Don't buy the "Movin' On" kit. It's full of chromed parts, many of which are needed for studio-scale projects and thus must be stripped of their finish before using them. Because of the chrome parts, and the fact this kit is a collector's item, it is very expensive.
There are at least two other versions of this same kit from AMT -- the W-925 and the Alaskan Hauler. The best kit for our needs, IMO, is the Alaskan Hauler. It has the exact same parts in it, but very little chrome, making the parts more useful. Many of the parts that are chromed in the Movin' On version are plain styrene in the Alaskan Hauler.
