August 2024 Round 2 New Product Spotlight

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

NO EFFING WAY. You did it. You have rereleased the 66 hemi hustler. After months of nagging there it is, the very first car kit I built in 1966. Thank you round2

[@daviduruski7848]

Same kit as hemi under glass,different decals

[@slotcargene1]

One of the early kits I built as a kid was the Hemi Hustler Barracuda rear engine funny car. It had a few reissued over the years, Including as the Hurst Hemi Under Glass. I'm definitely going to have to get a couple !!!

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

​@@daviduruski7848 Not Exactly the 2019 HUG Kit Had Plastic Tires 😢😢. This Has Vinyl Tires😂 YAY !

[@etmccaus]

"Hemi Under Some Sort of Translucent Material." Ah, the joys of licensing...

[@alexflint7228]

We still need the 1959 Buick Invicta to make a comeback. Even if it's a curbside.

[@markbehr88]

Just bought a mint original

[@user-rf7mg1sx3e]

I am so happy to see AMT finally releasing model kits that are not based on annuals from the 60's. Kits that have separate frames and rear axles, and more detail. I can finally start looking at building modern AMT kits.

[@urbanurchin5930]

.....Yes , I saw a comment last month where someone was crying about the multi-piece frame and suspension detail on the 1966 Riviera kit . BOOOOOO HOOOOOO . I am a huge fan of THE MORE PARTS - THE BETTER ! I am a scratch builder and often do complicated kit-bashing to create one-of-a-kind builds . The multi-piece sub frame / axles / suspension are one of my favorite parts of this hobby . Sometimes , I will buy a kit - just for unique parts that I can't make from scratch .

[@r.tistry6631]

I want to say your videos are great! And I ordered a kit a little while back and there was a production glitch with one of the parts trees. Your customer service dept replaced the bad part right away and I was able to finish my build without issue! Love this company!

[@HinterlandCustoms]

Love seeing this, great customer service goes a long way.

[@slotcargene1]

WOW! After a summer of no new HO slot car releases, The BRE(Brock Racing Enterprises, Pete Brock)releases are fantastic, especially the Bobby Allison car. Not too many people know that the good ol' boy Alabama Gang NASCAR star Bobby also jumped into the Trans Am 2.5 liter C/Production wars with the BRE team. The Thunderjet Willys releases are going to be snatched up by the collectors The yellow w/green #4 is a copy of the Aurora XLerators II model, which was an inline motor chassis, borrowing from the G-Plus and had a longer wheelbase, so the original TJet molds had to be modified with larger rear wells. But this is obviously the standard wb body. The other one with red paint is pretty damn neat! IT's a throwback nostalgia version that features copies of the side B/GS decals that came with the T-Jet Willys in the box AND a few of the classic decals from the Thunderjet Hop Up Kit decal sheet, the skull and crissbones DEAD END and yellow ball racing numbers applied the way that MANY kids, including myself, applied them! It would be nice if this guy who does the videos had some knowledge of this stuff

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

So happy to see Round 2 re-release the AMT Falcon modified stocker and the AMT Gremlin modified!!! I love these old kits.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice things coming this month. Great job Round 2. We really need a modern pick-up kit. The newest truck currently available is a 1999 Ford Lightning F-150. Thanks for sharing.

[@gojoe2833]

Hey Round2... I'm requesting more showroom stock cars, like the MPC full size cars from thr 1960s...specifically 1965-66 Dodge Monacos, 1968-65 full size Chevys, and theb1966-69 Pontiac Bonnevilles. Thanks for listening!

[@Red-rl1xx]

I especially like the Monacos/Polaras!

[@Trendsetta68]

I second that !!! 😇👍🏼

[@rayrussell6258]

yes Round2, don't release kits that can only be built as modifieds or customs. Factory stock is where most of us will spend our money.

[@Red-rl1xx]

@rayrussell6258 I recently built the '69 Super Bee 2-in1 street machine, so I don't mind customs. I also built the '70 GTX street machine last year.

[@rayrussell6258]

@@Red-rl1xx no one said don't provide option to build custom, you misread what people say if you think that. We are saying AMT needs to stop doing kits that can only be built as custom, they should include factory stock parts so EVERYBODY can build the way they want.

[@michaelseptaric4003]

We need the 67 Galaxy in both versions. Hasn't been released since 1967!!!!!!

[@twycediecast]

Love the collab with Love’s, Chad. Great idea

[@garycarneiro7219]

Thanks Chad for all you guys do at round two. Still waiting for you guys to re-release MPC pro stock of the early 70s.

