79-81 Models

unless ya count the racecars that action makes, but theyre not in production there were 3 made in 2000 and i believe 3 in 2001

 

no 78-81, but yet I found a 78 chevette on ebay. What's up with that?

 

I decided recently to get back into model building, only to discover there is NOTHING out there these days. I went to 5 different model stores, and not one of them had a 2nd gen period. Tons of first gens, tons of 4th gens, but no 2nd gens. Do the model company even make the plastic models anymore? I was talking to the owner of one of the shops, and he pretty much told me that the companies (revel...) are putting out the same things for years. Old GTO's, a 32 ford, and a pickup or two. The last time I built a model, there was a selection of hundreds. Now I get a selection of about 25. What's the deal? Does anyone know of a place to buy them? I checked EBAY, but I don't like the looks of those models. I guess I should stick with building planes. At least they still make them.

 

I see you are in Jersey.There are quite a few model/diecast shows in the area.I see the late second gen's in 1/25 scale plastic going for $10-$30.There aren't any currently produced that I know of so you just have to find an older unbuilt.
