I learned about pavlovian extinction. Thanks!
I think the first K/5 kit AMT did was a Jimmy, and they didn't change the bumper. I don't know why, since they had to use a different grille. They were very accurate replicas for the most part, back in the day. It's nice to see these kits reproduced. I could never bust into my vintage kits |

I just ordered two of these from a local hobby shop. I haven't bought a plastic model kit in years. Surprised the heck out of me how much they are now. But it didn't stop me from buying them ;)

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
I bought one at Hobby Lobby last weekend ,I too got sticker shock .

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
LOL You guys have no idea how the hobby has become expensive. You should price a Tamiya, or Fujimi kit.
Please post pictures of the contents! |

I think this fact alone is gonna slowly kill all of these hobbies. It's just gonna become too damn expensive. Sorry for the rant. |
Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
They have those at the Hobby Lobby here. Wife got me one for X-Mas.....It was a good present since I now have a real 72 4X4 Blazer.

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
About prices, model companies have to license the names too, so that cost is factored in.
Good to know Hobby Lobby has them. Need to find a coupon. |

Attachment 1517433Attachment 1517434 you would think they would'nt mind representations of their stuff on models, it most certainly does'nt cut into their 1:1 sales at all, hell they used to hand them out at the dealership |

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
yeah, Satco's WERE excellent tires. priced out the odd ones that show up on fleabay lately? seems $35-40 is the norm now....
BNL resin & Scenes Unlimited picked up their molds though & make some really nice resin & rubber swamps |
Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
Just checked my Hobby Lobby, no Blazer in stock. They do have the '65 Chevy step side. Price is full retail, must find coupon. LOL They also have the Piranha 'Super Spy Car' for almost $30, Squadron showed $21.74 (add shipping).

Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
Got my kit from the Desert Scale Classic contest swap meet! $20.
I see several brands listed for the license routine, and it's popped in China. Do Blazers really have the gas tanks like this? |
Re: AMT Chevy Blazer 'Crew Chief' 1:25 kit
if your talkin' bout the chrome one, no. the tank at the back of the frame is the correct one. they prob threw the chrome one in cause....it's a crew chief i guess...