[@40intrepid]

I think that Datsun pickup slot car goes way back. I had those same ones in an AFX set my dad got me in the mid 1970's. I remember it was a mail-in promotion deal from Champion Spark Plugs.

[@sandman_7326]

I hope that Round 2 makes a lot of the new : 1972 Ford F350 4WD Tow Truck 390 1/25 Scale Model Kit that's coming out , I think there is going to be a big demand for it.

[@johnstrick9317]

I think that is a Moebius kit not AMT.

[@acmesdiorama9301]

Another month of not much for us 1/64 fans. The trailers are nice.

[@martinkpierce]

Chad 🫵 the man. And all you all at round2. Got to mention I hope one day cross my fingers to see more ford f series truck stuff. Like 1980-1986 f series in all configurations in auto world 1/64 scale. Thanks for letting me say that all the time 😁.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!!!!!! 👍😉

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

Can't wait to get that Falcon!

[@stephenrobinson703]

Please, Please consider bringing out a modern Kenworth or Peterbilt big rig model truck, they would look great... you would make this model truck nut very happy.

[@RVChasr]

The "Modified Stockers" are so awesome!!!! I built them all as a kid! I hope they "all" get re-released, please?! Especially the Pontiac GTO & Ford Torino!! Keep up the great work!

[@Rick_Dunaway]

Ok Ok Ok now I like that “Drag-n-Drive” set! I hope that it becomes a well supported line. A display with 3 or 4 around a gas station or in front of popular checkpoint would be really fun to recreate! Well done! The Drag look on this model is much better than what we have been given with most of not all of the streetoutlaw crew. Question, why hasn’t Round2 partnered with “Cleetus McFarland” yet? He has arguably some of the most recognizable/popular vehicles to come along in many years! Maybe Round2 has reached and an agreement could not be made, I dunno but sure seems like a lot of potential revenue is being wasted as the time that has passed already with no Option for fans/collectors to Bring “Neighbor, Rubby, Leroy and Mullet into our offices, homes, and workshops” really is a shame. I understand that everyone on both sides have teams filled with some of the best folks around so their plates surely stay full 24-7. And to bring on another project with fair depth of scope may be asking too much of them. I understand and respect the potential situation so I volunteer my time and effort to assist in the development of a “Freedom Factory” series in any magnitude you see fit. Including but not limited to “kicking rocks” “choking down a bag of, another internet clown” or a drafting my own “ cease and desist complaint” But really I didn’t intend on writing this but I’ve thought about it for to long to make some attempt to get the ball rolling or spark off someone really great. To take no action at all would be hypocritical and sending a email with a similar sentiment to one of the Round2/Garrett Mitchell’s staff may go unnoticed or land in their junk Bin and never get read. The KZbin comment section isn’t likely to be much better but this is where I’m at and what I have to work with. So if anyone by chance reads any of the above message and feels the same way about potentially being able to purchase all the Freedom and man can handle in the scale of 1:64, then please up vote, like , thumb, retweet, tag @CleeetusM and @Round2foryou and let them know how excited you’d be if the option existed for us all to collect high quality detailed diecast models of the cars featured on the Cleetus McFarland KZbin channel and nationwide live events!! Hell Yeah Brother 🇺🇸🦅

[@Rick_Dunaway]

Also, Mike Finnegan’s “Blasphemy” is my vote for the next Drag-n-drive release. Please pretty please! I’ll bring cash?!?💰

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

Looking forward to the modifieds. Id love to see the 36 Plymouth modified rereleased with the better tires and decals. When are you going to rerelease the Kenworth T600A?

[@laurenciozabala4296]

Please, hopefully the 1/25 1969 Chevrolet Impala is in the works.

[@corvairjim1]

Amen and Hallelujah!!! Near the top of my list, too. But this time around, how about the Sport Coupe body instead of the formal looking Custom Coupe? A formal SS? Yes, it was available, but no, it didn't make any sense, then or now!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Oh nice! The 57 is actually NOT the old pepper shaker one but with a full chassis ❤❤❤❤

[@dirkmontgomery5983]

I'd like to see the old amt 1963 Pontiac tempest again from 1963

[@user-gw1tt5vo1o]

Come on enough start reissueing the rigs for instance the international eagle cabover snapfast and international s series trucks

[@dustymojave]

The box art for the Monte Carlo kit shows it in front of the Pink Motel in Sun Valley, CA. Used in the original Grease movie and others. Down San Fernando Road from my home in the 1950s. Up the road from my inlaws' home. A mile over from where my brother lives now. When I was a kid we used to occasionally eat in the diner in the front of the motel. A model car friend of mine, famous lowrider model builder Armando Flores, built a diorama of the Pink Motel to display his lowrider models around. I've never been to the El Monte Drive-In. But my wife did with her cousins when she was a kid in the 1960s.

