TF51GREGWISE Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Nice build, been thinking about getting this kit, is it still in production? I picked this one up at the Tittusville Fl IPMS show- the guy said the company went **** up and these are hard to find kits...I really dont know one way or the other. the wifey wanted it so I shelled out 40 smackers for it. :lol: (plus a bottle of alclad) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IceDiver Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 PolarLights/Playing Mantis didn't go ****up they were bought out by RC2. RC2 hasn't seen fit to reissue the plastic model line, Jupiter 2/Lost in Space and various other figure type models with the exception of the Star Trek kits. I got the Robbie kit at a local hobby store a year or so ago for $19.99. It's still wrapped in plastic and on my to be built shelf. Regards, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
