Jared Roach Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Bought this: and got this: First time I have actually experienced that. I looked in the box and said "what the heck?"
Austin T Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 One time I bought a model and it had no body in the box,does that count as a bonus?
Eshaver Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I think I'm missing something here ....................... Ed Shaver
JunkPile Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I've heard about a rare '70 Road Runner kit with double instructions. It is worth thousands and thousands if left factory sealed.
MikeMc Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I guess two of them is better than none I can send you a stack....new and unused!
Scuderia Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 lol i bought a kit in HS i think it was grand national and it had two decal sheets. That was kinda neat
espo Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I bought Revell's '50 Ford pickup, Got two sets of the "big" wheels and tires and an extra decale sheet. That was a "first" for me.
Scottnkat Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I bought a '68 Roadrunner and got the body of a '69 GTX when I unwrapped it. Almost everything fit, but I needed to change some stuff on the body.
Casey Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Again with the incorrect placement of the sideview mirrors on the box art build.
Rob McKee Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 There is someone out there that bought the same kit and is missing the instructions.
moparmagiclives Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I got a revell merc yesterday, it came with two packs of axle pins and exhaust tips.....at least I think they one is extra.
RickRollerLT1 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I myself have gotten alot of kits that had bonuses, other extras, different parts, or sometimes, an unexpected surprise! I once bought a Revell Peterbilt 359 from Michaels that contained a free issue of SA (the Sep '11 issue) along with a subscription fill-out forum under the instruction sheet. Being I allready had that issue, I brought it to the club mtg to give away as a frebee, then a member wanted to pay cover price for my unused copy cause his got coffee spilt all over it from the LHS owner when he was reading it, but only took $2 off cover price for his own sloppy mistake! So along with paying $12 for a truck model and an issue of SA, I made back about $6 off the mag. Another time was where I bought an open '04 AMT GTO on clearence for a buck with coupon @ Michaels. The box was s**t crammed packed and was heavily taped up. As I was curious with what used napkins or poor built-ups were in there, taking a peek would be difficult without having them think I was gonna steal it!. After paying for it, I opened the sucker up and along with the kit being mostly complete, contained an Monogram '69 Super Bee kit sealed in the bags crammed in along with: - 15 bottles of Testors paint in various colors, but luckly the ones I use alot - 50 Testors brushes - 5 tubes of glue - Two sets of '22 wire wheels w/ tires, I believe from Revellograms '86 Monte Carlo - and lastly, i'm not kidding here guys, a RUBBER DUCKY toy! Quack Quack!!! At that price, shiz here is a steal!
Junkman Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 One time I bought a model and it had no body in the box,does that count as a bonus? Definitely yes. The bonus is you can't ruin the paint job.
rickd13 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I've heard about a rare '70 Road Runner kit with double instructions. It is worth thousands and thousands if left factory sealed. That is hilarious.
Junkman Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 That is hilarious. If it wasn't so close to reality.
bigphoto Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I got a revell merc yesterday, it came with two packs of axle pins and exhaust tips.....at least I think they one is extra. So thats where mine went!!!...............LOL

Zarana-X Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 The last two Tamiya kits I've opend have had 2 instruction booklets.
Austin T Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 I think this was intentional but the round 2 50' chevy PU has SIX instruction booklets.
The70judgeman Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I think this was intentional but the round 2 50' chevy PU has SIX instruction booklets. I was suprised at that. They're each in a different language. Makes the box seem heavy when you first pick it up.
1320wayne Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I've had the extra set of decals bonus a couple of times over the years but the biggest surprise was purchasing a Revell Monte Carlo Nascar kit and finding a Thunderbird kit in the box instead. The decals were correct but the kit itself was wrong.
High octane Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Bought this: and got this: First time I have actually experienced that. I looked in the box and said "what the heck?" You're supposed to send one instruction sheet back to Monogram, and quickly.
