Originally known for detailed historical vehicles – think classic cars, iconic airplanes, and formidable military machines – these kits were the thing to collect back in the day. But finding them in good condition, or even at all, has become a real challenge. That’s where ICY PLAYS steps in. “We noticed a huge gap in the market,” explains a representative from ICY PLAYS LLC. “People are craving hands-on hobbies, something to disconnect from screens and really make something. And there's a real nostalgia factor with Hachette kits. Folks remember building these with their parents or grandparents, and they want to share that experience with their own kids. The problem was, they were hard to come by. We decided to change that.” ICY PLAYS isn’t just stocking these kits, though. They’re actively sourcing and restoring them where needed, ensuring that every kit arrives in the best possible condition. They’re also expanding the range, offering both original releases and newer, updated versions of beloved classics. What Makes Hachette Kits Special? Okay, so what's the big deal?
