WOW!!!!!!! 😍
The prices were Unbelievable at the ACME Show/Swap Meet!! 👍🙂
OMG, I'm having flashbacks 😂
I know I walked back and forth so many times looking for those bargain's I could afford. Like a kid all over again.. This was really great coverage Tim..
Same here Jimmy, there sure were some GREAT bargains! And thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!!!!!
A lot of fun going through the vendors with you Tim. So much great stuff!
Yes it was Rick, really enjoyed seeing you over the weekend!!
Mark Martin and Carl Edwards my favorite 2 driver, then old school Kyle Petty, Rick Hendricks
Oh yea, Mark Martin was great!
Another GREAT video and coverage! Funniest line "I'm a mopar guy what's wrong with me".
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video with all the great deal. The Stacy David 32 I got it but I didn’t pay $60 for it. It’s hard watching this because some of them kits I don’t remember seeing when we first got there. Thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍🇺🇸👊
Love the Stacey David kit!! 🙂👍
Since it’ll almost certainly never be reissued as the Stacey car will you build it?
@@CycolacFan I would build it.
@@THROTTLEPOWER I was planning to build mine but then the reissue was announced so I’ll build that instead.
@@CycolacFan That's cool, the reissue is different in a few ways.
I'm in tears😭already ,Tim. I've only watched the 15 buck kits😁. A sealed Ford Starliner for only 15.I've just bought a rebuilder of It for £15
There were some great prices there Pete. 👍🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER my jaw was on the floor,mate. Bargains galore😀👍👍. I hope you spent all your pennies 👍
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Not all my Pennies but most of them... 💰😁😊💰
@@THROTTLEPOWER 😂😂👍👍

Great video,Tim. I would be in a lot of debt,or in front of the judge again,if I went there😁. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Any time Pete! 🙂👍😁
Thanks for the walk through the vendors Tim. Take care and model on my friend.
Any time George!
Lots of cool resin stuff. As well as some great kits for sale. Thanks for sharing
So true Alan. And it seems as if there is more and more Resin and 3d printed stuff showing up at the swap meets, thanks for watching!
I’ve never seen a show with so much decent merchandise as this. Prices seemed really good too, particularly on the older built cars.
Be interesting to try to build a model just from parts found at the show.
So true, I agree!!
Nice talking to you out there Tim! I ended up buying the T-Bird and Barracuda, but someone else snatched up that 59 Plymouth. It was a great show. I had a pretty good day sales wise!
Aaaaaaaaaa very cool David!!!!!!!!
Wow that's an impressive amount of venders, with some really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing!!
It really was Jason!
Still watching Tim this show is awesome
Cool!!!!!!
Nice stuff ACME. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed!
Tim, it was nice to finally meet you at the host hotel Friday evening. This was my first time at ACME and we had a blast! We definitely plan on attending next year.
Nice to meet you too Chris, sure was a GREAT time!!!!!!!
That wall of model car boxes. Pure heaven !!
I agree!!
Some awesome bunch of kits in one place. I would need a bib to look at all that stuff. LOL Loved all of the big rig kits. Thanks for sharing this Tim. Have a great week buddy. Senior
Right on Terry and you have a good week to my friend!
Wow! Amazing kits, when you were looking at those 68 barracudas there was a Revell Revolution funny car (the original), I haven't seen one in 50 years! And then my top bucket lister the Charlie Allen Dart funny car factory sealed $300! Great info on the Harry Gant cars being made by Salvino. I've been trying to find Harry's 90/91 Olds, can't hardly find any of his cars, a friend of mine wants them. Thanks for sharing Tim, great job!
I agree, hopefully they will put a few Gant cars out!
The first model of mine when I was a kid was Harry Gant's car. He was my favorite driver.
@@lobotomyscam1051 Very cool, he was my favorite driver too!!!!!!
Great show. Lots of cool kits. Good prices too👍
I agree!!!! 👍🙂
Another great video Tim
I spent about $1000.00 in my head just watching it
Happy building
Cool, so glad you enjoyed it Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve dug out some unopened plastic models and fixing to start building them with the grandkids. Thanks for inspiring me. That’s how I started before building big cars
That is awesome! What kits are you guys building?
@@THROTTLEPOWER AMT digger Cuda and revell 36 ford coupe. I’ve got a bunch from 15-30 years ago. I guess it’s time to use a few. . I’m watching for tips buddy
@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms Aaaa very cool!!!! Heck yea, enjoy the kits/builds. Loads of video tips out there, if you have any questions on anything feel free to ask me or anyone. 🙂👍😊
Great story! Some big memories hidden in those little boxes!
czcams.com/video/cvObKbxEZnE/video.html
You got that right!
