Didn't go down too well the last time round?

No way of knowing with Tamiya - they don't release sales figures.

A new, boxed version of the 2011 kit sold on eBay for just short of £600 in May and built ones were going for £400+ - which would suggest they got a bit 'desirable'

My guess is it will be a higher price than the current Avante? With a few extras.

 

One sold on TJD

I’m a massive Tamiya fan. In fact it’s probably my favourite RC Brand, however the stuff they are coming out with now is stuff I keep seeing  it felt like yesterday this model was released, and the same for the Rough Rider - The Buggy Champ already re-released the original so it’s like a re-re release. What’s going on!!

i had this & the vanquish /egress  back in the day  and even after a load of thread lock  they wanted to fall apart.  As for racing no chance

These fetch large amounts on ebay, vintage or re re.

 

They look retro mean!
