Will they or wont they?

Im just wondering when and if other rc manufacturers will jump in the re-release bandwagon which tamiya is doing very well in?

 The only other obvious manufacturer that could possibly throw their hats in, is Kyosho? And if they ever do, what better car to re-release nonother than the Optima? Is it because no ones given them any attention since this site is solely called what it is? Surely they must have stumbled into this site and seen everything that goes on here? Hows about ebay? the amount of times you see an NIB optima fetch well over the $500 range.

 I wonder if any other manufacturers will ever jump on? I highly doubt it but the optimist that i am, perhaps one will step into the circle?

Your thoughts?

 I agree that Kyosho should re release something,but when they released the small the Small display cars they probley got a good idea about how bad people wanted a re re Kyosho. One thing to think about is $500.00 is not that much when you look at the price of the Lazer that they make now. 

 Kawada jumped on the band wagon with the Wolf Re release,but most people dont even know what a Wolf is much less want a re re one. So if you dont know what a Wolf is look it up and see what you missed. Dont feel bad as i missed it as well.

  I would like to see some other re restuff but most of the stuff i want to see i fear most other people do not really need.

I'd love a re-release of the Optima.  (Sigh) Brings back great memories of my very first rc car

they did the blizzard.

 You are right about the blizzard,but was there ever a gap with the blizzard? Im not up on the blizzard but Kyosho still has pictures of it on thier website.

You're right! but comeon, there's not exactly a big fan base of "blizzard" collectors here as compared to the "Optima" now is there? I have no idea what could've motivated them to re-release that, to test the water an all.

 For those of you who are hard core RC10 (associated) more to the point, the "M.I.P 4wd conversion" kit. I once sent out a long email to the guy who owns it. Sent him everything and i mean everything, to try and convince him in re-releasing that now collectors kit and all he had answered me with was "Not interested" i couldnt understand his mentality behind the reason, i mean it's not exactly gonna be short on takers and with the 4wd conversion kits going over the $1000 mark? thats crazy. 

I do hope Kyosho has'nt fallen into this mindset about cars of their yesteryears, which is why i think we really are fortunate that Tamiya has given us a 2nd chance to own cars that we once had owned or missed out on.
