robo37 Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Like to see them out again I know the 1 hasn't seen light of days for years but they way they are bringing some of the older stuff back maybe they can,,the caprice would be nice to see again since they brought out the dart again the others shouldn't be that hard either
disabled modeler Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 I have the Nova wagon but its in need of a lot of parts and work sadly.
Fat Brian Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 The Caprice was out in the last couple years and the Galaxie has been out in the last five to ten years.
the other Mike S. Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 With the prices I've been seeing on fleabay for the most recent reissue of the Caprice, they should reissue it again. I'd like to get a couple more. If what they say about the Supernatural '67 Impala 4 dr being true (the 2 dr fastback mold was not "destroyed" when they did the 4 dr sedan), I'd like to see R2 do a 4 door sedan version off the '76 Caprice.
slusher Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It wood be nice to see the Wagon race combo but not with the Malibu wagon...
unclescott58 Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Just finish building the Chevy II Rat Packer. What piece of you know what. Details are weak. Parts don't fit well. A beautiful body that only reminds one how pretty the original non modified Chevy II must have been.

I'm going to "un-alter" the wheelbase on one about halfway (more like the real ones) and put it on a new chassis. Another one I'm gonna take the wheelbase all the way back to stock and make a Pro Street or street freak out of it using the '66 Nova PS chassis.

Daddyfink Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 The Nova Wagon was converted into the Boss Nova and I doubt they will re-work the tool again. The Rat Packer is based on the stock Chevy II and that never came back as a stock version. Maybe it is time for them to make a new tool of these cars. The Galaxy was a shelves warmer the last time it was issued. I bought mine on discount when they got put clearance , and so was the Caprice. But maybe new Retro Box art would make them sellers.

That's too bad about the Nova. I would love one of those. We can hope though, right?

stavanzer Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I'm regretting selling my Boss Nova wagon a few years ago. Friend on mine in our Model Club, was looking at it, when I took it to the meeting, and offered me twice what I had just paid for it on the spot. That included the shipping! I thought I'd made a pretty good deal, as I planned to go back to Pegasus Hobbies and get another one, the next week. Well, you how plans go...... Had a family emergency happen, and I never did get down to Pegasus. By the time I did (a year later) the Boss Nova Wagons were rapidly becoming "Un-Obtainium". I'm still kicking myself. I need to start looking at the 'Bay, and track down another. (And agree to pay the price...)

There are several on eBay right now, and the prices aren't THAT bad (considering what common new kits sell for).
ChrisBcritter Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 And if it gets reissued, maybe the rest of the chrome tree can be fully reopened (which is all that's left of the stock parts).
stevez Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 wasn't Moebius coming out with a Nova/chevy II gasser couple years ago there was a prototype built. It's has sort of been back burnered, with Moebius sale.

stavanzer Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Latest rumors about the Moebius kit, IIRC, was that the new owners(Pegasus Hobby), are aware of the of the work, but are still busy with the complications of the purchase, so it may be sometime before anything gets done. All I know is what I read here, so I could be completely wrong. Since the Test Shot was a 3D printed piece as far as I know, the "Kit" exists only as CAD files right now. I suspect that since some work was done on the project, it may see the light of day, at some undetermined future date. However, as well all know, translating 3D files to completed tooling is an expensive process, fraught with small roadblocks. It is my belief (and only MY belief, unsupported by any inside knowledge) that 'someday' we may see this kit. However there is a Metric Ton of money and work that will be needed to make it happen, and that things change with Model Companies all the time. So, Pegasus Hobby owns Moebius, and Moebius did the CAD work. That is all that is definitive at this time.
Chris in Berwyn Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Maybe they can sell their CAD drawings for the ‘64 Nova to Salvinos.
