S. Svendsen Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Here's another surprise coming from Model King. Dave Burket sold out the last run 59 Imperials and wanted to give those people who missed one a chance to get one or buy another. This time it will be reissued with all new retro box art and decals by guest artist Daniel Johnson. Tom Miller (bluemoose) also once again lent his talents and built the stock box art models while Daniel built the custom version. Apparently this will be a very limited run and it should be out by the end of the year.
MrObsessive Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Beautiful!! That should be worth buying just for the box art alone!!
jbwelda Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 does that bumper sticker decal say: "I <heart symbol> LOVE MODELS"??? thats funny! someone needs a proofreader. and "Ask Me About My Grandchildren"??? :D
lizardlust Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Good to see the Imperial get another shot - even though I bought 2 this summer for fear that the supply was dwindling!!!
1320wayne Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 This is definately a welcome announcement for those of us that may have missed out on them.
Phil Patterson Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I bought a couple of the earlier "resurrecting" issues, but I'll be getting a couple more of the new ones, if only for the box art and decal sheet!
bigphoto Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 does that bumper sticker decal say: "I <heart symbol> LOVE MODELS"??? thats funny! someone needs a proofreader. and "Ask Me About My Grandchildren"??? I love models doesn't every redblooded male! LOL
mr moto Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I need at least one more. You never even see them on Ebay any more!
RJWood Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 This is definately a welcome announcement for those of us that may have missed out on them. Strangly enough, it looks as though it may have been better to have missed out on the previous release. I just can't get over the box art work on this kit. Brilliant!
darquewanderer Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I'm glad to see this one return. And this time with far superior box art. I personally found the junk yard scene of the last issue to be in poor taste. The new decals are looking good too.
Tom Kren Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Might have to buy another one of these Love the box art!
