Just a small effort and we're done

I don't think Citroën BX and Visa could sell well.

I'm sure it could !! BX already sold well at Profil24. and there was so much liveries on a Visa, it was a so popular car at that time... and most of all it's a group B !!

I think it is hazardous to draw conclusions on the sales figures (120-150 pces ?) of a resin kit (that was never re-released by Profil, in contrast with the Delta, Audi and Metro that were reissued once or twice).

Of course I would buy them in plastic form because I am also a real group B aficionado, but honestly I doubt they would sell thousands of them

I don't especially draw conclusions from a resin kit sale (or in this case why counting with a reissue so ? 300 instead of 150 ? we're still far away from thousands models)
My thought was more about how many modelers can't buy a multimedia kit of those ones but would buy a plastic kit ??
for sure they are less popular than a S1 or a S4 and a lot of modelers havent' bought a S4 or S1 either and would if it was a plastic kit.
You're right S1 and S4 are way more popular than visa or BX (even in France)
but I would love to see something different from the usuall Gr B models !
and that could also make modelers buy... in my opinion...

Oh I would love too ! Talbot Lotus, Vauxhall Chevette, Opel Ascona...and Citroën

But a company must think in terms of "obvious" popularity. Could it sell 10 thousands copies (I don't know if this figure is realistic, please someone confirm or not) of a Citroën BX ? A car that made 3 WRC appearances, had catastrophic results and only had 2 different liveries (works and Total IIRC).

Nonetheless, dreaming doesn't cost a thing

I know, I know, selling 150 resin kits or selling 10000 (?!) plastic models isn't the same song, of course, and not sure only the price would make so many modelers buy one of the less successful Gr. B... that's right... Even with a popular subject as Gr. B...
hard to say in fact, are the group B fans willing to build all group B models or only the most popular and representive...?!
offer creating demand is probably not the philosophy of the brands by the way !!
so yes we can dream...
