GarryR Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I recently received 2 kits from Atlantis. Both kits, right frame rail, part 16, is short shot. Anyone else have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this issue? I got an E-Mail from Atlantis earlier about some pre orders and a memo in it says the company has discovered the problem in kits like yours that were shipped and advises those who got the kits with this defect to call it and the corrected part will be sent out at no charge.

Atlantis replied promptly, mentioning that part 24, the steering link, was also short-shot in some kits. One of my kits had this issue also. They said there was only a short time during production when this happened. As John replied, Atlantis is sending replacement parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing here.... two kits, both had the right frame and the drag-link goobered up... Quick call to Atlantis, Rick grabbed new frame rails and drag-links for both kits, and put them in the mail!!! "Woopsies" happen with ANY company, but their SUPER PROMPT handling of the problem was not only impressive, but most welcome!!! Will definately buy their products in the future!!!

64Comet404 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I saw the Dragster kit on the shelves at the LHS yesterday. However, at $40 CDN I will be waiting a bit to make a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Porter Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 These made to my shelves and I must say I'm pretty pleased. The box is appropriately tiny so four kits on hand is about the same shelf space as two Moebius kits. Looking forward to seeing how they go out the door.

paul alflen Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Justin Porter, if they buy this kit from you have them open it and check it at the store! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryR Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 This may have been strictly an early production problem. The five kits I had preordered from Steve Iverson arrived last week, and are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it, and had no issues with the frame rails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they were called that is because they were listed for $.49 each. Now $18.99, $27.00 or even $40.00. That's sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I remember paying $5.00 retail for kits. I remember paying $500.00 for rent on a house. I remember financing a used car for $5000.00. So What? I'd prefer to pay less for new kits too. But, I'm not the one in charge of Inflation in this economy. So, Either the kits is worth it to me to pay the price, or it isn't. In fact, I have been making that same subjective Judgement about relative kit values, since I started buying my own kits with my own money in 1980. If I want the kit badly enough, I pay the price. If I don't, it stays there. All of us do the same. And I remember reading this same argument in the reader letters column of every Car Model magazine of the Modern Era. (SAE, Car Modeler, & Model Cars) It happened at the $20.00 price point particularly loudly. So, this is an old and stale discussion. Do I like the prices? Nope! Will I pay the Prices? Yep, but only for a shrinking number of kits. Will the prices get so high that I only can afford a few kits a year? Most Likely.... It happens. Nothing I can do about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
