CultTVman’s Retro Rocket Update #3 – August 2025
I’ve finally caught up (mostly) after the IPMS National Convention last weekend. The event was a blast on so many levels. Sales were excellent, the turnout was great. The contest was impressive. The best thing was to see all my friends and customers. These events are so important for the hobby. They provide model builders a place to show their hard work, meet up with friends, and find those kits they can’t get elsewhere. I put together a video of some of the Sci-Fi and Figures. Of course, there was much more!
Next year’s IPMS National Convention is happening in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, August 5-8, 2026. We are going to be there again, so mark you calendar!
The best selling kit for us was the Sealab! A lot of people were excited to see the return of the classic kit. If you want to see what all the fuss was about, check out my What’s in the Box video
Just in time for the IPMS Nationals, we released a new CultTVman Hobbyshop Catalog! It is updated with a few new items, and we’ve removed a few sold out products. Everyone seems to like the catalogs!
If you want to order a catalog, they are available at the CultTVman Shop
