• Hot off the presses, The 2 mystery models from Round 2 being displayed at NNL East this morning..photos courtesy of James Duff
  • Well, that Demon is certainly a welcome addition, It's had a few false starts over the past couple of years, I think They'll sale a bunch of those, the truck was not a well kept secret, but glad for it none the less. *NM*
    • I thought the pickup was a really well kept secret, but perhaps my ears were not tuned to the right social media feeds??? TB *NM*
      • Would not be a hard conclusion to draw, though. The most I'd ever paid for an MIB was the '68 release.
      • I'm not usually that in tune, but with all of the discussion about it on here the last couple of weeks, I thought it was a fore gone conclusion it was happening. *NM*
        • There were TWO different trucks there, the 60 is the one that has been all over, the 63 was a well kept surprise. *NM*
  • This "fake box" was in a group with other model boxes that Model King conducted a poll on about 5 years ago for Mobius to do.We got the updated Grumpys Vega from Round 2, and the Ford ramp truck from Mobius that was in the group.
    • These are the other four kits that were in David Burket's (Model King) poll 4 or 5 years ago. As for me I would love to have the Mavrick.
      • My understanding is that a measuring session was completed (a couple of decades ago, now) on the Power Wagon. And that Dart ProStock was originally planned as an extension of the Revell mid-1970's drag racing kit catalog (see my book for more on this). Would be great to...
        • Bill Depuy told me that the drawings were done, but when Lindberg was bought out by some investment firm, that project was shelved. *NM*
      • Yep on the Maverick. But if it was race only that may hurt sales? If they did -
      • These are the two other models from David's 2018 poll that were actually released.
  • Great news on both. Spotlight will be getting more of my money this year! *NM*
