Casey Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I was in a LHS about a month ago and saw a new reissue of the Vega kit . I didn't buy it but now wished I had. Any one know about it? Which Vega, Harold? The Twister Vega kit, with the early Monza S nose on it?
slusher Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 The twister vega sold like crazy but very few built one. l built one and not a good kit. l am looking forward to see what AMT does...
Dr. Cranky Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I'd like em to re-release all the Chevy C1500-C3500 trucks. Maybe even the 58 Belvedere, that thing is gettin hard to find for a decent price. As well as the 3100 50 Pick Up with lowered suspension, etc . . .
bigphoto Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 How about their 1/43 scale line as it was quite extensive.
Exotics_Builder Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 The 72 Cheyenne Fleetside! Been after that one for ALONG time, just cant seem to get a good deal on one unfortunatly. What's a good deal? I've seen a couple in the $30-$40 dollar range. But, if it is to be reissued, I'm assuming it will likely be in the $25 range
nboldman Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 What's a good deal? I've seen a couple in the $30-$40 dollar range. But, if it is to be reissued, I'm assuming it will likely be in the $25 range 25 bucks is usually what I have to spend and when I try tof get one off ebaay I always lose out.
Casey Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 How about their 1/43 scale line as it was quite extensive. They reissued a few in the late '80s, but the usually chromed parts were unchromed that time around...not good. Save for the VW Beetle, Custom Cougar, and GT40, they are not too hard to find for $20 or less.
2000-cvpi Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I would love any Pinto, Volare, Vega, or any seventies American car or truck. All of the craftsman series kits would be great.
CemetaryAngel81 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I'd like to see the old 65 Pontiac Grand Prix or 2+2 get reissued,those are getting expensive
MsDano85gt Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 -I'd say my 2 cents are in on the mpc warlock dodge and the revell ramchargers and the Boondocker blazer! Also truckwise I'd like to see the longbed ford "destroyer"(the one molded in red with bike) and thunderbolt one rival! (The one molded in black)
Rob Hall Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I did'nt see the '57 Ford Custom or the '50 Olds on the list at Towers in up-coming kits,are these now on hold or am I missing something here.Also clicked on the new Testors Glitter Clear and a pic of Fabric Black popped up.Would like to have some Fabric Black,not sure of the Glitter Clear. Tower Hobbies lists the '57 Ford as Late Dec and the '50 Olds as 'Late Sept', the '62 Corvette as Late Oct..who knows if the months are accurate... but those are Revell kits..
Casey Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I did'nt see the '57 Ford Custom or the '50 Olds on the list at Towers in up-coming kits,are these now on hold or am I missing something here. Those are future Revell kits, and there is release info on them here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58841&st=0
38 Crush Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 You know Casey, Now that you mention that name it strikes a bell. It might have been the twister Vega. But It was a brand new kit, not an old one just put on the shelf. I'm going there again this weekend. It probbably won't be there but I will LOL!!!
jbwelda Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 >I would like to see them reissue the old '62 or '63 Ford pickups (with go cart) ok now here is something that makes sense! even without the kart (and/or triumph motorcycle) the trucks would be nice. but of course what would REALLY be nice would be the truck, the kart, AND the motorcycle! one has to dream big!
Nova-ss Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 There is so many I'd love to build before I die.I hope AMT does themI to would love to see all that has been listed.I hope they will.I try to get a couple of all that is re released....just to help show them they need to do more with the re releases.I have emailed them many times to let them know I happy with the direction there going.I know there is some problems with some of the kits releases,but so far I have not had one trouble with any of them.Thanks,Chris
disabled modeler Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Id be happy if they would just show up around here but if I could make requests they would be... 61 to 63 Ford pickups 64,66,67,68,69 Bonneville 70 Bonneville HT 71,72 Dodge window van 71,72,73 Dodge 2WD pickup 70s Chevy open road camper van(mini motor home) 68,69 Coronets 66 to 70 Cadillacs 71,72 Pontiac Sprint II other station wagons of the 60s that have not been out in many years 60s Ford or Chevy van 67 to 69 Falcons 66 Skylark GS 67 to 70 Chevy Suburban 70s International Travelall 61 Olds 88 66 to 72 Tornado etc.
Tony T Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 MPC 71 Mercury Cyclone - Street and Grand National versions please! AMT 67 Ford Galaxie convertible 3 in 1 please! I'm sure I can come up with a few more!!
slusher Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 l think most of AMT kits are gone for good or we would have seen them by now...years ago
nboldman Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Id also like to see the oh so expensive imperials make a come back as well.
bigphoto Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 They reissued a few in the late '80s, but the usually chromed parts were unchromed that time around...not good. Save for the VW Beetle, Custom Cougar, and GT40, they are not too hard to find for $20 or less. They were part of the "Class of 69'" I believe as it was the Stang, Camaro, Chevelle, Torino and I believe the AMX. I have a few GT40, 36 & 48 Fords but would like to see the Jag, 68 Stang, 68 T-Bird.
