Round2 Walmart kits with unique box art.

[Volzfan59]

Just got back from picking up some groceries at our local Walmart. No kits out yet. Spoke with a stocker and showed the photo from this thread. Told that there is still a ton of Christmas only toys out back in the trailers. Right now toys are competing with duck and deer hunting floor space. Said to keep checking back.

Those are some nice boxes.

Tough to tell from the picture, but I'm guessing it's a rebox of the GMC "Deserter".  Wheels/tires in the illustration look a bit oversized, which would match up with that scenario.

They did recently tool up the Chevy grill for the Sodbuster stepside, so I guess there's a chance it could be a Chevy.  But I don't think they have a Fleetside Chevy tailgate that they could use.

Notice that the '60 Ford truck is one of the kits with different box art.  Looks like the box is the same size as all the other kits.  For that $19.99 price I'm guessing it doesn't include the trailer.  Interesting development.

Over the weekend I stopped at one of my local Walmarts to pick up some Valvoline.  Was surprised to see they had an aisle display of kits, but it was the "old" selection that's been popping up over the past year.  None of this unique box art.

There's no trailer in the 60 f100 kit

"Customizing Series" ??

I wonder which AMT '57 Bel Air kit that is?

The 57 is the old tooling, but decontented, only stock parts and a decal sheet with big graphics

That's really okay though, for a 20.00 Walmart kit.

I never thought I would live to see the day when 20 bucks is a good price for an american brand model kit

Mine had them during the last 10 months. But they sat there not moving. Then they must have clearances them because one day. All gone. Sure to pop un on Ebay or Marketplace. I doubt that seeing they didn't move quickly. They won't bring them back.

Yep, when I stared building model cars, they were $1.39 retail ($1.09 at local discount store), then they jumped to $1.49 when more pieces were added, then up to $2.00 for pickup trucks with opening hoods. You could get a tube of Pactra or Testors glue for $0.10 and small jars of Testors paint for $.10 as well, the larger round Pactra paints were $0.15, 50% more than Testors! 

Those were the days, and a McDonald's hamburger was $0.15, fries were $0.10, and a large pop was $0.15.  Times change, and once prices go up barbecue of inflation, they never come down.
