That’s there latest release you can buy them all day on line. The older models were starting to be lightly collectibles on till that one was released.

Wow, $24.99 for a plastic model kit! I am 70 yrs. old. When I was in my early teens building model cars, I think the going price for an AMT kit was $2.49! Good thing the real 914's didn't increase that much, that would mean $50,000 for a restored 914.

You could buy the kit and then get a 904 body to fit over the chassis?

I take my 914 out and represent at autocrosse's, winning my class even. And when I have surplus 914 stuff I give it away on this board. How many engines have you given away to local guys? Hell, I've been on this board for 11 years, but still some dude like you is going to come along and act like a sarcastic bully, get a life man. Attached image(s)

That's a cool Revell 914 kit, I have a similar kit from the 70's still boxed. In high school days...my Best friend's Dad owned a Toy W/D warehouse. It rained model cars, planes and ships at my house. AMT, Revell, Monogram, even Hubley 1/24th die cast metal kits. Today I collect Hot Wheels, Matchbox for kicks. Today at Fry's Electronics I almost got "Bait and Switched" on a hot wheels deal...gotta read the fine print (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Sign says $4.99 ea. So I grabbed 5. At the counter these scan for $9.99 ea. turns out the stockboy put the wrong cars with the wrong price card... EZ mistake on THEIR part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) =no sale End of rant  |

My fave place for these is my neighborhood Ralph's (Kroeger) market...10 for $10.00.
Just dropped in this eve for my dose of Hot wheels and found that these are now behind a locked glass case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) That figures as the store was being pilfered by a homeless camp about 1/2 block away. Now key-code entry restrooms, 2 armed guards with 9's and my Hot wheels require a manager's key ( he's a gearhead too ) ! I approve of your office display Adam (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)  |

I approve of your office display Adam (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks! I also hit Wal-Mart when I'm there with the kids, they love to dig with me in the big bins. The funniest time was I was doing it once and one of the Wal-Mart people came to help me, which I found kind of weird. After about 15 minutes she asked what we were doing, I said looking for Porsches, she asked why. I said I collect them and give them to Porsche friends. She asked, "Do you work here?" I said no, and then looked at what I was wearing, it just happened to be khaki pants and a blue shirt, so she thought I worked there, it was really funny. She was nice and continued to help looking for Porsches. Some days are better then others, but sometimes you can hit the motherload, I've filled hundreds if not thousands of gift bags with little Porsches, I even tried to by direct from Mattel but they have this weird rule that you have to have a storefront to buy from them.

I know it will never happen, but I wish Fujimi, Tamiya or Hasegawa would offer a model of the 914. The old Revell kit leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to plastic injection molded model kits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I posted the same pic of that Revell 914 model a couple months back but it really didn't get noticed I guess. Found it at a Hobby Lobby for $29.99 but you can get 40% off with your phone coupon making it about $18 which is a little more reasonable.
As for Walmat little cars I take a look when I am there but learned that there are guys who know exactly when the truck comes in and gets unloaded and are there waiting. Seldom see a Porsche matchbox or Hot Wheels for that reason. I'm just not that dedicated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Happy hunting!
