RSchnell Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I might have to get one of these. My family was in the grove equipment business, one of our customers had one of these that he drug out of some barn in the area. You don't realize how well built those trucks were until you look at one up close in person. I'd paint it like his just for the nostalgia factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got their other Mack truck (the log hauler, compete with HUGE styrene logs), but I’m sure I’ll end up with this one too… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife drags me there all the time.....I'll check it out. They have 50% off coupons all the time if your on their mailing list. A few Atlantis kits I'd get @ 50% off.

I’ve never stepped foot inside one, but there is one nearby to us…will be worth a visit if they have a decent selection of Atlantis stuff… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife goes to JoAnn every chance she gets. One time they will have 6-10 different kits, then next time zero. Sounds like JoAnn may be getting back into carrying kits..we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s another dragster, along the lines of the Mooneyes kit that seems likely to be next (because they posted in-progress box-art of it a few weeks back) and there was a T-bucket kit they teased too…I’d bet that C-cab is pretty far down the list right now. Anyone notice that the Tom Daniel Sidewinder kit has been quietly taken off their website and can’t be preordered anymore? A few places still have it available to order, but I don’t see it on Atlantis’s site anymore, and between last week’s weekly email and this week’s it’s been taken off the ‘coming-soon’ list 😕 I’m sure there were pics of it on their social media too but I can’t see them on there anymore either… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul alflen Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) I think the sidewinder trademark is owned by Stelantes? There was a Dodge Sidewinder show truck in the 1990's. Google it. Maybee the Atlantis/Tom Daniels kit will be renamed and rereleased. Time for new box art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That makes the "Sidewinder" box art rare!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to scout those hobby shops and stock up the stash!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited September 25, 2023 by paul alflen Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Just googled it now! General Motors has filed for that "Sidewinder" trademark. Their corporate lawyers are on everything that is trademarked by them!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a Kit Bashed Tweedy Pie, and I think it was done by Keeler back in the day. Revell never made that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I seem to remember that the C-cab was going to use existing running gear (Tweedy Pie, as mentioned above), but with a newly tooled body. I hope that one makes it, because it's a cool looking kit! Ditto that blue T in the background, although the nose doesn't do that particular build pictured there any favors (in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll find any Atlantis Sidewinders out in the wild to 'stock up' on...not sure any made it out of the Atlantis warehouse door in the first place... I remember they were talking about using some kind of brass or copper plating instead of chrome for that one - maybe that's causing a slow-down and we'll see more in due course. Fingers crossed...

niteowl7710 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The Sidewinder is still their banner picture on Facebook and that change (to the Sidewinder) was just made on the 14th of this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Well, for all us doubters (or, at least, concerned citizens), Atlantis posted a vid from the NY Toy Fair today, with a Sidewinder prototype proudly on display: Plus, this T-bucket that they’ve been teasing for a while: Excited for both of these! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
