee bit skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The Chevelle is pretty cool, but the other stuff is pretty much, meh, or stuff that is already on the market and of better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty cool, but if it wants to come live at my house, it needs to grow up to 1/25 scale. If it overshoots and lands on 1/24, that's acceptable too.

stavanzer Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 That '77 Firebird is just lame. Sad that there are no optional parts. Not even an extra set of wheels......... Three Colour Decals! Be Still My Heart! I'm glad the Willys is back out. Pitch the decal sheet and you still have a Great Gasser kit. I like the Red Line Slicks too. The Trailer Doubles will be a hit with Truck Guys, so that is a Home Run there. That new Lift looks nice too. I just wish all three of those Garage Series kits, would make to either my LHS or Hobby Lobby. Afraid though, Imma have to break down and mail order them. Good Month, though.

oldcarfan Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I'll get another of the Trans Am to do a Rockford conversion. I really hope they will decide to do an Esprit or Formula version someday. They had those parts in the kit back around 1974 or so. Maybe the molds are still around. Speaking of that, how about backdating it to the 1976 version just for variety?

Steve I wish they would show regular photos of the releases instead of these videos. One quick glance and you will instantly see if there is anything of interest instead of wasting several minutes on a video showing mostly uninteresting stuff.

ZTony8 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 What gave the guy the idea that the electric style hoist is hydraulic? They should have included the Willys coupe body in the kit like they did years ago and re -engineered the kit so the tilt nose would line up with the body without major work.

I just move the bar at the bottom until I see something interesting, and then let it play. Rarely do I have more than 1-2 minutes invested in watching these things.

Rusty92 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Still being new to the hobby, I like the reissues. Thanks Round 2. Remember, most of you guys have seen this stuff before, some of us have not... maybe these reissues you dislike will interest someone else..

espo Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The Willys Gasser will be nice to have again. Not as good as the Revell offerings but there're many of years apart when it comes to the time they were developed. The Lift looks interesting to me. I have to wonder just how many COPO Chevelle's were ordered with a vinyl roof ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
