Great wheels, great tires, but for $21 I'd expect TWO sets of each. No sale here, sorry, not at that price.

... I'm not sure they'd be so keen on selling a kit of a Dodge Demon. Remember, it was changed to Dart Sport at the behest of several church groups and at least a couple of full denominations.

Hope so. I have several sets, but they are perfect for the kind of "day 2" cars that I favor.

[stavanzer]

Ah, thanks, Gerry. That looks like that might indeed, Be "it".

If so, not a thing I'll need.

"Actual retail price of the item..." will be less than $20.95. I think they were around $13-$15 on the street, so $17 or so seems reasonable for 2022.

Looks like it might have the Mini-Lite Wheels.

It looks like I’ll be saving a bit of dough over this coming year. At least with buying new stuff from Round 2. With what I’ve got waiting to be built, that’s okay with me.

[slusher]

Really nice box art..

[Mr mopar]

Seen this on FB  some more kits coming !

80 Monte Carlo is the only one I'm interested in, but it's not going to be around until summer, so I've got time.

Good to see this one return, as it's a good value, IMHO, when factoring in the chopper and trailer. Previous release:

[OldNYJim]

Meh, there's a few there I'd like - I think the '32 Phanton Vicky is the version with full suspension and exhaust (as opposed to the molded-in stuff on the other AMT 32s), so I don't mind being able to pick up a few of those, I'd like an Avanti for my Studebaker collection and I'll be interested to see if they manage to make a cool package out of the T Buggy kit

[Mr mopar]

Wow Nothing  on that list to get . Round2 better start digging deeper and harder .

I wonder what's included with the 1953 F-100  Gulf  kit ?  Decals only ?  It's one of my favourite kits , though the moulds' age has been , um , showing for the last few issues .

1956 Victoria is another great kit . I still have the c.2010 issue in the stash . Perhaps another one won't hurt .

1967 Zed... Still have the most-recent issue ( or was that a '68 ? Essentially the same kit , IIRC ) . Another nice piece .

1980 Monte Carlo ( or is it an '81 or '82 ? ) . Other than the engine being , as it always has , the older representation of the venerable SBC ( and is sans power steering ) , the rest of the kit is nice : lots of bonuses , and just plain fun to build . certainly I'm not alone in hoping that Round2 will eventually backdate this kit to the  Wheeler Dealer  iteration ( last issue with the single headlights ) . 

Where's the 1976 Caprice Coupe ? 

[Smoke Wagon]

I’m excited about the Monte Carlo. 

This one however is a bold/surprising move considering today’s political and cultural climate...

That's the Modified Stocker hauler set; the '53 Ford pickup and four-wheel trailer.  The original had the decal sheet from (I believe) the Peterbilt tow truck, which had Gulf decals for the doors.

Yeah, that one was very disappointing to see on the list for obvious reasons. Hopefully they will reconsider and choose another Barris subject to reissue. ?

I would expect the Modified Hauler kit to be the same as last time, with Gulf decals. The combo kits (2x Piranha excluded) must be selling well.

It will be 20 years since the last issue.  Hope that they release it this time with the original box top...and with real styrene.  I'm in for a few!

I can't find Q1 2022 or the complete Q2 2022 anywhere - even on their FB page.  Do you have the complete Q1 and Q2 lists by any chance or a direct link to each?  Thanks.