Great tour. Thanks. I saw more on this video than at the show. It would be nice to see this before show.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the vid!
I enjoy the shopping! Thanks Tim!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Some of those old AMT boxes really bring back the memories.
I agree Duane, they sure do!

Can't wait for the haul video!! 👍

Looks like a great show, if I get back to America to see family and friends I need to try to schedule it around that show.
Yes, you would really enjoy it.
You folks are so fortunate in having meets like this! We have buggarall really down here in Australia
Yes, very lucky to have them Wayne. I think that is one of the reasons I try to go to so many all the time.
Wow what deal there I've got to wipe the drool of the ground and stop kicking myself for not being there. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
I agree Thomas! 🙂👍
23:50. The old AMT kits I grew up with in the early 60s.
I'm right there with you, they were great back then Duane.
Great video Tim........thanks for sharing buddy.......The Bearded Guy
So glad you enjoyed it Jeff!!
wow that was a really good look Tim you even stopped and said what kits you thought were really good buys lol maybe I should look for you and we go shoping at one of the shows, really good job on the look around to see what was there and the prices enjoyed hope to get there maybe next year thanks again 👍
Thank you for the kind words Deen 🙂 and I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid. 👍
Very nice footage of the vendors Tim, your more patient than me when panning. Since I didn't have an early bird admission some of these kits were not there when I arrived.
Thanks David, so glad you enjoyed the vid. I always see stuff when I make the vids that I did not see (notice) when I'm at the shows.
13:15 that is a Cool truck Kit, hope you Bought, as I was yealing at Ya 🤫🤣😂
It was cool, but I passed on it.
This is a cool channel, not ruined by obnoxious techno music playing in the background! ❤️ New subscriber from Gainesville GA.
So glad you enjoy Danny and thank you for the kind words! 🙂👍
thanks Mr Brown i'm drooling now
Cool........... 🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER but me landing a grail mopar the mpc cuda super stock made up for
@@model-grail-kit-hunter Oh yea, that's a cool kit Jeff!!!!
That International 4270 was the first big rig kit I ever built, when I was 13 or so. Painted the cab and hood Testors Sapphire Blue metallic. Left engine and chassis molded in color, and painted interior baby blue. Would love to get another, but, the prices !!!! Arrrrgghhh !
Oh wow very cool, that sure brings back great memories Joe! 👍🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER Thanks, and the ERTL International Transtar II was the second one, and the 4300 the third. Wish I still had every kit I ever built. Lol, but, as a teenager so many met their fate by BB gun or firecrackers. I guess I thought all those kits would always be available
.
@@joesrustshop4509 The Firecrackers, BB Guns and Bottle Rockets... 🧨🧨🧨🧨 I know exactly what you mean!!!!!! 👍🙂😊
There was some real bargains, :)
Yes there was Tom
Awesome video 👍👍
Thank you Roger!
Hi Tim! I just Subscribed, LOVE Your Videos! From another Tennessee Builder, Jack A. 🤓
Awesome! Thank you Jack! 🙂👍
Ben Franklin meet the wind! Oh my you go to way to many shows! If I went to this many shows my home would go into foreclosure!
Glad you have been enjoying the show vids Kevin! 🙂 I just make sure I don't bring much money and it's a good thing the vendors don't take a credit card..... 😊
I made out pretty goos at the Train Show in Syracuse NY Saturday too.. 4 kits for $60! (1.Lindberg 35 Auburn Boattail Speedster,2.Monogram 91 Corvette ZR1,3.AMT 58 Edsel Pacer abd 4.Monogram 58 T Bird)..
Oh wow Tom, yea you did good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the semi's
Me too Frank, I'm wanting to get back to building my semis as That is what I normally build.
I wish I could have been there I would have bought all the Impalas
Oh yea!!!!!!!!
I want all the ERTL INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS ! Thanks 👋🐭 Tim
You and me both!
2:27 $40 for the 4070A is an excellent price, MSRP is $60.
I agree, it was!!!!!
Nice coverage of the swap meet. I came across the AMT 67 t-bird in a lot of other parts kits. It's missing the interior and one wheel cover. Rare kit that was released only one time
Glad you enjoyed Eric. Nice find coming across the '67..... If I had the interior tub I would send it to you. Speaking of rare, heck you don't even see those cars in real life anymore!
@@THROTTLEPOWER Yeah, and to think I had a real one when I was 20
@@ericsmodelgarage Oh wow, very cool Eric!
Some reasonable deals too!!
Oh yea, I thought so too!!
Some nice ones 👍😎
I agree Brian! 🙂👍
Looks like you had a great time
I did Matt!!!!!
Cool stuff hope to see ya at freeze frame. Would like to see more vendors there
Yes, that is a good show Butch!
