Went to a couple of shows today and picked up an unbuilt AMT '67  Toronado with one missing  A pillar, an unbuilt Monogram slant nose Porsche 911, a built up MPC McLaren M8D, a started Tamiya  1/12th scale Lotus 72D, and an unbuilt complete AMT '27  Model T touring/ XR6 double kit.

The Supra seems to build up nice too, from what ive seen.

I cant resist when it comes to a JDM kit with an engine.

Let me know if you need parts for the M8D. Got a parts kit.

Picked up the Grump Vega at Walmart, today. The last time I walked into a store and saw this  kit, I was 15 years old! I got the Mark IV on Ebay, shipped, for just under $30. I couldn't pass that up.

You made out on both deals. The Universe must have decided you had some Good Karma coming. ;)B)

Ordered one of these a month or so ago and the eBayer was trying to pull some kind of scam…so I got a refund, reordered elsewhere and it came in 3 days!

Apparently! I especially couldn't believe the deal on the Mark IV. It's untouched!

Got this in today! A beautiful kit. I'm excited to have it! I got it off of FB Marketplace for about half of what they are going for on eBay.

Didn't JoHan make the AMT Toronados? :unsure:

JH did 66. Amt or MPC did 67 and 68 I think. 69-70 JH again, thru 72. 
I remember amt box for 69 or 70 though. 
Mark knows. 
I recall MPC box in there too. 
they made Mannix and Californian out of it

Mannix roadster was MPC, predated Californian iirc. Ugly as hell. Dave Darby pointed out MOC giblets dissimilar to JH and AMT. 

So as mentioned JH did amt versions 67-68-70. Only sold 66 and 69 annual. Amt did 70 annual. JH later issued 70. Iirc it was stock only. 
Mannix was late 68  Californian was 69
