Yes, all MCS kits are curbside, despite some have the hoods moulded separately.

I do own the Monte Carlo, so after this frenzy, I'm now only missing the LTD to have the entire series.
Onced this is achieved, I'll do a public slagging in the review section.

Christian...your lucky...I have been after kits from the series for years now with no luck. My family owned many real cars like them plus I like promo like kits anyway...to me there underrated.

I like promo based kits so much, that they are meanwhile pretty much the only vintage kits I'm after.
Thanks to being underrated, they are more affordable than comparable annuals.
It's also highly unlikely that they ever get reissued, IMO a big mistake the manufacturers make.

I agree with you...same there hard to find at a affordable price.  I think its a big mistake for any company to underrate these kits there in demand by young and old builders.  Thanks to some of the companies we do get some here and there like the AMT 61 Ford Galaxie,70 Buick Wildcat,etc.  Id buy any of the Motor City issues they would bring re-issue...they were great kits just like the old Johan snaps were.  I have a obsession for these kits and promos myself...would be nice to see them again sometime.

Picked up this kit at an estate sale yeaterday.  There were an amazing number of '80s and '90s issue Fujimi, Tamiya and Hasagaua sports car kits there. LeMans cars, formula1 cars, european touring cars etc. 

Multiples of about every Fujimi Porsche "enthusiast model" kit for $35 [CDN] a peice. Not a great price but still cheaper than the bay.

Compared to some here, my acquisitions are pretty small, however, they do please me. To that end, I just received this '69 GTX in a trade. It has a minor issue, but I'm confident that that'll get sorted out.

Found the 1/12 Foose Camaro at Hobby Lobby in Bristol, CT and used a 40% off coupon. I was quite pleased!

I went to Model Empire yesterday just to see what was in. I went through the vintage kit section and found a 1/32nd scale All Star series 60 Thunderbird. With my luck Round 2 will now re release that old kit. Looking for the others.

I had to wait a week for mine to ship. I was hopping it would show up before the family dinner. I had ordered a  couple kits for the Nieces and Nephews along with my 2 bobble heads.  A skeleton and Spider Man figures.

Jesse...Where did you find that at...?...its too cool not to have.

I found it at Burbank's House of Hobbies, and oddly enough, in Burbank, CA

They only had a couple in stock and I went ahead and grabbed one. I know that Auto World has them and I might order another one from them, but, getting one instantly and without shipping charges was great!
