I can't speak to having any particular knowledge of what they'll reissue next, but I do know that I want them to reissue the new-tool '57 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine, possibly with better wheels than the C4 Corvette leftovers the kit was initially issued wearing. Aside from that, I think most of the Mueller era tooling is in pretty solid circulation right now. 

[GMP440]

My gut feelings are that we will see an announcement of the AMT 67 Galaxie this summer or in the fall for a release in 2025.  Also, next year the 68 Dodge Coronet Feverbee, then announcements of the MPC 69 Coronets.  Other possibilities:  MPC 71 Cyclone, AMT 66 Comet, MPC 72-73 Dodge trucks, a correct 68 or 69 Hemi Underglass wheel stander.  These are just guesses and speculation.

My predictions...another iteration of the new Dodge Charger tooling.

And another new Bronco. Different trim level, maybe possibly a 4dr/

Yessss. SRT Hellcat, please! 

[oldcarfan]

I would look forward to any of these. AMT has reissued the Chevy van many times and it seems about time they bring back the Open Road Camper version.

I really hope to see Round 2 backdating or cloning many of the old MPC tools. I'd love to have an early style Pinto in the Runabout and wagon versions and really all the old car, truck and van kits they did would be nice in their earlier versions. Perhaps they could backdate the Dodge van, add the windows back to the clear tree and do a proper Cannonball van?

Why exactly are we worried about 2025 when Round2 is going to debut as yet unannounced 2024 projects at NNL East on Saturday?

  Thanks for mentioning about the NNL East.  I forgot that is happening this month.

Hellcat and 4 door Bronco Sasquatch!!! Hope round2 can take notes on this!

I would love to see a 70/71 Cyclone clone but....

My concern with the 70/71 Cyclone is that was no promo and the kit has a fairly complicated chassis/interior/engine compartment (the chassis and engine compartment are similar to the 71-73 MPC Cougar). The complicated aspects of this kit require more engineering and tooling investment than some of the other clones.

Additionally the complicated chassis/engine compartment in the Cyclone kits is less than great. Effort is required to eliminate the wheel sag and to get the car to sit correctly. I have a 71 rebuilder in the pipeline and it will sit on a Revell Torino Chassis.

Just thought of this last night.

With the recent re-release of the Chev C1500 truck, I think a revised and improved 454SS is inevitable.

Any 1970-1971 Mercury Cyclone CJ. I LUV that front end.

With the interest in pickups I would think Round 2 would be looking at a redo of the C1500 454SS truck and some of the other old AMT issues from the past. A reissue of a '68 Impala SS would be nice as well with the prices being sky high for original AMT versions now. I think any number of the listed kits would sell well. 

[mikemodeler]

The list reads more like a wish list and not a prediction, let's see what they show off this weekend before thinking about next year.

[av405]

I'm hoping for improvements/further variants of both the rounded line truck trucks (2WD would be sweet!) and the OBS trucks (bench seats please!).

[Mr. Metallic]

Well, the doors at NNL East should be open. Don’t keep us all waiting ?

[Mr mopar]

I just seen on Facebook round 2 is doing a 2021 widebody charger hell cat .

Since Round2 has acquired the Testors/Lindberg tooling maybe it's time to re-release one or both of the versions of the Boyd's shop truck/Eddie Van Halen ride (the different versions are a Quik build and a full detail version)

Thanks for sharing the photos , @Mr mopar. 

The SSlasher 1972 Chevelle has my attention - for more reasons than one :
1.) That's the old MPC kit , c.1983 issue 
2.) What's going on with the C-pillar / DLO junction ?

IIRC, that MPC kit has a BBC / TH-400 combo.

[stavanzer]

I'd like to see more about the '92 Ford Pick Up kit.

Yeah I’m curious if it has anything new besides (hopefully) decals.
