Looks like all four sold. Probably that Kevin guy from Ohio!  

I am guessing why it wasnt showing up when I was looking for it, they were all sold out

Revells  online store isn't even listing it as available yet.

They wont tell the end of the month.

Yeah, the whole point of RPP is to give brick and mortar shops a head start against the internet guys. 

I can't buy one for myself until our regular stock comes in , but I did take the shrink off one of our RPP  stock. Was really surprised to see the red pinstripe pre-painted on the wheels. Nice touch! I'm not going to open up the inner bags because I have to sell this but here are a couple sneak peeks.

Can't wait, can't wait...

Thanks for sharing those pics Brett,i'm going to be ordering a couple from my local hobby shop soon.

Local hobby shop only got two in and both were gone before I got there. Ebay seller has 4 and brick and mortar store got 2... Another local shop had no idea they were even released yet.

I wish i could take credit for that one Casey, but I got skunked too. At least you guys knew where to look at first. I never even got THAT far. LOL

They're not unless you're an RPP shop, and not everyone is.  Usually RPP comes in around the 20th, this was a bit early.  You only get a handful, and it's a package deal where you get a pre-determined (by Revell) number of every new kit every month, you don't get to pick and choose. Not everyone does it.

So do you re shrink wrap it, or sell it as is?

 

[dshue76]

Thanks for the pics, it's nice to see what decals are in the kit.

[hgbben]

It's almost like being a kid in the middle of December waiting for Christmas

[Ben]

I'll be snaggin at least four of these!!!!!!

[Drake69]

Just one is fine for me.

WANT.

I snapped a few quick pics of the Olds at the NNL East yesterday at the Revell table. Now understand that this is a pre-production buildup and is not perfect. All looks good so far from what I see though!

You, Know, that will look really nice next the the S&H Torino. Sort of a "Best of the Malaise" era vibe.

Now that's funny.

Good looking kit.

Those are even better pictures,thanks again for sharing although it looks like someone has been playing sideview mirror baseball with the passenger mirror.

 Chalk up another good reason why mirrors should ALWAYS be pinned!

LHS had them last week. I will buy it:( 

[SSNJim]

I picked one up at my LHS yesterday. Much nicer kit than I expected. Too bad about the hood - I'd much rather have a flat hood, but I'll deal with it.

[RickRollerLT1]

Wouldn't the Monogram Monte Carlo hood work with some trimming?

completely different shape.

I see, but I thought the looked similar.