Great video.
Thank you Derek, so glad you enjoyed it.
awsome bro catching up here 👍
Thanks Keith, hope you enjoy all the show footage. 🙂🤜🤛😊
Round 2 needs to reissue a lot of those old big rig kits, like they did with the 4070A kit. Those prices for those are getting out of hand.
I 100% agree Joe!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Tim
I'm reliving my childhood watching you walk around the show!
What did you end up purchasing?
Thanks for the show coverage 👍
Good to hear Stuart, I picked up some new kits that just came out like the Moebius Nova Gasser and some misc PE (Photo Etch) for future projects. And a Mopar kit along with a semi kit.
I'd like to try to get down there next year. Dangum!
Yea, you would really enjoy it!
Dude that would be a total dream for me if I could go to that.
👍👍🙂👍👍
MGD #2 black and gold Rusty Wallace.
Oh yea! #2
awesome video Tim
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great video as always , at 30:00 , you will see a Lil Red Wagon , I built that kit 100 years ago ( sorta ) , and many a friend also built that kit , it was a favorite .
Not sure what happened to it . A lot of great models here , watching this now at work .
Thanks for sharing , let me know if you can when a big model show will be in New Jersey or NYC ?
Mike ?
Oh yea, that is a GREAT kit Mike!!! I'm hearing that the Jersey NNL East will be back for 2023. It's a really good show and a much bigger then (this) the Atlanta ACME show. Pending on their date, I'll be going.
@@THROTTLEPOWER I will also go , how do you find out the date ? thanks Mike .
I (just now) Googled Jersey NNL East 2023 and their web site popped up first Mike. It looks like the show is going to be April 22, 2023 ... Let me know if that is what you are seeing too.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Yes in ,Wayne N J . 4-23-2022. Thanks .
@@diecast_MikeEspo Cool, it's always been a GREAT show. So glad to see it back!!!!
Whats the story on the guy with all the Jo Han stuff at 31:00? Is that / will that Powell Sport Wagon be available somewhere?
He brought a bunch of JoHan to sell, not sure about the Sport wagon.
Yeah never seen one but now l have l want too😄
@@edwardcox2840 👍👍🙂
Will you be at the 2023 show? I just read on their site where they are moving the venue this year. Will be 30 minutes from my house, so I plan to go!
Yes, I'll be there.............. 30 min away, that's nice!
I’ll look for you and speak if I can find you
@@HDElvisPresleyHD Heck yea, even if I'm filming come up and say HI.... I love the interaction with everyone!!!!
Awesome! Will be looking for you.
@@HDElvisPresleyHD 👍👍
Can you hear me screaming at ya🤫🤣😂
Oh yea................. 🙂
Cool 😎💟
Thank you 👍🙂
What's a good reference for pricing older kits , I've got a lot of drag cars from the 80s & 90s ... anyone ?
That's a good question Steve, maybe someone will chime in. Are you in an area where there are Model Contests?
That Charlie Allen Dart funny car is fortunately in my collection along with an all original unbuilt 66 Dodge Charger Color Me Gone funny car
Aaaaaaa, very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At round 22:50, the focus softens, reducing the capacity to read the box labelling.
More generally, the nearly constant movement of the camera (smartphone?) causes motion blur that makes it difficult to read the kits' names.
Ok
14:55 I see the BJ and the Bear big rig on the bottom of the stack !
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
David R Lentz, USA
At round 22:50, the screen image loses resolution, making difficult to read the kit labels.
More broadly, the random panning of the camera (smartphone?) blurs the image, as well, again inhibiting legibility. (I already had sent this, though I cannot find it.)
👍
Nice to see those JoHann t-shirts in 4X ! something for us - - big fellas......
So true!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw at :47 Revell Grease 2 motorcycle kit . Wish i was there to buy it. i have been looking for over a year.
Oh yes, you don't see that to often Jon.
Always been a Richard Petty fan, but also Harry Gant, Terry Labonte and Ken Schrader. All these guys would race hard but clean, not like the “racing today”. Later on became a huge Jeff Gordon fan. Trying to build all these drivers cars from 1981 until 2003… have most of the models and decals… couple more hobby shows and I should be ready to go… biggest problem will be matching paint colors
Yeah today's racing is a joke
Only good racing left is USAC midgets and sprint cars…. Also go back and watch NASCAR races from the 80’s
Yep, they are GREAT drivers!!!!!
Yea, not much into todays NASCAR racing Edward.
Love the Midgets, Sprint Cars and going to small local tracks on a Saturday night! I've been watching a lot of the vintage racing too, I'll put on one of those older races when I sit down at the model bench. A great way to spend a few relaxing hours!!!!!
