Is it just me, or are the marketing drones with the various model companies just totally clueless? We KNOW that Italeri/Rev-Germany bought out the Matchbox and ERTL/ ESCI/AMT kits. Even though thaty hav brought the big kits back in piece meal (Tu-22, Tu-26, Victor) we're still being subjected to the 'heh heh heh, make them wait for it!' attitude of common sense things like the Valkyrie! I've been watch ebay and seen XB-70's and KC-135's go for as high as $100+ bucks. This is outright insanity, the molds STILL EXIST! They can be repopped if the owners decide to do it, we just have to wait until they get around to it. Of course, the dollar signs are what drive when they decide to repop the kits...
It's all so damned frustrating!
We want the kits, they have the molds. JUST MAKE THEM! Alright already!?!?!?!? The Atomic Annie Cannon, the KC-135's, all of those old kits that we spend big buck$ on on Ebay, just make the damned things!
Just my $.02 (US) ((For whatever an AMERICAN dollar is worth these days!!!)).
