The Dragon is back... 47457 Fire Dragon (2020) Scource: Tamiyablog & Mokei Kagaku.
ChrisT 1,584 Posted October 15, 2020 This was an easy one for Tamiya to re-release. Having already released the Terra Scorcher (4 damper model ) the Fire Dragon isn't that much different. With no bearings, CVD's, rear sway bar it should be cheaper that the TS. Here's hoping. Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo 2,140 Posted October 16, 2020 I was hoping for a Thunder Dragon but seeing as I missed this as a re re, I’ll get it as a re re re and hope for a re re re thunder shot and a re re thunder dragon next year. 2 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting too excited on the Thundershot family re-releases as I have them already. But I am for the Falcon, my first Tamiya. I'd buy 2 for the sake of it 3 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go, as I expected cheaper than the Terra Scorcher being a lower spec buggy.

Took a while and an arm and a leg I rekon the Thunder Dragon will come eventually, they've done them all now so no reason why not.

BlackSeaRC 456 Posted November 5, 2020 Come on Tamiya, how about for 2021 you actually release a NEW model that will be a future classic rather than just re-releasing old models? Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr 1,096 Posted November 5, 2020 Because that would require investment, much more profitable (in short term) to just rehash what you're already designed. And anyway they don't seem to have had too much trouble selling all/most of their previous ReRe offerings to nostalgic old fools like me for often eye watering prices (VQS anyone?).

Stormbringer 8,740 Posted November 5, 2020 I suppose the re re's give me a chance to get some of them that i couldnt afford or couldnt get 1st time around lol 🍻 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
