Dave Van Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 They say details next week..........let the rumors flow!!!!
mchalal Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Didn't they buy the Revell 1/16th Dragster/Funny Car kits? This was a hot topic back in March, then it sort of disappeared. I hope this wasn't just a rumor. Would love to do a vintage rail

Tom Geiger Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 There was some Johan tooling that Moebius was supposed to have...

OldNYJim Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 A good detective would probably be able to match those numbers on the tooling to old kit part numbers and figure out what they might have there ??♂️ Where’s McNally when we need him?
RSchnell Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 According to the post on FB, Atlantis says no Monogram or Aurora molds. That narrows it down some.
PintoKING Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Hum... I "predict" Renwall, Testors and Jo-Han molds. ?
PintoKING Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Also maybe Doyusha-Eldon? And I won't dare talk about Palmer-Winneco..... ?
PintoKING Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Ohhh, ENTEX, with their fabulous truck turbine engine!

1972coronet Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 If there's a grip of Jo-Han stuff in there --- and it's restorable or in decent condition --- I'm going to die !
Tom Geiger Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 That Johan tooling Moebius considered.. still being shopped around? That’s my prediction.
SfanGoch Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Atlantis also has many of the Revell Part Packs molds, as indicated in FB.

Rob Hall Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Those Revell Parts Packs were a dud when they were last reissued, weren’t they?
Mark Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 The engines didn't do that well, so the motorcycles that were to follow weren't released. The engines are great, but being early Sixties items limits what can be done with them. A lot of the original parts packs like the bumpers and interior parts didn't do that well back in the day. Those could be found new and unused at swap meets or even at old hobby shops well into the Eighties. If the old Revell double kits could be pieced back together, now those might find buyers. That might be problematic because some of the parts from those were later used in the Miss Deal Studebaker kit. Atlantis may or may not have the tires, as other newer kits use them also.

I'm sure they could sell a buttload of Bantam and Fiat bodies, and the hot rod frame sets too.