[@chriskendall544]

1972 BRE Datsun 510 , slot car .fantastic looking car.👏👏

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Another great lineup guys, thank you. Some different station wagons and newer semi kits would be awesome. Have a great week 😀

[@deenjoan9938]

cool stuff for sure Love the kustom kruisers going to be a nice build ,But would sill love to see the Javelin make a com back

[@kenpiscitelli2703]

Let's see some big rig tow trucks

We need a 32 chevy coupe 1/25th

[@209Stretch]

Yes!

[@MiguelA99]

Thank you for bringing slotcars again.👍

[@thedude4321]

Last month we asked you what about slot cars ?..........This month you delivered! Thank you

[@richardcranium4183]

Yay! Finally, some new slot cars! While the new slot cars look pretty cool ( I really like the BRE), what would be even cooler is some new castings. Maybe a 66 Charger, a 71 Torino, a 65 Falcon, a 67 Chevelle or anything else besides the same old cars with different paint jobs. I bet an El Camino vs Ranchero set would be a big seller. Just a thought. But thanks for showing a little attention to us slot car junkies. Really do appreciate what you do.

[@sabledriver]

Excited about the modified stockers, still waiting for a Mustang II and Chevy Monza, keep up the good work, and the prices down!

[@stephendoing2253]

Back when the 69 falcon modified kit came out it had the stock 69 falcon dash!😊

[@westies1962]

I'm all over that 66 Hemi Hustler!!

[@modelermark172]

Thanks for all your 1/25th plastic kit reissues! Please consider repopping the AMT kit of the 1970's AMC Matador as a future reissue. I'd like a second chance to build one or two of those, again! 982nd Like.

[@davidmartinez1556]

I would love to see the 1963 Ford Falcon Futura/Sprint!

[@TroysTruckModels]

no big rigs though !!! hope you rerelease the S Line international and the N10 Volvo kits that were ERTL kits back in the 70s/80s ..

[@modelrestorations]

Thanks you R2 for all you do! Very cool kits. I really like the peice of chrome.

[@thearikes]

I’m not car model maker guy here, but I think I’m going pick up that Monte Carlo Lowrider just for the box art!

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

Finally some new slotcar liverys .... Loudspeaker Bluesmobile like the bigger scales, nice! And oohhh the BRE's, very well done! Really nice lineup, and happy to see

[@1013mando]

I Want that monte Carlo!!!!! Thank you for releasing that one very likely I'll order 2 👍👍👍👍👍

[@thomaslynde8391]

Glad to see the 1990's full-detail '57 Chevy back. It has been a long time since we have seen that one!

[@dominickgerace9662]

Love that Monte Carlo kit! I’ll take what ever version you release. Would love to see it updated to a 1971 some day! If possible!😅

[@HinterlandCustoms]

Hope you get to see it!

[@robinsonlyons6367]

I would love to see you come out with a BRICKLIN or a PANTERA ❤❤

[@HinterlandCustoms]

Yes to both! These commenters wanting the UGLIEST U.S. cars ever made to be re-issued, are hurting my ears. Monaco? Ugh. Bring back unique style and class, for certain!

[@markshobbybench]

A scale model of the Mayflower Moving trailer would be cool.

[@stephendoing2253]

The 57 chevy is the new tooled kit Ertl/racing champions did 15+ years ago! Opening trunk, super detailed prostreet chassis/susp.

[@josephcox4319]

Seeing videos of the back rooms where you store vintage kits to possibly do the releases of I noticed 3 kits that would be nice #1-Mack DM-800 Mixer, Ertl International paystar log truck and the one you already have tooling done for is the AMT Kenworth W900 for the Movin' On truck just a matter of decals and box art as it's the same kit as the Watkins rig. Lots of fellow truck modellers also mentioned a BJ& the Bear tractor.

[@danieljohnson9351]

I still need the Barris Thunder Charger from the movie Thunder Alley with decals for the movie version and post-movie version, the Meyers Tow'd, and the 1971 Ford Torino Cobra with the NASCAR parts. Also the Craftsman 1960 Chevy station wagon would be great! These are kits that have NEVER been reissued after their initial release. I know I am not the only one who would like to see these come back!

[@CycolacFan]

I'd love to see the '60 Chevy wagon return and since it would almost certainly be a new tool like the Nova would be great to see a similar age Ford and Mopar wagon too.

[@urbanurchin5930]

@@CycolacFan ..... someone mentioned 1957 and 1958 DeSotos - that would be excellent - - - they also made wagons during those years too .

