Revell to stop producing Nascar models

[ronmcc]

Revell stops making NASCAR model kits: From the revell.com site: Over the years we have been pleased to provide you with the finest NASCAR plastic model kits featuring the most popular drivers. Regrettably however, over the last several years we have faced increasing licensing costs that are greater than our increase in sales. Despite our best efforts to secure reasonable licensing terms for NASCAR model kits in general, and the Car of Tomorrow in particular, we have been unable to develop a program that allows us to market the product at a viable price point. Consequently, we will not be issuing a kit on the Car of Tomorrow and, in fact, will be exiting the NASCAR business altogether. We will discontinue all sales of NASCAR plastic kits by February 28, 2009.(revell.com)(12-10-2008)

That's too bad. I miss them in the die-cast end of the hobby, and I am pretty sure the modelers will be highly disappointed.

Most are treating it like the apocolypse! (Yeah, I can't spell)

They Stopped in 2006, as far as Earnhardt & Earnhardt Jr. cars!!!

2007 was the last year of issues. However, the 2006 #8 is, surprisingly, still in production!
