I built a 959 in my days... I am glad that I got to work with it!

If Tamiya ever re-re it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

I was just looking at it, it shot up to 87.00, it was 45 dollars.[&o] No thanks I'll get the original grasshopper sometime.

lol upps

I would like to see they re-release the willy's wheeler. If they do re-release it, I think the chassis will be the same one on the wild willy 2. Hopefully they will re-release the willy's wheeler.

Tamiya kind of did..

In 2000, the re-release the Wheeler bodyset that would fit onto the WW-2 chassis.. as well as a list of parts (using whatever's in Tamiya's ctalog) to make it work..

You need to change the front knuckles, front body mount, and wheel / tires (from their Junior series of RCs..)

So yeah, it was re-released.. just not as a whole kit..

My prediction is the Mud Blaster might be next since they already turned up production on that body for the brat, and the chassis for the frog, it seems to be logical to me.

ElectricGuy007

No way...too expensive for a used in bad shape r/c....[:'(]

mechanizeddeath

i second that on the mud blaster! i'll probably get one of those too.

clear bodied mud blaster would be kind of cool actually...

Lunchboxer

It is just as easy to do Monster Beetle, though.. as Tamiya still makes the Beetle shell.... !!

They Do? With which kit?

GTRice

I see, didn't know that. So I guess it was just a conversion kit for the wild willy 2. Hopefully they will re-release the full kit of it.

mechanizeddeath

hmm... well in that case, monster beetle AND mud blaster! maybe we should write tamiya and let them know! i'd buy one or both! [8D]

Lunchboxer

For the Blitzer Beetle.. the kit is discontinued, but the body is not!

He guys, sorry for bringing this up again.

Does anyone know if the Monster Beetle is up for a re-release? I'm in the market for buying a perfect build classic, but they are $$$$.

I want one soo bad... [:@]

Lunchboxer

No idea... certainly possible.. Tamiya has all the parts to make one... (Frog is re-released, so many of the parts are there already, and the shell is still being made, the driver figure, etc.)

It would be one of the easier one to re-released for sure..

No news on it yet, though...

Dante77

That's bad. Don't want to spend a fortune on one when its re-re'd this or next year! []

Lunchboxer

Why not get a cheaper runner?!

The Mad Modder

I'd like a monster beetle rerelease as well.

The Mad Modder

True. There are so many scalpers out there. I hate it when jerks charge outrageous prices because they know people can't get something anywhere else.[:@] Like when the Nintendo Wii came out and were in short supply. There were people charging $1,000 and more for a system that they paid $250 for.(sorry for the off-topic story, but I felt it necessary to show a point)

I would love to buy a re-release of the Falcon. I bought the original in 1987 and loved it. My brother and i recently dug up all of our cars and parts. My Falcon is still in great shape but will need some repair. I wish i could still buy an original new kit so i can build it with my son. This car brings back so many memories for me.

Krazy Chicken

i'd like the original blackfoot rereleased, that way all im missing is the king blackfoot , then i will almost be complete

Dante77

One of the latest re-releases in December was The Boomerang.
Thats good news for me, now I can get a NIB bodyset cheap for my vintage Boomerang.

Honestly I don't think we will see a Blackfoot re-re, as the series has been continued till today. A Falcon... Why not? But was it really that popular?

My favourite re-release would be The Fox. But I don't think that will happen, as it was kind of rered with the 1/16 Tamtech series.

I would like to see the Avante and not the Mk II or the Mammoth Dump Truck