[@CycolacFan]

@urbanurchin5930 I'd love to see those, and then we'd get the correct roof to convert the '58 Plymouth into a wagon too. Would be a lot of work but still a great start.

[@aaronlancaster195]

That version of the 57 Chevy in my opinion is one of the best kits AMT produced. I'm glad to see it back.

[@tomlappin9657]

Great releases looking for more

[@tasinjahan3636]

So few 1/64

[@HinterlandCustoms]

You won't be pleased every day of the week. Like there aren't a billion 1/64 issued already? 😅

[@hateut]

I'm actually shocked to see the 70 Monte Carlo lowrider version getting re-released Hoping to see in the cool kits in future like the 92 Silverado stepside and maybe that '96 Tahoe and and the '70s Impalas/caprices

[@tonymadia4554]

hoping for the impalas the rest of the yr but doubt it

[@TheModelingHermit]

I'm happy for the custom and hotrod crowd, but I would really like to see more annual releases that can be built stock or in multi-form. They have always been my favorites. I'm still hoping for a 68/69 full size Chevy or 67/68 full size Ford. While you're offering Falcons, why not pop out some in stock form? If you really want to make truck modelers happy, see if you can get the 70s/80s IH S series trucks from ERTL.

[@TACADD]

So, I've seen Auto World 2023 release 4 finally land at Targets lately, although only the Kingswood is on the pegs. Which I doubt I just missed the rest of the release, it almost seems like only wagons were sent out. This is the case at multiple locations.

[@mr-meek]

Glad to see a new run of slot cars. I know ya'll over did it last year and it took some time to get things going after ownership roller over... but, we're ready, now!

[@jakekempf7734]

Still requesting a 1969 Impala!

[@urbanurchin5930]

.......how about a Caprice ?

[@brunoskorniak9722]

Lots of cool new stuff! Like your tee shirt too! Vincent and bob from the movie "The Black Hole". Its an underrated scifi movie in my opinion. Anybody that doesn't know what I'm talking about, get yourself a copy of the movie or stream it. Its actually pretty good. The "bad" robot Maximillian is pretty menacing. You mentioned new scifi licensing, could it be "The Black Hole"??? A model kit of the USS Cygnus would be sooo cool!!

[@chrisroos2202]

As a car modeller, my money is safe this month!

[@heathjohnson4486]

So nice to see that 57 out again.

[@mikecooney3379]

Still hoping for a 3 in one 74 Monaco..Bluesmobile, Chicago Police, Illinois State Police...PLEASSEE

[@chadmickelsen3906]

I'm still holding out for a 1/24th scale 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan aka the Bluesmobile kit. I'd personally build them stock. It would also be good if the MPC 1973 or 74 Dodge Charger, that could of been built as a wagon with wood paneling reissued.

[@user-cr4ry1ko1f]

Really like the BRE slot cars. I stopped collecting because I have so many, but I may have to get those

[@harpermotorsports16]

The best tires I've ever seen are the ones in the MPC Super Stocker kits.....I'd love to see these sold in a set of 4, just like the AMT parts packs! I'd put those tires on the Modified Stocker kits and they would look so much better!

[@davidhinkson8856]

I like the diecast tanker because that's somewhat different from what I normally see here and I recently saw Luka Cee review the original release of the modified '57 Chevy and he was wondering why it hadn't been rereleased so it's good to see that it has come back.

[@theintake8961]

My favorite video each month! 😎👍

[@209Stretch]

We need some old full-size 1/25 chevys that haven’t been released in 50+ years. You folks make new tools for newer boring vehicles. Why not a 68 Impala convertible?

[@209Stretch]

Ps, that ‘70 monte carlo lowrider kit & box art are awesome👍🏽👍🏽

[@tonymadia4554]

or any other impalas

[@VictorGomez-lc7ep]

X100 on the 68 chev

[@jakekempf7734]

Yes I'm hoping for a 69 Impala!

[@209Stretch]

Sometimes it seems they only make tools for the stuff they want. I’m going to start voting with my $. I got plenty of amt/mpc stuff. Don’t really need more. I’ll start buying more kits if & when they bust out the oldies that we haven’t ever had in our lifetimes.

[@sydrider6023]

Well the first kit I have ever built is the 1977 Dodge 4x4 desert racer (the #11 red and white truck with dirt bike)…if any one is listening…

[@Rom3_29]

Maybe one day there’s 1969 Chevy Impala with a coupe like roof line. Or as Chevrolet used to call it Impala sport, cheaper version of ss super sport model. Old AMT and MPC 69 Impala 1/25 kits go $300 + online.

[@csj9619]
