eradinus 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, does anyone know if the Avante 2011 will be re-released again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njmlondon 570 Posted January 23, 2017 I hope so! Really annoyed I did not get one. Some people on ebay trying to sell them for £900 which seems a bit unlikely but if they don' re-re-re then it may look like a bargain in a few years time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert5000 928 Posted January 23, 2017 When the nib prices get high enough and they've re-released everything else (or sooner,) they might deem it financially viable to go full circle and start all over again. If you check the "sold listings" box on ebay though you see they aren't selling for really stupid amounts, though still very much a painful amount of money. It's a relative short period of time since the re release so I'm not holding my breath for another run yet. The Black Special had (from what I've read on here,) such a short production period, so maybe they could shift some units if they tossed in a bonus shell and the regular decals?

eradinus 0 Posted January 23, 2017 It's my favorite RC car, and I would really love for the kit to be re re-released, now that I can finally afford it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christam 205 Posted January 23, 2017 Funny you should mention this... While trolling through the Tamiya section on Modelsport, I noticed something on the left. See it? But when you click on it, it takes you Here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert5000 928 Posted January 23, 2017 Huh! +yeah, @eradinus, I agree, it's absolutely bonkers how tantalizing the Avante is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted January 24, 2017 Hopefully the 2001 would be re-re'd before the 2011 gets a re-re-re Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert5000 928 Posted January 24, 2017 @eradinus since they just announced the re-release of the Top Force I would say another run of the Avante might be closer than we think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eradinus 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Yes, it seems like it, doesn't it? I will hold off on purchasing an Egress, and instead wait for re re of either the Avante 2011 or 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert5000 928 Posted January 24, 2017 Oh no, never resist. You most certainly need both the Egress and a re re Avante. Trust me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason the Man TGX was listed under the Avante. There is no Avante re release and the issue has been resolved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huasze 24 Posted January 29, 2017 The Avante 2011 is a superior machine to the 1988 version. I recently completed my 2011 and compared it to the 88 one. It looks nicer, has thicker shock towers and the front turnpiece(dunno what's that called) is cnc metal instead of cast iron. The shell has a overspray(no overspray or cutting needed for the 88) film as well. I'm sure the 2011 will be rereleased again. If you get 1 off eBay, get the 2011. Don't bother with the 1988---that belongs on the shelf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eradinus 0 Posted January 29, 2017 I certainly hope so. Although on Tamiya USA's website, it says the model has been discontinued. So hopefully it gets re released in a new form true to its original form. ie. avante 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corpse Thrower 16 Posted January 29, 2017 I wouldn't mind seeing the Vanquish re-released, and the 2001. I've got a new built Avante on the shelf and another two still in the boxes, so not worried if they don't release it again! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted January 30, 2017 In my opinion yes, the Avante will be rereleased in some year. Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted January 30, 2017 I;m hoping it comes back , i would like to get two this time . They were not that cheap to buy 3 or more at one time . They need to make the high cost ones for a few years , so we can save up to get one OR a LOT more . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huasze 24 Posted January 30, 2017 It took them 12 years to re-re-re the Top Force. So maybe sometime beyond 2020. I love re releases even if I have them already. Brings down the prices for all toy lovers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
