Sucks to be a RC "investor" these days LOL. A real collector/enthusiast shouldn't care about re-releases - just be happy because the investors start dumping their portfolios...

Could it be?

wow.. this is tough cause I love all my collection It would have to be the FalconAvanteFoxOptimaRC10.... jesus!! just the Falcon - my first RC

2011: Avante 2011 because I managed to get an original Avante 1988 for a lot less $$ 2012: Super Hotshot - I'm hoping this helps me get an original 1986 for a lot less $$

Some guy is trying to sell these for $1000 on a "pre-sale" on ebay

Quick Question regarding the shell.. Do the releases have the 1988 original stamp on the plastic shell?

Another one that comes to mind is the BigWig - A one off - aniversary special that, in my book, is a highly collectable buggy. I'll have one - one day.. Nice Fox by the way!!!!

ooops - deleted

I stand corrected.

Maybe someone should move that 2012 re-release thread in the General section into the proper section?

I think you will see new box art with the name "Super Hotshot" Just like the decals and the official name

Thanks for the video! Looks like the Supershot decals I still have will come in handy.

I'd assume it's as close to the original as the Hostshot Re-re was. But we can only speculate until it shows itself.

I thought it looked a little to good.

Just a question... Does everyone think that picture on the Blog is the actual re-release or the original?

58517 Super Shot http://tamiyablog.com/2011/11/future-2012-tamiya-releases/ Oh wait - this is in the general section.

I'm still waiting for the re-released Gold Metallic Pokemon-Transformer Bruiser.

My connection with building kits is the fond memories of my father helping me many years ago.

There's collecting a few models to re-live that childhood memory or run on the weekends, and then there is hoarding which is a mental sickness. I've seen alot of both

I'm trying to identify the original part#'s for both the front and back tires on a Turbo Ultima II I believe they are the same as the Ultima 2. I'm guessing the back tires are OT-66's??? While I'm at it - possibly a chassis part# as well.. Thanks.

It's a Turbo Ultima if it look like this. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160666675012?ssPage...984.m1586.l2649 or A regular Ultima if it looks like this http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...23&id=10490

I just stripped paint of an old White Monster Beetle Shell. I sprayed it on and in 10 minutes the paint came off... I still need to do a 2nd small clean-up, but it worked well. http://www.googone.com/GG-Browse-Products/...-Spray-Gel-14oz

More stuff the follow soon... http://www.ebay.ca/sch/brecker69/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562

Wow - I was trying to figure out a good way of getting my collection off of their wheels. Are you cool with me completely copying this idea from you? Nice collection by the way!!

Hey be nice would you - I live in Canada! Thanks for the info.
