I'd wager that these will never hit discount. They will match the supply to meet the demand. They won't make the same mistake that they made with the Worlds re-release 10 years ago Here in the UK it seems that the allocated stock might already be sold out. I wouldn't mind having one of these, just for the stamped & laser-etched parts and the unique box. I don't really have a problem with the price but it is a bit galling, when I paid less than £150 each for two of the classics in 2013.

Just reading RC10talk and it looks like the RC10T might be coming back too. I assume these parts listed on the AE website are exclusive to the truck?

Avante 2011 (58489) - I told you it was coming back!
Wandy replied to Twinfan's topic in Re-Release Discussions
They have re-released far more obscure kits than the 2001 so I don't think it's that. I just think it's Tamiya being Tamiya and throwing darts at board and seeing where they land. A lot of their re-re's have been very logical but some of them really haven't. Personally I think the 2001 would be a smash. It's the best looker of the LWB Avante chassis kits. -

Wandy replied to Twinfan's topic in Re-Release Discussions
They go for big money on ebay so I don't really buy that. A NIP set of 2001 wheels and the bodysets from 10 years ago go for crazy money. -

Wandy replied to Twinfan's topic in Re-Release Discussions
It's the 2001 that they need to bring back, rather than another re-re-re of the 2011. All the parts are there to bring back the 2001 so I have no idea what is stopping them from doing so. -
Kyosho Rocky re-re will it happen ?
Wandy replied to madmickmalone's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Yeah I think Rocky & Turbo Rocky will happen, but not yet. One of the LWB Mids will be next & then probably Lazer ZX after that. Then they will move down to stuff like the Rocky & hopefully the niche stuff like the Gallop. -
Managed to grab one of the motors for my kit. They seem pretty sparse at the moment, here in the UK anyway. Grabbed one from the handful that MB Models got in stock yesterday.
-
Just had an email from Modelsport confirming that my kit is now in the post.
-
Where have you heard that?
-
Delayed till mid-Feb now, here in the UK. No surprise really.

Images of the actual re-re finally arrive. And it looks like they really have done it justice. https://ameblo.jp/yokomo-product/entry-12829682431.html?fbclid=IwAR2OANVbEzfUpoi25dOXZzXN_1X_heCo5jKBsLm9iwn5XgGGGp4CRmRCpiw_aem_ATm4qvyZNn2VCVr7qHoNg8HZE7naTucZHeP3x8Sk8da0uOWk_VMMa514pFBRwXMpc14

RC10 Crystal to be displayed at SEMA Las Vegas
Wandy replied to Raman36's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Also ordered one from Modelsport. I was hoping the price would be closer to £250 but hey-ho. Will be interesting to see what next year's Classic costs, assuming that it's happening. I got two of them for a total of £290 back in 2013. Somehow I don't think they will be that this time, although I did import them from the USA and managed to avoid import duty. -
Hotshot 2 (original black body) rere announced
Wandy replied to taffer's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Good luck with that. I’ve been waiting for a NOS 3-hole C-tree to come available for 20 years. Considering the kit got a measly one month production run, I think it’s fair to assume that spare parts trees never made it out of the factory. -

Wandy replied to Raman36's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Have a look at their fb page and read their comments. I’d say with near certainty they are going to do a re-run of the classic next year. I think they might do the RC10T too. I hope they bring back the Worlds too as I want a runner to go with my shelfer. This time they can bring it back without the faulty transmission though, lol. -

Actually, just reading their comments on Facebook, AE are saying 2024 will be a ‘great year’ when they were quizzed about a re-run of the classic. Looks like they might be bringing it back for the 40th anniversary then.
