Chuck Most Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Roger... you just HAD to remind me of the existence of that Torino kit, didn't ya?
Aaronw Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Does the turbine car include a detailed turbine? Its nice to see some of these old kits coming back, not terribly excited by any of them in particular but I'll get at least 1 of each. I'd love to see an AMX, the old kits are way beyond what I'm willing to pay for one. I'd love to see some of the other AMC cars too.

I would like to but there's a licensing question to resolve because of the Movie connection. That may be why they weren't an exact match in the previous issue that Okey did.
Edsel-Dan Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 The Turbine kit here is the Snap kit. aka, Curbside, No engine. It is the same as the last issue "E-Z Build" The Full glue kit has not been available since Seville took over Jo-Han
Deathgoblin Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I WANT the Cutlass kit! Glad to see The Jo-Han kits are getting a second chance. It was a shame they fell out of issue in the first place, most of them were outstanding.

And the sad part was Seville actually was said to have 'cleaned up' the tooling before that run. Basically the cleanup amounted to softening the script detail and losing the door sill engraving altogether, as far as I could see. That reminds me- IMC? Please don't bother with reissuing the kit if the tooling is truly shot. I'd love to see the SC Rambler make a comeback, but if it's as nighmarish as the last reissue was molding quality-wise, I'll pass.

I'd love to see the SC Rambler make a comeback, but if it's as nighmarish as the last reissue was molding quality-wise, I'll pass. From what I've heard and read, any and all reissues that can be manufactured with existing, usable ex-Johan tooling have already been done. In other words... there is no backlog of potential Johan reissues, because the tooling is either too incomplete, too badly damaged to make it financially viable to bring it back... or it's just flat out gone.
Chuck Most Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I've heard that as well.It was mentioned that the Rambler, Cutlass, and snap Turbine are being reissued first because the tooling is in good shape (and they even managed to provide some Olds Rallys for the Cutlass). Being that there is talk of refreshing/replacing molds if demand arises, I'm just hoping they keep molding quality in mind.
Modelsbyroni Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Cutlass looks good on the box art Steve. Makes me wanna buy a couple.

Let's support the effort with lots of kit sales, then we'll get more new releases Hopefully I won't be buying too many kits in the future as I already have WAY too many kits already. It's getting kind of old buying new or re-issued kits just to throw on the "pile."

I have neither of those in my stash, they'll be tossed on my pile as soon as they're available.
rollinoldskoo Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) very cool to hear.... i build an old promo one with a roof grafted on from a 77 monte carlo a few years ago... i hope they put in some trunk lines and proper taillights Edited December 16, 2011 by rollinoldskoo
RickRollerLT1 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) When r these commin out? I gonna bet they'll be hobby store exclusives 'cause if they sold these things at Michaels or K-mart, ppl will think these are some lame I-crapp games to shut up their ADHD 4-yr old. Trust me, at AC moore, some kid was lookin at a model kit and though it was some Xbox game... Sad isin't. Edited December 20, 2011 by V-spec
davysmodels Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) GREAT NEWS. Looking forward to getting a case of the Cutlass'. I had the real car. It was one of the best. THANKS IMC. Has a release date been estimated yet? Thanks . Edited January 15, 2012 by davysmodels
MyBradKeselowski Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I want a case of the Cutlass, bring them on IMC ! ! !
Tonioseven Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I can see a couple of the Cutlasses in my future.
Tye Brown Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Do they have a web site? I looked and couldn't find anything?? Cheers
Bluzboy66 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I'm in! I'll take some Cutlass kits, and I'll be interested in seeing what else becomes available. Mike
buskid Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I just found a model of the Bad Medicine from Monogram due out this year! www.ehobbies.com/mon854937.html
2000-cvpi Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I know this is a little impatient, but does anyone know if or when the Cutlass and Turbine are going to be released? I just want to build them both without spending a small fortune to buy original one's.
