Spock 62 and bryant99, I’m glad to hear you guys like the idea of the ’76 Gremlin kit too! I have a model of the 1974 Levi’s Gremlin X (purchased when new), that I started working on in the late 70′s and finally finished around 1988 or so. I also have a few AMT and MPC Pintos and Vegas from back then also, some built and some still unbuilt. Sure, everyone makes fun of these cars now, but they were the big thing (figuratively speaking) back in the early 70′s, especially after the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Anyway, I hope AMT does reissue the Pinto and Vega, including the earlier ones and the later ones.

Your line up for the coming year is simply awesome. But I wish you guys would reconsider releasing the 2009 enterprise. Like with so many model makers it grown on me, and QMX version is simply stunning. Plus, their many of us out their that simply want to build and complete the full enterprise line up, and unless you can afford $5,000 dollars that will never be achieved. How about maybe doing a poll to see how many people would be interested in seeing this kit released:-)

Shabo, I know the kit your thinking of, I had one too. It actually included blue tack. Spirit gum is what makeup artists use to attach latex masks and the like. It would niether hold the model to the wall or be cost effective enough.

The Enterprise looks great. Would love to see more pics of the other models. I only got a glimpse of the Spiderman model, but it looks like one I had as a kid (spirit gum came with the model to stick him on the wall).

I’m curious to know what the text reads on the board labelled ‘panel lines’. Guess: “Don’t worry – they won’t be this prominent on the finished model!”

The ’76 Gremlin will be mine, thanks for bringing this kit back. Any chance you guys will reissue the Chevy Monza and Vega kits?

Oh boy! That DS9 add-in makes me wonder…it’s a DEFIANT-ly (oops!) definitely a curiosity…

Are those Ent C battle damage decals going to be available separately by chance?
