I don't see the kits you mentioned. Did they list prices?

Not as of yet but we'll post the news when it becomes available -unless blaster beats us to it again.

I don't know about Atlanta - Freetime just lists it as "out of stock", and Dragon USA doesn't even list it anymore - not even in their upcomings for this year! Even Dragon's official website doesn't mention it.

Where did you get the info on Atlanta? I went to Freetime and their pre-order page for ships and they didn't list anything on any ship. I've got three ships on my all time wish list and Atlanta is one of them. I'm going to start saving now for it.

I preordered the Texas too, she'll be my only 1/350 ship.
I also stumbled across a find and placed my order this morning. HobbyEasy has Orange Hobby 1/700 LST 1179 Newport. Awesome! My little amphib fleet is coming along - stash wise anyway.

ROGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not seen you in years
So glad
If i recall you can click on it as a preorder..or maybe it was notify me.
A buddy brought all this to my attention. He too wants the Atlanta. I think he said it saw it as a listing on some other site. Way i figure it, if it a preorder then do it or a notification that way maybe Dragon will get message it is indeed wanted

Great news Steve,
Will have a look, Texas is a must, and I hope the Rodney is 1941 fit.
Cheers
