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.

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

I gotta think it's a rebox of the recent (2022) AMT1328 '66 Thunderbird kit.  I can see the tonneau cover illustrated on the side of the box.

"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
