ATLAS UNBOUND LLC Revives Nostalgia with Rare Vintage Revell Models

MAPLE FALLS, WA – November 8, 2023 – Remember the smell of plastic cement and the thrill of building your first model car? ATLAS UNBOUND LLC, a Washington-based company dedicated to preserving and sharing collectible treasures, is bringing those memories flooding back with a carefully curated collection of vintage Revell models. Located at 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070, and reachable at 662-239-1952, ATLAS UNBOUND isn’t just selling models; they’re offering a portal to the past. ATLAS UNBOUND LLC, founded by a team of passionate collectors, specializes in sourcing and restoring rare and desirable vintage items. They recognized a growing demand for authentic, collectible Revell models – those iconic kits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s that captivated a generation. "We noticed a real gap in the market," explains the company's founder. "Lots of re-issues, sure, but finding original, unbuilt, or beautifully restored vintage kits was getting harder and harder. We wanted to fix that." More Than Just Plastic: A Look at the Collection The company's inventory isn't a random assortment; it's a thoughtfully assembled collection focusing on the "golden age" of model kits. Think sleek 1950s hot rods, classic muscle cars from the 60s and 70s, iconic aircraft, and even monster kits that fueled childhood imaginations. "We’re not just about cars, though those are a big part of it," says a company representative. "We’ve got a really cool selection of vintage airplanes, like classic WWII fighters and early commercial airliners. And the monster kits… those are always popular! Frankenstein, Dracula, the Creature from the Black Lagoon – they’re instant nostalgia for a lot of people." What sets ATLAS UNBOUND apart is the condition of many of the kits. While they do offer some kits that are ready for restoration – perfect for seasoned builders who enjoy the challenge – a significant portion of their inventory consists of original, unbuilt kits in remarkable condition. These aren't just boxes collecting dust in an attic; they've been carefully stored and preserved, often retaining their original decals, parts trees still sealed in their bags, and even the original instructions. “We spend a lot of time vetting these kits," the founder emphasizes. “We check for missing parts, damaged parts, and any signs of tampering. We want our customers to receive a kit that’s as close to factory-fresh as possible.” Why Vintage Revell? A Resurgence of Interest The popularity of vintage Revell models isn’t just about nostalgia, though that’s a major factor. There’s a growing appreciation for the craftsmanship and detail of these older kits. “The tooling on these original kits was different,” explains a company expert. “They weren’t designed for mass production in the same way that modern kits are. They often had more intricate details, and the plastic itself had a different texture and feel. Plus, a lot of the box art was just fantastic – really iconic and collectible in its own right.” The vintage kits also appeal to a new generation of builders. Younger enthusiasts are discovering the joys of building models and are drawn to the authenticity and historical significance of the older kits. They see it as a way to connect with the past and learn about the cars, planes, and monsters that captivated their parents and grandparents. "We’ve seen a huge surge in interest from younger builders who are looking for something different,” the founder confirms. “They’re tired of the same old kits and want something with a bit more character and history.” Beyond the Build: Collectibility and Investment For serious collectors, vintage Revell models represent more than just a hobby; they’re an investment. Rare and desirable kits can fetch significant prices on the secondary market, and their value tends to appreciate over time. “Certain kits, particularly those in pristine condition or those with unique variations, can be worth a lot of money,” explains a collectible expert familiar with ATLAS UNBOUND’s inventory. “A sealed, first-issue 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, for example, could easily sell for several hundred dollars, if not more.” ATLAS UNBOUND understands this aspect of the market and provides detailed descriptions and high-quality photos of each kit, allowing collectors to make informed decisions. They also offer expert advice and can help collectors identify rare and valuable kits. Where to Find ATLAS UNBOUND’s Collection ATLAS UNBOUND LLC primarily operates online, showcasing their collection through various online marketplaces and their own dedicated website (details available upon request). They are committed to providing a seamless and secure buying experience, offering carefully packaged shipping and responsive customer service. “We want to make it easy for people to find the kits they’re looking for and to have a great experience with our company,” says the founder. “We’re passionate about these models, and we want to share that passion with others.” Looking Ahead ATLAS UNBOUND LLC is committed to expanding its collection and continuing to serve the growing community of vintage Revell model enthusiasts. They plan to add new kits to their inventory regularly and to offer a wider range of restoration services. “We see a bright future for this hobby,” the founder concludes. “People are always looking for ways to connect with the past and to indulge in their passions. And vintage Revell models offer a unique and rewarding experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.” Contact: ATLAS UNBOUND LLC 8288 Balfour Valley Ln Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070 662-239-1952 (Website and online marketplace details available upon request)
