RA1028 indications are pretty spot on, here are mine as well some additions, but please keep in mind that prices can change quickly and significantly from time to time, for example Super Shot, Avante and Egresss seem to have risen alot lately while I guess 3 speeds will drop a bit due to the new F350:

1) Sand Scorcher $800

2) Holiday Buggy $200

3) Toyota Hilux $1200

4) Super Champ $350

5) Porsche 956 $200

6) Fast Attack Vehicle $250

7) Toyota Bruiser $1000

8) Boomerang $200

9) Blackfoot $350

10) Porsche 959 $350

11) Striker $100

12) Falcon $150

13) Avante $600

14) Fox $250

15) Wild One $250

My thinking is the other way. To me, the release of the new F-350 means Tamiya will not re-issue the Bruiser. To us, the F-350 cannot replace the Bruiser  just like the Clod Buster, Juggernaut or TXT can't either. So the price will go up instead. It is just my opinion.

I am also a vintage Tamiya collector and fan and I think it can partially replace the old ones, namely for nice scale runners and conversions, just take a look in rcmt.net and here how many metal 3 speed based conversions exist. Not everyone cares about the old metal originals like we do, but many just want a scale truck with a gearbox and this I think will influence the price of originals as the public/demand for the originals will be smaller, maybe not so much for NIBs but for runners and nice restored ones.

Thanks guys...so on average a kit loses about 40% of it's value once it has been built? Good news for buyers and bad for sellers!
