unclescott58 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Even though I have no interest in this kit, I think it's great that it's coming back for those want one. What harm is there in kits coming out that I don't like, but others do? No body is forcing me to buy this kit or any others. I get a little tired of hearing others put down kits they're not interested in. Scott P.S. Sometimes I'm guilty of putting down kits I'm not interested in. And I'm wrong when I do.

bobthehobbyguy Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Me I enjoy buying and building a silly kit like this once in a while. Great stress relief. Get relive the early days of childhood but with better building skills. For those that don't like the kit fine don't buy it.

Its called intolerance. There are many that feel that if they don't like something then nobody else should do it either. My feeling is obviously round 2 feels that wil sell or they wouldn't be doing. Hopefully it will do well and they will continue to release more kits. They have been doing a great job with most of the kits they've done.
keyser Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Nice build of Dave's conversion. Pretty funny kit, liked some better than TD stuff. Glad it's back. JB's not a hater (hater hater hater?). He did some nice builds of King T and Wild Dream, which are 2 of my favorite kits ever. We also like AMBR winners like XR6 and Ala Kart. Some stuff is just outside interests. The JDM piped, cambered snoozefest 4doors and trucks do zip for me, nor do the US economy cars from 74 on, or Monster trucks. I always like a nice build, even if I don't like the subject. Weird showrods vs. more mainstream rods just a wonky subset. The trikes/Bugaboo/Stingaree do zip, but the Lug Bug/Beetle Bus etc I'd love to see again. Need California Street Vette too, I've only got a builder. Most fun is bashing. No wrong way, no errors to fix but your own. Awesome release from more "rigorous projects". I'm completely against lactose intolerance, for sure. Any other kind of intolerance just doesn't matter, not worth the effort.
Dave Van Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 you do realize, Dave, that your post exemplifies exactly what you are saying in your post. the cardboard cutout one was very kool. very well done. that doesn't mean the world is (re)ready for a kit. that's the word from the "haters". I hate that word. that makes me a hater hater. jb Two notes........ My laser cut kit was cut from a high grade styrene plastic and thus was VERY close to a exact copy of the vintage kit. It assembled like any production kit with same techniques. I also did a Cashbox, Yeller and Mixer kits as well...... Two....... Now wait.......I voice my dislike for folks that come into a post and only post negative comments or how stupid something is.......But if I do the same thing I'm the bad guy?!?!?!?!! Seems like to me it's all fair....per your rules....right??? Not buying a kit is fine......getting to a almost personal level about how stupid a kit is.....to the folks that DO live these parts of our childhood.....take it personal. Thanks
Daddyfink Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I have plenty of serious kits in my collection, but, there is always room for my childhood. Yeah, I am still a big kid with kits! As advertised before, don't like it? Don't buy it! And for the why? Because there is either a demand or this may be one of the few tools that still work with little dough.
jbwelda Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) oh I am out of here. have fun with your toys, boys. jb Edited October 20, 2014 by jbwelda

Thanks I'm curiuos about the lasercutting. What do supply the laser cutter and what software did you use? What was the cost?
Dave Van Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I own a 25 watt table laser. I use CorelSraw as design and input to laser. Cost ranges from $2 a minute plus set up to $10 a minute depends on who and what machine used.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I love the Lil Hot Dogger. Old cartoon show rods at their best. Does anybody have a problem with the Red Baron?
unclescott58 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I love the Lil Hot Dogger. Old cartoon show rods at their best. Does anybody have a problem with the Red Baron? I may not be a fan of Lil Hot Dogger. But I love the Red Baron. That's like asking if because I like Corvettes, I must like Chevettes (actually I do kind of like Chevettes, but that's not the point). They're both Chevrolets. But, not exactly the same thing. The Lil Hot Dogger and Red Baron are both in the show rod style, but again, not exactly the same thing. And it is okay to like one, both, or neither. Scott
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Oh I was just asking to see if people disliked the Red Baron and the Hot Dogger. They're in the same cartoony style.
Mr mopar Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 Hey Dave is the cashbox still being offered by you? I would like to get one.
Tye Brown Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I can't WAIT!!!!!! for this to come out..THIS is one of my grail kits man..I LOVE this thing & thank you so much Round 2 for bringing this back..I hope we see some more in this line man
jbwelda Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 dude you need to share some of what you're smoking! jb
Tye Brown Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 DUDE!!!!!! What's not to like about this cool kit man And NO I don't share lol
38 Crush Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 They're all the same Engine & Chassis with a different building on top of it !!
Junkman Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) So out of all the kits that could potentially be reissued, they selected this bloody rubbish? Are they spiking the water in South Bend, or what is going on? I IZ DIZAPPOINT Edited December 29, 2014 by Junkman
Craig Irwin Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Junkman, Round 2 is reissuing everything they can, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I feel your pain.
Roadrunner Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Oh I was just asking to see if people disliked the Red Baron and the Hot Dogger. They're in the same cartoony style. I liked the Red Baron, but never had a desire to buy or build it. I never heard of this hot dogger car until today. I do like some of the old Weird-ohs cars though.
Sledsel Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I think it is kinda cool. Wish it had the dog catcher and net tho
