Always enjoy reading this thread. Am still a noob with collecting re-releases (Lunch Box Gold, Brat Metallic special, Super Hot Shot + 1 more coming), but seeing the stuff here brings a lot of encouragement & fun. Can't post pics now (insufficient posts) but will provide the links later.

Welcome !
You said 1 more coming - let me guess Avante 2012

Been rather quiet here. I guess its becos there is no new re-res yet.
Becos of that, I bought myself a Durango DEX410v3. The box is so small that I can keep it in the office, away from me wifey

kyosho1,
Your guess is almost there...I think the Avante 2011 will be my last or 2nd last re-release before I stop collecting.

The +1 is a Bruiser bought in late Sept, but no time to fix yet...sigh.

BTW, was wondering if there is a vintage gathering/parade/'race' at an indoor track in the works?

I doubt you can stop what if Egress is released? Boomerang & Wild One are gorgeous. How could you leave out Hornet & Grasshopper? Even if you dont like them, the beautiful artistic boxes are irresistible

Wild One bought liau. Waiting for Egress

Haven't run the Durango on any track yet. Can't find time away from family.
Ran it in a carpark once only - Walau super fast. My first experience with brushless 6.5t & LiPo batts. Can't wait for the day to fly off the ramp to clear double jumps.
Very nice buggy.

That's why the Avante could be the 2nd last one.....the last spot reserved for the Grasshopper or Hornet, as they were the lowest-priced models during the 80s & really nice! You read my mind again!

Check out the may-be-released Candy Green Grasshopper in the URL tamiya.com/english/tamiyafair/12TF_index.htm
Saw it in the UStream video earlier on. ustream.tv/recorded/27083372

Seems like you like special re-released type. More eg. to consider- Jun Hornet, green grasshopper, Avante BS, red sand rover, metallic hotshot. Thats a niche way of collecting re-res.

Welcome bro wkfoong. Vintage collection is a passion ... It grows on you slowly and surely. Every vintage piece has a story and a memory for us

I lost count ... Think at least 65 of my 79 cars are vintages
