    I was there yesterday talking to Ed. Such nice people! Glad to see all the kits that are coming out or being re-issued. I even put in my request for a few new kits as well....and then we both laughed. Like they never hear requests from modelers for new kits! 😃

    Did you find out what scale the 79 Camaro was? I wish Revell would do a 78 Pro Stock Camaro body and they could use the existing early 80's P S chassis molds to go with it. A Grumpy's Toy and Lee Shepard Camaro would look good in the curio case. A 1970 1/25 scale Boss Mustang would be great too. It would add to the great 68, 69, and 71 Mustangs.

    • @GordoGrande69
      @GordoGrande69 3 місяці тому

      Curiously the prototype box art says 1:24 but the description says 1:25. Tim's video shows the same basic kit that's been 1:24 since it first came out so I'd guess it'll be 1:24 like the rest of the old Monogram stuff is/was.

    I wonder if the Stranger Things Blazer is designed so they can do a pickup as a second variation. It's already a low-series trim level to be correct for the one in the show (although the latter should really have crank windows and I hope they fudged that little bit).

    Same old stuff: cars and planes, cars and planes, cars and planes... BORRRIIING!!! Where's the fantastic stuff!? All the sci-fi stuff? And NOT Gundam either! Where's all the GOOD Revell stuff that we never get here, but is all in Europe and the UK? UFO and ALIEN and the space program and all these things that are from American sources, but are only made in Asia and the EU, and if you can even find it, it costs a second mortgage. NOT acceptable! I want this hobby back the way it used to be! When a kid could take a couple bucks of his allowance and get an interesting kit to build. My first Enterprise cost two dollars. First Moon Bus 2.50. First Orion about the same, and so on... And fascinating kits! NOT just everyday, mundane, boring cars and planes, tanks and ships. ( Though I am building a lineup of ships named Enterprise.). Yeah, as a life long modeller I've been getting a bunch of the great kits coming out in recent years from Round 2/Moebius/Polar Lights and so on, both replacing the ones I had and getting the newer ones that were never made and released before. But I'm retired now, and every kit I buy is a "pearl of great price.". Young people who might be interested in the hobby just can't afford that kind of money. It ain't right! Anyway, there are still many fantastic ships, vehicles and props to be made and built by those who think outside the box. And, at the same time, I realize that "everybody's got something they call home.". And that has its place, but I'm just bothered by every one of these "New Releases" videos not having any new (or older) sci-fi stuff, just the same old run of the mill kits. And did you notice how much the sci-fi is out of stock, but the cars and planes are ALWAYS there!? Most recently, the newest deal is a kit is announced, then you wait and wait, and it's on pre-order, and not yet available for weeks and months, and you keep checking on it, and then one day to the next, it's out of stock! Bullshit! From not available to already gone with no in between? NO! I Won't Have It!!! Two most recent examples: the "translucent" Enterprise D and the 2001 space station. The dealers must not be allowed to buy everything up and then jack up the price online. NO! YOU WILL NOT DO THAT! That's an ORDER! It's the dealers who've diminished this hobby by turning it into a big money making scheme and ruining it with greed. Like Playmates killed the old Star Trek line with their "collectibility", so are dealers doing the same thing to the modelling hobby, with the help of the manufacturers. It's gotta be stopped, and we need to get back to basics. Dat's wut I tink!
