Talking Proud owner of 16 unopened models.

Well, to make a long story short, I just recieved 4 cases, with 4 models per case. But... the only downside is they are old cars, classics. Im not saying they are bad, but I would prefer a few modern day cars I dont know if the brands are really anything good. They are all either Revell Monogram, or AMT Ertl. They range from a 67' corvette coupe, 61' Ford rancho, 32' Ford 3 Window Coupe, 57' Chevy convertible, 40 Street Rod, to and old ass Tweedy Pie 2? and even a 00' corvette. So, how did I do? Maybe I can put a few up on Ebay, so I can get a Skyline.

How much did you pay? Amercian-made kits sell between $5 and $15, depending on the subject. They usually hover around $10.

Which Skyline do you want?

Very lucky KB.

The kits you are talking about are very hard to get here in NZ.

There is a Mustang kit that has 3 models in it by Revell that i have been trying to get for a long time but can never find.

I saw that kit at one of the stores in my town. I don't know if they still have it. It was about $22 I think.

I checked, and the only Revell model we have is an Impala low-rider 2-in-1. They said we do carry the Mustang kit, but who knows when it'll be back in stock... Sorry!

Oh, yeah. The price is $14, but I get 35% off, so it's like $9.80. Is that a decent price for you, Warren?

Works out at $25.00NZ
It sells here for about $45-50.00NZ...So its half price with out the shipping costs...what ever that would be.
