horsepower Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Well maybe now I can find someone that has two they might be willing to sell in the original box art. One to collect and one to build, like I did on the roadsters.Don't worry, there will still be shady types that will keep boosting the prices on the current releases and trying to sell them as rare collector versions since they are now officially discontinued. ???

socal76 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Daddyfink, according to Tim's post announcing this the new kit will have a new kit number. I guess I worded it incorrectly for what I wanted to try to get.Horsepower the new releases will have a new kit number so the shady types will be easy to spot.

lysleder Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm curious to see if the tools are just repaired, or wether the kit is "improved and better". That is, if they took the opportunity to fix those negative skeleton door panels and other known hiccups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cool. Now maybe we can have 15 more pages of speculation and rumors about the new boxes. I heard that there's an international conspiracy to do with the boxes and that someone in China doodled on the box art so they couldn't color copy the boxes anymore. It's a secret tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 They're trying out round boxes. The delay was retooling kit so the trees would fit in the new boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would assume they would change the box art so they can advertise them as 'NEW!'...otherwise, it would be a hard sell to push them unchanged.just curious, why would you think it hard to "push" them? They were already selling very well before they became a hot ticket item to markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Actually if they made changes to the mold it is smart to change the part number. When theey issued the charger with the chopped top they didn't change the partnumber and there was no way to determine if one was getting the kit with the revised body.

That makes perfect since, if they do indeed change anything. I just could not understand why they would sell any differently if the kit was released same as before with no changes.

Rob Hall Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 That makes perfect since, if they do indeed change anything. I just could not understand why they would sell any differently if the kit was released same as before with no changes.it wouldn't be perceived as 'new' by the average modeler if they used the old box art. New box art would help differentiate it from the previous issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next they can try round tubes, like Quaker Oats! Maybe THAT would work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I can imagine the parts packaged like Pringle's potato chips,stacked on top of each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 They are continuing to work on the reissue(s). No insider (or external) info on the timing, though, beyond what they said in the initial announcement about the reissues. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