HELP!!Who's resin gremlin body is that 1:17 into the video????Thank you
That's a good question Chuck. I went back and looked at the vid and noticed he had resin bodies from several people/companies so I couldn't tell. I've seen that body at a few shows in the past so I will keep an eye out for it. When I come across it again I will point it out in the vid and get the name for you. Thank you for watching and hope you have a great New Years!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER Thank you very much for the help. Happy New Year
@@chuckhomolka Happy New year to you too Chuck!
Thank you very much Tim for this really fantastic video you shared with us. I just discovered this video today ,and trust me , I loved it...where is this place. Or can you share also a calendar of shows, so I can try to go there, and get some of this fantastic models. I live in charleston, s.c
And eould lile to know if there's. Any close to here, or adress of where you are in here., thanks and really appreciate your video.....
So glad you enjoyed, check out this vid I made on that. czcams.com/video/f564A7VbrSw/video.html
Let me know if it helped out.
i see alot of cool kits i would love to have how do i find these shows never have seen one in my area [somd]
So glad you enjoyed the video Mike and yes, there were some GREAT kits to be had!
Did you find out what the different colored round dots with numbers were? Price or a reference to a price?
Yes, they were the different prices Nick.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Thanks for that. I don't see shows like this in New Zealand, so I get a buzz and a trip down memory Lane when I look at your videos. Thank you so much.
@@nickkaveney1000 Thank you for the kind words Nick, I'm so glad you enjoy the videos I put out. That means a lot to me.
Aqua rod love em boats
Yes, that is a cool kit Butch!
Been trying to find old kits…Dragon-fire and Evil Iron… they are Motor cycle trikes… just curious if you’ve ever seen them on your journeys… I think the last releases may have been late 80s
Aaaaaaaa, those bring back some great memories!!!!! Back in the 70's I bought those at K-Mart and built them. Not often but once in a while those will show up at a swap meet.
I dream about finding them…. I know they will be expensive …. But they go together great as a pair… I built both twice and no longer have them…. Someday I will come across them I hope… need to find a good online source
@@bmck-8400 I agree, and someday you will get them again.
Nice video but I didn't see anything I could do without
I understand, glad you liked the vid!

Coming to the Murfreesboro show this Saturday??
Not this year Bill, I hate to miss it as I really enjoy that show.
How was the Murfreesboro show Bill?
Go ahead and open it. He won't mind. :D
So true Christopher....... 🙂
Have you heard is round two bringing back the aqua rod that want a fortune for it
I haven't heard anything on it Butch but it wouldn't surprise me if they bring it back out next year.
Now that I'm thinking about it, that kit was out about 10ish maybe 15ish years ago so it's defiantly due to come back out.
Bargin prices wow wish they this price here
Yes, some great prices at this show
HOW DO WE GET THE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SHOWS? I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ONE.
I made a video on that a while back Jay that will point you in the right direction.
czcams.com/video/f564A7VbrSw/video.html
Not sure Jay, but I think I put the link in for that video. Let me know if that helps.
I personally did not know that such a function existed! How do you know when they have such shows?
Hope you enjoyed the vid Rick, the contest footage will be out later today. A few months ago I made a vid on how to find Model Contests, check it out and please let me know if it was helpful for you. What do you like to build Rick?
@@THROTTLEPOWER Actually, it's not the contests that I look for but the swap meets. A place where a person can get models and supplies cheaper than the hobby store prices. I used to have a very large box of extra parts (tires,wheels,engines,etc.) but then a "now ex-girlfriend" happened, and all my extra parts as well as my time invested models got crunched. She went to jail but that doesn't replace my models. I'm just now starting from scratch again.
@@Rick-if5zb I understand Rick, but to find the stuff you want you will have to search out some Model Contests. All your Model Contests have a Vendor area.
@@Rick-if5zb There is one show that is a Slot Car and Model Swap meet (no Model Contest) and it's in Louisville, KY. every year in the Fall. I just went to that and filmed it. It's on my channel and it's a pretty popular show.
@@THROTTLEPOWER My reason for asking is because he said it was in Atlanta, Georgia and that is very close to where I live. I just didn't know where in Atlanta or when this was going on. I probably would have went had I known. Is this Hobby Show something they do yearly or is it more often? That's the kind of info I need.
My stash would have doubled.
Oh yea!!!!!
Men!! I need to send you some money so you can get me those Dollar bags of wheels and tires😄
Those prizes a cheap..lol
Oh yea, the prices were really good this year!!
As normal watching back to front 🤫🤣
🙂👍🤜🤛😁
First still watching but I'll be back
👍👍🙂
I really wish you could come and pick me up and please take me to a couple swamp meets.
They sure are fun, I'd like to be able to go to more of them in the future.
