mk11 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Guys are still trying to milk 1-200 bucks out of the original sealed kits in that series. Hilarious. All you're getting for that extra 75-150 bucks is a grill, basically, and box art if you're desperate for that. mike
my80malibu Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I noticed that the latest update is showing late April on these kits, hope they get here soon! Thats the same Update. I got from my Hobby Shop Today.
Chris White Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I email Mobius and asked I have been reading, on some Model Car Magazine Forums, that Moebius will be releasing a late Model Ford Pick Up truck in 1/24 or 1/25 model scale. Am I, too bold in asking if this is true, and if so, how soon before I proudly give you my money to have one. Just a little eager "There response" We are working on a 71' Ranger, it will be out later this year, that is about all the info that is available regarding it right now. Thanks.
Matt T. Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I'm hoping Dave's hoping to have them for NNL East (4/26/14). Model King usually has a big vendor area at that show. Fingers crossed! Now I see that Moebius Models will also have a booth at NNL East! Could this be the debut? Fingers stuck in crossed position. Any updates, Dave?
chuckyr Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 From what I hear, there will be a new variation of the reefer trailer announced at that time too.
mikemodeler Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Now I see that Moebius Models will also have a booth at NNL East! Could this be the debut? Fingers stuck in crossed position. Any updates, Dave? That would be awesome if they were. Maybe I should cash in some air miles and fly up??????
bpletcher55 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I hope they have them ,I would like 2-3 of them ,
Tom Geiger Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I will confirm that Moebius will be at NNL East. I've been in touch with Dave Metzner and they will have a two table display. He hasn't shared any secrets with me, but I don't believe the kits will be available at the show. A little bird tells me they'll be on open water at that time. Revell will also be at the show with a three table display. Ed Sexton will attend. We also had Round 2 coming, but sadly John Greczula emailed on Thursday that they regret that the logistics won't work for them this year. Sad because this would have been the first year we would have had all three major manufacturers in the house! Generally the manufacturers don't sell kits, they just do corporate displays and talk to folks.
redneckrodder Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hmm i wonder how easy it will be to bash these with an amt 78 kit
mikemodeler Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hmm i wonder how easy it will be to bash these with an amt 78 kit Why? There will be a 4WD version of this kit, eventually.
Matt T. Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 There will be a 4WD version of this kit, eventually. I wonder how quickly the different versions will follow the initial release? Weeks, months, years? I wasn't paying attention to the Hudson releases, so I have no idea how Moebius does it.
mikemodeler Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I wonder how quickly the different versions will follow the initial release? Weeks, months, years? I wasn't paying attention to the Hudson releases, so I have no idea how Moebius does it. Some pictures were leaked that showed this series of kits with a 4wd set up. It hasn't been said when they will have the 4wd version out, but considering they already have it tooled up, I would say it will be months.
Casey Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I would say it will be months. I would agree. I'm sure Moebius will have something definitive to say in a few weeks in New Jersey.
niteowl7710 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Well if you figure there are 5 variations of this kit, and we know for sure what the first two are, I imagine those final three (presuming no further Model King involvement) will probably get spread across a good 18-24 months. Moebius has the two new car kits to issue as well, so I don't expect they'd necessarily express issue out all of the truck kits in the first 12 months. Between the Pontiac, the Comet, and 5 variations of this truck tooling they've got kit releases for two years (and that presumes no Model King involvement with the two car kits) without actually having to do any NEW new kits. Perhaps they'll pivot back to another large truck kit since the Automotive side of things is "planned out" for awhile.
tooltas Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I hope so a new pete or kw ice road truck would be kool
mountaindewd Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Moebius mentioned in a post on their FB page that they'll have news on a trailer in a few weeks. Maybe something completely new or a variation of the Great Dane they have or.....
chitownbri Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 hopefully they got the licensing issues resolved with thermo king and can now give us a proper reefer unit.
mikemodeler Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Just noticed on the Tower Hobbies website that this kit is now shown as being "late Jul", sure hope that is an error. I know they don't always run current with other outlets as far as release dates, maybe we will know more after the NNL East.
tooltas Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 cool I hope by july I would be happy happy but I have a show in fall and moebius comes to it all time.
mk11 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Is this a recent pic or older mock-ups? mike Edited April 27, 2014 by mk11
