espo Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I would want a couple of the Taxi's just for the Boss 429 engine. Don't normally collect die Cast but I will be getting a couple of the '61 Catalinas because I think they're a neat looking 1:1 Car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it more lulz is I had looked up the box art to make sure I got the name right, because "Cal Drag Combo" is pretty vague even if it is the original name. It's clearly a Galaxie staring at me, and it says Galaxie on the box... BTW for anyone who's interested apparently they've added a new hitch for the trailer...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 So does anybody know if the AMT '69 Daytona Postage Stamp Edition kit is essentially the same (meaning as crappy as) as the MPC '69 Daytona kit that was at Ollie's for $9.99 a couple of years ago? I'm assuming it's at least the same as the older box art versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Since the Arnie Beswick '69 GTO funny car was reissued recently, maybe we will see a retooled '69 GTO with and without hidden headlights, and the available Judge package. It's also time to restore the '66 GS tool and also tool a '67 GS. The GS is probably the most under-represented muscle car from that era.

250 Testa Rossa Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 What about bringing back the 1/24 slot car/static kits like the Chaparral, Hussein, Elva, and Lola? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xingu Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 All, Somewhere along the line (I am not going to go thru the entire thread) you guys went way off topic again. I am not sure why we, as a group, can't focus on the topic at hand or start a new one when a random thought jumps into our heads, but the OP has asked that I remove the entire thread. I am not going to do that as there is still a lot of good information mixed in here. In the future, please make an attempt to remain on topic. These long threads, with long runs of off-topic discussions, are the scourge of this board. Folks do not have the patience to read thru all the "junk" or "I wish they...." posts to get to the information they are looking for.

That is why none of the posts were removed, but at least have a little respect the OP of this and many, many, many, many other threads and keep discussions close to the intent it was created for. So by your reasoning Tom, it is OK for all the other members here to go to one of your, or anyone else's, Under Glass threads and post all about their builds. Even if it isn't the same make, model or by the same manufacturer as yours. We have to draw lines somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i build car kits, i prefer to build truck kits. honestly, for me sometimes nice box art is just as interesting for me to look at as building the kit. regardless of what truck was chosen, i would have bought this if they had a truck pulling it.
