bertberr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Very nice! I have to say that looks rather special (in a good way...). Wonder what the price will be over here? Can't remember what the last rere retailed for in UK - anybody remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertberr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Gulp! But thanks anyway. Do you recall if that is ball park vs when the 2011 ReRe first came out in errr... 2011. Inflation adjusted perhaps 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The vanquish is coming in for a rere as well which will probably be a bit cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted an Avante but I might bide my time for used ones to start popping up once the hype dies down a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm inclined to agree. Already starting to see the odd NIB cropping up, no doubt there'll be a few Vanquish shelfers shaken out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamantium Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm waiting for a top force evolution re-release. Avante is already sitting on my desk as a shelf queen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
