What Kits Do You Want Reissued?
Recently, AMT (under their Racing Champions management) has gone reissue happy, producing new releases of old kits with alarming regularity and usually not even checking to see how far gone the tooling is (look at the incomplete and flash riddled parts in AMT's reissue of the MPC 1967 GTO). Revell, has reinvigorated their SSP program, and many kits are getting their second go-around in the SSP series (like the Miss Deal). Even Tamiya has gotten in on the reissue act, giving us new releases of their old Porsche 935 and BMW 320i.
So, what kits, (provided the manufacturer is still around), would you like to see brought back? I'll give my list after a few posts.

Re: What Kits Do You Want Reissued?
Would like to see Tamiya do the same mass reissue program they did about 5 years ago. In particular would like to see their Nissan 180sx and Mazda FC RX7.

Opel GT (I missed it on the last BCP) 1959 Buick Lesabre (I want to build a replica of my cousin Barry's car) (MPC) 1971 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler stock car kit (need a couple of these for slot car bodies) (MPC) Chevy Laguna/Malbu stock car (ditto) (MPC) Dodge Magnum (same as the last two) 1975 AMC Matador (my current slot car body, and it's beginning to look a little tattered) (MPC) Wild Willy Borsch fuel altered (the coolest fuel altered ever) all of the old Modified Stocker kits (more slot car bodies) all of the MPC and AMT modified kits (they're actually bringing back a couple of these this year) the Grant King sprint car kit Datsun 280ZX Turbo Johan all of their AMC kits. all of their Chrysler kits. 1961 Olds F85 (neat car, plus I want one of those 215ci V8's to stuff into an Aoshima MGB) 1970 Torino stocker Revell-Monogram Rick Dobbertin's J2000 Pro Street Lincoln LSC Pro Street. Matt & Debby Hay's Pro Street T-bird.

If anyone wants the Monogram RX-7 PM me, there is one at my LHS that has been there forever.
As far as reissues, the only thing I can think of is the McLaren F1 car that Tamiya had out for a while a few years ago. I'm pretty much satisfied with my model selection at the moment. But I guess I am just not in the buying mood.
