TarheelRick Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Between doctor appointments this morning I stopped by my local WalMart, haven't been in there for awhile. Anyway, checked the clearance aisle and found two bottles each of a beautiful purple and a pretty nice yellow nail polish, $.50 each. Was walking by the toy section heading for the electronics department and noticed on a center aisle kiosk a couple of the AMT 32 Ford Sedan Deliverys, 50th anniversary Camaro, 64 Olds F-85 Convertible $19.97 and the 1977 Pinto $24.97. The Olds and the Pinto followed me home. When I was checking out I asked the friendly assistant way there was a $5 difference in the kits, her answer was "You have to pay for the Coke logos."

SfanGoch Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I looked it up. Focus Hobby, 75 S. Main Street, maybe? Edited September 15, 2021 by SfanGoch

Place downtown called Focus. 75 S. Main Street. Kind of the archetypical cluttered shop with all kinds of stuff. Used to be a camera shop, hence the name.

CabDriver Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Another one for my Boyd kits collection! Just need the 55 Nomad and I’ve got all of the AMT American Hot Rod series - the Nomad seems like it’s the rarest of the bunch though… Paid $15 for this one shipped, which wasn’t too unreasonable I thought…

It’s blue or silver on the box ?.. 1

I know the one you mean - I think that's actually from the AMT 'Rides' series if it's the one I'm thinking of. Similar kinda deal though - they put some but 24" wheels in the box and a logo on the art and called it a collaboration Testor's did have a Boyd's Chevy pickup in their lineup though - a replica of the one Boyd built for Van Halen: https://www.ebay.com/p/1100627540 They're not cheap though...
Modlbldr Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Got this from wrenchr yesterday. Glad to have it! Now to find some bumpers for it. Later-

NOBLNG Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Got a good deal on these at a flea market. They have all been started so I hope they are complete. The Mustang I just got for the wheels and tires and engine. Edited September 18, 2021 by NOBLNG
