PYRO Laramie Stage Ghost - February 2021 Update

[showrods]

Unfortunately, I don't have one but, I am seeking one.

Let me recap what I've been able to cobble together thus far:

Way back on March 13, 2010, someone named "Pete" started a thread here on the Stage Ghost.  He stated that he was from Atlantis Model Company and that they had all of the "tools" for the kit with the exception of the chrome tree and the instructions.  

He asked whether someone could send him the tree and instructions so that Atlantis could do a "special run" of the Stage Ghost.  A few on the thread pointed out that the chrome tree was shared by several kits in the Pyro line - including The Serpent.

Some back and forth for a few years on this thread and it seemed that the consensus was that the chrome mold did in fact exist.

Flash forward to 2017 and The Serpent is re-issued.

Flash forward to 2021 and:  still no Stage Ghost; "Pete" is listed as "Deleted Member" with 0 posts.  Did he delete his own account or was he "deleted"? Was/is he a legit employee at Atlantis or was he just someone trying to obtain chrome parts and instructions? 

Given all of this:  does anyone have any intel on the re-issuing of the Stage Ghost?  Are we any closer to seeing it today than we were 11 years ago? (if we really were close 11 years ago).  Can anyone confirm with 100% certainty that the molds really do exist?

I'll take this



Members have the ability to delete their own postings and ultimately to delete their own account.

Thanks for that info Paul. I'll assume that he deleted his own account unless someone says otherwise.

A Peter Vetri is listed as President of Atlantis. Try contacting him thru Atlantis.

The chrome tree is at R2. Recently R2 sold Atlantis some tooling but what was sold was not itemized. There is interest in reissuing 'Stage' but by who now......no one is talking. I have a nice box with junker built......this kit and ZZR are my grails.

Looks as if we've done a complete 180 on this kit.  Ten years ago it was the chrome mold whose whereabouts was in question.  Today, apparently the chrome mold is present and accounted for but it's now the mold for the rest of the kit whose whereabouts is unknown.      It's no darn wonder that we're not seeing this kit re-issued.  

So come on!!  Whoever has these molds get off the schneid and get this kit re-issued while some of us are still alive to enjoy it!!!
