So, you're the one who sold me that Chunk-O-Plastic in a Tamiya box. Talk about marketing, put another boxart cover on an outdated kit, throw in some molten plastic things that are supposed to be an artillery crew and Bhammo! Increase your price and your profit margin with minimal effort. Better NEW than Renewed. The more new kits the better! It's better to choose from three new kits of the same subject rather than to deal with a repackaged, out of date, quasi-toy. Let the old kits die off in our memories, preferably fond ones, of a favorite kit, but let them die off, Do Not Resuscitate, Do Not Reissue, Do Not Repackage! Use today's tech to improve the hobby don't use the 70's tech to hinder it!
