Does Anyone Know When New Re-re's Come Out/are Planned?

Recommended Posts

I like most of you on here, love the re-re as its a reminder of our childhood. Over the past 3 years since I got back into this fantastic hobby, i've been trying to see what old cars will be re released, and what ones are not that I have desperately wanted, I've gone a either purchased BNIB (Marui Ninja!!), or second hand on ebay (Tamiya Monster Beetle!).

I'd love to know what cars are available re-re and what ones may come out - is there any way of finding this out? :lol:

Many thanks!

That would be nice to know, but I don't think there is such a list as most companies do not disclose their future product plans. I thought I saw a thread on this a little while ago...

haha yup it would be nice to know wouldn't it! What about a list of models that have currently been re-released already? Also do we know of those that have been re-released in recent years, what ones have stopped production, or are they all still available??

Thanks!

Geez - do you think that is because it was not very popular? At least when kits are re-released, it means people who buy and then sell are going to sell them cheaper than the complete originals yet effectively we have exactly the same car :lol:

Surely there is a list somewhere of what cars have been re-released though??

Wasn't it July 2009?

I'd guess the Buggy Champ went out of production so they could put the Sand Scorcher into production. It's still pretty easy to find Buggy Champ kits.

Tamiya are very secretive about their release plans, but someone did claim they had an inside source who said they were looking at the 959. If this were true, it is possible that they are looking at releasing a kit with a completely new shell in 1/10 scale based on a TT-01E or DF-03RA chassis, as there were also rumours that Tamiya had to destroy the 1/12 959 body shell moulds after a licensing dispute with Porsche.

That the kit was originally released with different chassis .

They are re-released with same body as the old kit but it has a new type of chassis now.

are we calling XB RTRs re-res too?

Mini Cooper Racing (blue on M03) was rehashed on M05... is that what's listed above?

Mini Monte Carlo shell was a M01 kit but came back as a prebuilt RTR XB on M03.

If we're only counting the shell... then there's a few more kits who share the same base shell too

eg DynaBlaster, the R32 GTRs, 22B STi Subarus etc

I have loads of Countach original chassis, if you want one, I can discuss a nice price for you including shipping to where you are based.

Sorry if mentioned before, but 92200/92201 (XBTT01/DF03-RA) Castrol Celica '93 and 92203/92204 (XBTT01/DF03-RA) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Iv Monte Carlo both re issue bodies on the TT01 XB or DF03-RA assembly platform.

Ah right, do you mean a new type of plastic was used for the chasis though as opposed to a different 'design' of chassis?

No he means a different type of chassis, not plastic. Like the black porsche "re-re" - really just a re-re bodyshell on a GT-01 chassis.

Ahhh so in other words they have totally cheated? It's a case of a the bodyshell looking like the olf car but it sits on basically, a COMPLETELY different type of car altogether??
