In Response To: I don't think Highway Scenes did very well for Rev-Mon. *NM* ()

I've got a few of the old original AMT cutouts, as well as a few of the Round 2 ones. They're neat, but some take up a lot of space. One or two per year is probably a good idea, but the idea can be overdone and wear out its welcome--

How well do kits with cardboard displays sell? Like the Revell Rat Fink Diorama? Or the AMT Meyers Manx with diorama? Was just wondering how well they sold for the model kit companies. *NM*

  - When I had the shop I had both the Talladega & 37 Tudor as these 2 kits wern't available separately but the H'way scenes kits were dearer & didn't sell as well as other Revogram kits. *NM*

    - My built collection is strictly vehicles, do have a few 1/24ish characters. *NM*
      - I like the rarity factor. Often when original kits turn up, they are in mint unbuilt condition but the display is missing. Same goes for the AMT kits that had records included *NM*
        
        The Talladega I have was like that *NM*
- I'd be curious about this one. Can't imagine selling well. I have various MPC Jeep kits because I like them. This one I bought at a show (I knew what I was getting) for $5 because wheels were missing.....PIC
  - That one is an outlier...it sold more to Godzilla fans than to model car guys *NM*
  - New one on me! *NM*
