No talk about the Round2 1971 Dodge Demon ?

[gotnitro?]

I'm on the pre order list..excited to actually crack the box..but I better grab the duster kit before it arrives 

[66c10]

Looks to be a good kit will be fun to build 

[gtx6970]

Thanks all. 

 

I just put 3 of them on pre0order via Hobbylink

 

I have an original I started years ago but broke the tail light bars on one side so it got shelved.  

I used to own a GB5 blue 1971 Demon 340 and want to build a replica of the car

For those of you who are getting impatient to receive their Demon,

I believe there's certain "ancient rituals" you can preform that may conjure them up in a more timely fashion. ???

That looks really nice Bill, and just reinforces my thought to not use the hood stripes and spoiler "when I get mine".

IMO the hood stripes work if its a light color. White, yellow , butterscotch or maybe a light green,

 

On a darker color,,,not so much. I much prefer a body color hood . 

 

The wing I could live with,,,or without

I'll have to take a closer look then. I live in California, so , in theory, I should be able to find them on 'Mart's site. A cursory examination earlier today didn't exhibit the 1971 Demon 340 - that's why I was wondering if you saw them in person or on their site.

I did a search too and nothing came up.  But here is a FB link showing someone that bought 6 at a Walmart.

One of the guys on the Spotlight board said he bought 4 yesterday but had to go to 3 stores to find any.

WM in my area have not carried model kits in over fifteen years, except for the temporary Christmas displays in the aisles.  Even then, not all stores; in fact this holiday season only one area store even had that.

Where I am in Indiana, I have 3 different Walmarts within my regular work/home orbit.  I've only seen kits at one of them, and the last time was probably 2 years ago.

Seems like they sold quickly at the time, which is why I'm surprised I haven't seen them again.  I've pretty much given up trying to understand the reasoning.

So if they are showing up now at W-M, hopefully the usual online vendors will get their stock soon and ship the preorders...

How in the devil did 'mart get the LM29H1 before anyone else ?

Because they buy in such vast quantities, directly out of China, and have (since Covid) chartered their own fleet of container ships and actually gone through and had Wal*Mart specific container trailers built. They undoubtedly bought (via Round2) directly from the factory and shipped to themselves directly from China direct.
