Thank you for bringing out the double trailer. I built one back in the early 1970s. I want to built it again and almost bought a kit for over $100 USD.

for being such a huge corp, its really cool that you guys shoot your vids with the low budget & zero edits approach . when ever i do a stash update i always do it in round2 style & chat about the kit a little bit& why i like it! sweet deal on that shop lift too!
thx for always having a gem up your sleeve !
much support from here

Glad to see the Double trailer kit again, along with ALL the other reissues & even new iterations(78 Dodge long bed 2wd). I'm wondering though if you guys would consider a different topic of video related to all the model kits (all venues). Having seen the Wonderfest videos, there is NO DOUBT you guys are into models as much as the rest of your product lines. I'm asking Round2 if you would seriously consider producing a video about what goes into a reissue for a kit, especially a long dormant one (Papa Truck of the top of my head). Though any kit topic may work; there are always the endless requests for this or that, but I seriously doubt that the average model consumer has a real understanding of the business dynamics/realities/conditions related to old tooling. Obviously during the restructuring/building up of Round2 as it is currently, you've acquired alot of molds; it also DOESN'T mean you have the ability to reissue things that aren't complete, or just aren't able to be refurbish.
So is it possible to show an example of a mold or tool that though frequently requested, just can't be due to financial limitations, with some explanation to the decision making process.
To be clear, I'm not saying you should divulge any business edge/opportunities/processes in the future, just perhaps show an example(of any long ago kit) of how some tooling has deteriorated to a point of no return if possible.
We all know this is a great hobby and a great TIME for our hobbies; but I personally think a large percentage of your consumers truly don't understand that it is a business with serious costs & planning involved with it. To those reading this, take the time find & watch the Wonderfest videos from 6-7 years ago, there's good knowledge there about what goes into the products.
I hope Round2 would also consider other new iterations; how about simple conversion kits - an example is a kit with just the conversion parts to finsh a Kenworth W925 as the Alaskan hauler, or a complete decal set to make the Papa Truck into the Hideout truck. The opportunity goes almost forever there.
You might find a real interest in this type of video.
Thanks for the great kits & all products.

Wow, the step vans are cool, I’m going to have to hunt those down. The Johnny Lightning Mustangs are awesome, I can’t wait to get my hands on them!

Big question that seems to never get answered, are the original Ertl truck models of the 4070A international, the 4200 Transtar, and 40' Great Dane reefer trailer be released or even the big Mack DM-800 Mixer, hopefully you all can put these questions to rest for every truck model builder and also, do you all plan on re-doing the 352 Peterbilt kit with a double bunk cab, stretched frame and a cat motor plus better rims and tires like 11.00x24.5 tall rubber????

Is Playing Mantis still with Polar Lights? And do they still own the rights too the molds and patterns to the Ideal Captain Action? I know the name of Captain has been sold, but Joe & Ed didn't get the Figure Molds and the costumes patterns.
Id like to know if they ever thought of Generate boots, and costumes to sell to the people who like to customize 1.6th size figures?

I hope ToysRus opens up again this year, because I really miss finding Round 2 1:64 at Walmarts in my area. They haven't been restocking them this year.

I'm wondering weather round2 will rerelease the AMT 1/25 scale international transtar 3 cabover truck

[raymondgower]

Need to redo the 74 and 75 Firebird model kits

[EdsterIII]

I had a 1969 Hurst Olds Cutlass 442. Primer gray. So sweet. Hurst Dual-gate racing shifter. I'd love to find those. Just the 442's would be amazing. So many memories.

Love the videos, especially the model kit part! 😉😆
Got one of the old AMT/Matchbox Double Header kits and I'm definitely gonna get a few of the new ones....
Keep them videos coming AND them kits too!
Hope to see more old school Nascar and Super Stock (you already know about the big rigs! 😉😆)....

Edit: I just noticed that you've got just above 4, 000 subscribers, how the 🤬 you don't have 10x times that I don't know! 😳😲

At last something of interest in the 1/25 automotive side, that Willy's pickup isn't new, just a decal rehash but I have been waiting for them to come around again, will be grabbing a couple of them, but heck 1/24 1/25 kits are well over $60 a piece downunder! was beginning to think AMT had lost interest in actual 1/25 cars! hope your molds have been refurbished? next how about the 48 Anglia drag car?

[modelmaster]

Need more truck kits reissued! Please!!!!

[Datdudebigc]

1971 the 1975 caprice, 1991 454 ss pickup, 1993 c3500 street machine dually, 1968 c 10 pickup, 1996 tahoe, and maybe some new tooling like 1996 Chevrolet suburban, 2000's Chevy blazers. 80s caprice's & malibu's

[fullsizecars]

Could you guys do a fuselage style c-body in 1/25 scale? A 1969 Chrysler 300, 1970 Plymouth fury, or a 1969 imperial crown would be really cool. Any c-body would be appreciated.

[jasongette]

Plzzzz..reissue 67-72 C10 pickups, 70-75 trans am.
