Hello I hope some of the historians can help me out. I have an AMT A129 model a roadster from the street rod series. I also have an AMT A129-250, model a roadster from the street rod series. The boxes are identical except for where the part number is and one has A129 and a blank space and the other has A129-250 in the same place on the box. My question is which one was first? Is there a difference? Why the two numbers as from I can tell it was never reissued in that form, but AMT T254 the mod rod is basically the same kit? Can someone explain the difference and is there one that's more "collectable"? Any help?

Originally the kit number included the price, 129-250, was sold for $2.50. Rather than reprint boxes every time the price changed it was deleted and just the kit number was put on the box.

Hmmm. Sounds good. I also noticed that the one with the 250 on it has an ad for a contest on the bottom of the box. and the one without it does not have the ad on the bottom.
