Wandy 1527 Posted October 31, 2013 Nope, not a wind-up, announced here! https://www.facebook.com/mokeikagaku No more £60 decals! Will they re-release the kit eventually though? Hmmmm. What a year for iconic buggy re-releases we are having. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1350 Posted October 31, 2013 WHAT????!!!! This will be bought along with the Egress. Will switch out bodies once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted October 31, 2013 If this is a ploy to sell more Egress kits then it might just be a ploy that works. Certainly, I am not going to wait around for a full kit re-release so two Egress kits it shall be, although the second one will have to wait until mid next year. Let's just hope that they reissue the original wheels & tyres too though eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumimasen 24 Posted October 31, 2013 That is pretty awesome! Will get one for my Egress too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
94eg! 834 Posted October 31, 2013 Should include the 2001 specific driver figure too I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya Era 778 Posted October 31, 2013 So the body set is going to be a hop up for egress,,Then maybe these 2 small holes on the upper deck explain why they are there,,,to fit the driver maybe?? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddaenen1 278 Posted October 31, 2013 This is fantastic news for me! I have been looking for a new bodyset for my Avante 2001 for quite some time since the previous owner of mine didn't even manage to paint it in the right colour let alone the amaturistic way the decals were applied but never bought one because the prices are absolutely rediculous.

Percymon 2184 Posted October 31, 2013 I wonder how many of those decal sellers with stupid prices are now wishing they'd sold all their stocks out at more realistic prices ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems the only reason. - 2 kits for the price of one. If tamiya are cute they'll make the bonus parts a set of white A2K1 wheels ! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dang, the 2001 body set had the special driver figure that bolted onto the body itself. If they expect you to use the standard driver figure, I would wager he's not going to be included with the body set (just a hunch). Oh well, as long as the decal color is accurate fluorescent color. Oh, and I sure hope you can purchase the decals separately. BTW: How do they expect the nose of the 2001 to fit through the Egress-2.0's front damper stay? Perhaps they will include a new damper stay? Oh, and will they include a 2001 undertray? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted October 31, 2013 Wow, how may posts about this unconfirmed new! Are we sure this is a real new or a fake? Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted October 31, 2013 I highly doubt they would issue the body set without a driver figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For instance he announced the news of the 037 body set well before anyone on here knew about it, including Tamiyablog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted October 31, 2013 Ok, I hope he is right, I'll buy the Avante 2001 bodyset for sure. Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
