I understand the Avante Black Special is being re-issued this year(2023) I have a chance to get an Avante Black special(first re-issued back in 2018i think) for 500. I save on tax and shipping so I think it's a great deal. It's completely sealed and new from a collector that is cutting back.

I know the black special came soon after the Avante re-release, again in 2018? Then again in 2022? And now again in 2023?

What is the exact time line of the Avante black ? I'm wondering why it so "limited edition" when they keep reissuing it so many times. I believe the original 2011 blue one is now way more rare than the black will ever be.

you should try posting this question on the tamiya club forum. vintage guys and collectors post there and can probably answer your question better than anyone here.
