Has anybody heard or seen anything about a couple of 2018 releases I just heard about? The first is an MPC Dyno Don "Eliminator" Cougar funny car. The second is a Moebius Comet A/FX car. I'm not sure how reliable the info I got is, but I'm going to be very interested in both those kits if they are actually scheduled to be released.

I've checked my normal places that are usually in the know and I don't see anything but I sure hope your right. Fingers Crossed

The Cougar I believe, as it was reissued with a trailer and a Bronco tow car a few years ago by Model King. The tooling was cleaned up all it needs from Round2 is new box art and the correct decals.
FX Comet seems plausible with Moebius's latest Mopars. If it is, it will probably be similar to the Revell Thunderbolt as an S/XS car.

Might actually be something to it. I searched around today and found this on rocketfin.com. Might be a really good year on new releases if we've got this to look forward to.  |

Bruce Larson's USA 1 Vega is a year late.
The Nova gasser is a reissue of the AMT Rat Packer AWB 1965 Nova I'll have info when I'm back from the NYC Toy Fair next month. No longer own a hobby shop but still go as a buyer. Paul

I hope to see all of those kits released ....... but on a few my suggestion would be "Don't hold your breath, blue is not your best facial color!" The Bruce Larson Vega Pro Stock was first announced in 2016, then delayed to "coming in 2017", now it's a 2018 promise  As Paul stated, the Chevy II gasser will look nothing like the picture, it's my understanding that it will be a re-pop of the crappy Rat Packer kit. I've seen pre-release photos of the Mobieus Golden Commandos Plymouth ...... maybe we'll see it fairly soon. If the Iaconio Camaro Pro Stock is re-issued, it will be interesting to see if it is a re-pop of the original or just another version of the re-released Reher Morrison Shepherd kit with all its fit problems. The others, I don't have a clue about ...... but I'll say this ..... sometimes any kind of something is better than nothing ! |

If wishing and hoping makes any difference to the actual release, here's wishing and hoping for the Cougar Funny Car. I know this is supposed to be a '68, but I had a '67 that I really liked. A '68 is close enough for me. I guess I should clarify - I did NOT have a funny car, just a '67 Cougar.

You're all missing something from the pictures above. The Chevy II gasser/awb is not a reissue of the AMT kit but in fact a brand new tool coming from Moebius. They're doing a stock based 63/64 Nova followed up with an altered wheelbase/gasser version.

Cool! I can live with that. I'm a little surprised because of the version that came out just a few years ago but for some reason that one just never felt right to me. I bought the hardtop and convertible and never built either one. I can't really say what it was I just didn't feel it.

Oooh, OK. I guess I did just completely miss that. Well then I'll add that to my wishing & hoping list. That would definitely be on my want list. It would definitely fit right in with the rest of the gassers and F/X cars I have in my stash.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Looking more and more promising. Just happened to see this today. It's no guarantee of when or if, but it is pretty promising. Not a bad price either. Can't call it a super deal, but for a brand new release 25 bucks is very doable!
