stavanzer Posted June 6 Posted June 6 When I was a Kid, my Dad always called Wishful Thinking, "Thinkful Wishing" because he always had a clear direction to his wishes. As a ran errands this morning, I had some thoughts about kits I'd like to see back. Not Clones, Not New Tooling, just plain old kits that I think are still very marketable. Some of them are: The '34 Ford Pick, but with the Stake Bed, and the Dual Rear Tires restored. The '25 Model T Ford Paddywagon. Brought Out Once, it should probably do well again. The '34 Ford Tudor Sedan. Issue it as a 2'n'1 kit, and use Coke, Sprite, Hostess, or Sunoco decals. The MPC '32 Chrysler Phaeton. (be nice if the Ma Barker) parts were restored back to the Kit. The MPC '27 Lincoln Roadster. Gangbusters or Connoisseur Classic, I don't care. The '27 Model T Ford Fire Engine. Just some of my thoughts. None of them really need anything but Fresh Decals and and of course Fresh tires, but I think all would have decent sales potential. What are your thoughts. The Rules for the List. No. New Parts. (if it hasn't been tooled, don't ask for it) No Re-tooling. This is just for Clean the Tooling, Open the closed off sprues, and Run the Tool Kits. Any New Decals are fair game. Think of how Round2 can leverage current IP's for new kits. (Coke, Sunoco, Texaco, Hostess, USPS, Ect.) Alan 2

Santa brought the MPC '68 Toronado and the Chuck Miller Fire Truck show car. I was deeply disappointed, but built them both anyway. When I left for college, my younger brother, with whom I shared a bedroom, threw all my model cars into the trash. I got the Fire Truck when it was repopped a few years back, and would LOVE to build the Toronado again

Jordan White Posted Saturday at 04:12 PM Posted Saturday at 04:12 PM Just give me more AMT/Ertl-era kits, they are some of the best domestic kits in terms of detail and fitment. 1
Mark C. Posted Saturday at 04:17 PM Posted Saturday at 04:17 PM 10 hours ago, Stef said: So many awesome kits! A few personal grails I don't yet have: MPC Super Charger (74 Charger) I would like this as well, but would rather see them clone a ‘73 or ‘74 annual kit, as the Super Charger was an attempt at changing the Petty NASCAR back into a street car. A lot of the original engraving and detail was lost from the conversion of annual to NASCAR and then back to street car. However, if it’s just a matter of digging out the Super Charger tooling and squirting some styrene through it vs an expensive cloning project that might not happen, then yeah, bring back the Super Charger (IMHO of course). 1
