Exotics_Builder Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 We are still seeing only reissues, but in many cases these have been adjusted or damaged or missing molds repaired/replaced. I wonder when they might get to brand new molds. Here’s what I saw: 1951 Chevy Fleetline (tin packaging) 1965 Chevelle Wagon – older box art 1966 Mustang – older box art AMC Gremlin - stock. Coming in Original art series. It will be in a larger box that carries a picture of the original art that can be framed. AMT Amtronic– original box art and supposedly the glass is corrected to right color Arnie Beswick '69 Super Judge GTO Funny Car – older box art Barnabas Vampire Van – They just got the sample done in time for the show Chevy 100th Anniversary '57 Chevy Bel Air (newer tool) with photo-etched parts and engine wire (tin packaging) – previous pro-series newer mold in tin package Dirty Donny "Vantasy" Chevy Van Ford Vantom Van Ghostbusters’ Ecto 1 Hot Curl – Hot Shout, Gurl and Hot Curl Meyers Manx – Should be out late December/early January. Nostalgic box art and hamburger stand cardboard piece is included. Monkeemobile Petty 1/16 Nascar Charger – This was at last year’s show as well, but looks like it is getting closer White Western Star I didn’t see the slot car variations of previous plastic kits that were announced earlier, but I could have passed them up. Some neat die cast was also on display as well as their Star Trek series (I didn’t take any shots of those) Thanks, Gerry This way to the photo album:
Dr. Cranky Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Oh, I can feel it, next year I better make more room for more kits. I want them all, and I want them in triplicate!
Junkman Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 What about the RR Engine next to the Ecto? Them isn't going to reissue the Looney Tunes Train, is they?
Nick Notarangelo Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 As my wallet screams to it's self in the corner,I laugh hideously.
Casey Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 The Original Art Series box art for the Gremlin is gorgeous.
Casey Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 What about the RR Engine next to the Ecto? Them isn't going to reissue the Looney Tunes Train, is they? The RR and Wile E Coyote kits are already out and in stores, but I don't think they plan to release any other Warner Bros. cartoon based kits.
gasman Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Is AMT doing a 2011 Camaro as well. I noticed its up for pre-order on another website, due out in November.
Joe Handley Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 My wallet just ran off and hid somewhere! I think mine just went "fwoosh!" again.........LOL
tabsscale1 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Don't have to worry about my wallet with this stuff nothing excites me to buy any of them!!!
Darbo Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Doesn't look like they will get any money out of my pocket,but if the re released the stock '67 Impala they would get some of it!
martinfan5 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Looks like 2012 will be the year of the reissue , the only kit that I want and will get if I dont get it sooner on evil bay is ecto 1, it was one of my first kits I remember building.
Rob Hall Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Is AMT doing a 2011 Camaro as well. I noticed its up for pre-order on another website, due out in November. Interesting..probably in the style of the Challengers. I've read they are doing an indy Pace Car promo..
Edsel-Dan Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) I definitely will get Several (Cases if posible) of the Ecto-1A!!. I am Curious, Which color will the Meyer's Manx be cast in? White, Translucent/transparent Purple, Or Transparent/translucent red? And, Will this issue of the AmTronic include the Cardboard Base for the Rails? The Millenium issue I have doesn't, so the rails can not be assembled. Edited October 21, 2011 by Edsel-Dan
Eshaver Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Where's ole Evilone , heck I figured he would have bought the whole run of Ecto- 1 kits on a pre-order ? Ed Shaver
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 WoW its goint to be another great year! I want Ecto-1! oh and many others from there..... Chevy Van also.... 2 of them..atleast...
Junkman Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 The RR and Wile E Coyote kits are already out and in stores, but I don't think they plan to release any other Warner Bros. cartoon based kits. Lucky you guys. Nothing will ever be out and in stores in England in this time and age. If there ever was a country suitable for socialism, this is it.
gasman Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Interesting..probably in the style of the Challengers. I've read they are doing an indy Pace Car promo.. It was confirmed on another board that AMT is doing both a 2012 Camaro Coupe and Convertible.
Draggon Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 As for me, I am very disapointed the 57 Chevy is a re release of the newer tool. I heard tell that it was the original version with all of the cool vintage hot rod parts and wild custom options. I guess I'll have to get on online. I am anxiously waiting for the Manx, but does it look like the bodies are molded in metalflake colored plastic? Wow, that would be neat.
Exotics_Builder Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 It was confirmed on another board that AMT is doing both a 2012 Camaro Coupe and Convertible. My bad, I missed this is in the initial report out. Only new tools are the 2010 and younger Corvettes and Camaros in their Showroom Replica series. If as the Corvette’s already on the shelves, they are unassembled promos, but are glue kits. 2010 Camaro Convertible – Show Room Replica Series 2012 Corvette Coupe – Show Room Replica Series 2008 Corvette Convertible Pace Car – Show Room Replica Series

Only one body in a case has the metal flake and there is no way to tell. It is part of a program by Round2. Edited October 21, 2011 by Exotics_Builder

If there ever was a country suitable for socialism, this is it. They are a bit pricey, though, at $23.99 each. Something tells me the licensing fees added to the retail price of these kits, as the very similar Zingers! kits retailed for almost $10.00 less. I'll keep an eye out for some cheap ones if you want, Christian.
