• Did R2/AMT not make enough 1960 Ford P/U kits????
  • Demand probably higher than expected. The Dodge Demon kits sold out fast also *NM*
    • Good news in a back handed way!!!! *NM*
    • More sales means more reissues,what can they find next? *NM*
  • I noticed the same thing. Decided I wanted one but will have to wait awhile. *NM*
  • There's plenty more on the way, the next shipment is due in the US before the end of the month ....
    • Thanks Sir! *NM*
    • Am I right in assuming that R2 will make as many as people want to buy?
      • I believe they are becoming the former. Squad Rod Nova and Datsun PU for example.. Smaller runs to keep demand high and prices up. The old days of huge runs and low prices are coming to a close. Getting to be more of a niche hobby. *NM*
        • That's an interesting take, but I wonder if it's more a matter of perceived market demand. Those two kits are less popular subjects, and perhaps they don't want to over-produce and be sitting on unsold stock? Of course this is all just speculation on my part. *NM*
          • Also... the Squad Rod Nova is about to be re-released again soon as another version (don't know if the Squad Rod parts will be in it, but I suspect most of us will just be happy to get the Nova back). *NM*
      • It does irk me that there's people on "the other site" posting pics of the 2. 3 or 4 copies of the '71 Demon kits they got at that big box store and my local shop couldn't even get his full dozen pre-order so I don't have one yet even though I'm the one who told him about,,,
        • IMHO he should have looked after you… Regarding supply, it sounds like the timing around CNY had the biggest effect on the current supply situation, so hopefully it all will be resolved soon. The demand should equate to more of these great releases from R2, though. *NM*
        • That’s interesting as I’ve got mine. *NM*
          • From Scott? yea, he didn't have one for me. I really believe in suppoering your local shop but that's gotta go both ways, I think. *NM*
            • Not Scott but someone else you know. *NM*
  • Not trying to be mean Dave, but...you snooze, you loose. I bought the Dodge P/U and the '60 as soon as I saw them. *NM*
    • Didn't really have any interest when they came out.........But
    • The '62 Dodge. *NM*
  • My local supplier got shorted on his order and I only was able to get one.....Anxiously awaiting a restock ..... *NM*
  • My local hobby shops have gotten virtually none of the new releases the past 2-3 months. I and my wallet are way behind! lol *NM*
    • I just saw a new display of amt kits at a store that had the demon, mach one and gto kits. Various prices . *NM*
