That there would be a day when new, in the box Rommel's Rods would be plentiful on eBay for $17??? Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming.
I can't count how many times I've drooled over old crusty RR's and dreamt, and how excited I was to bash mine from several glue bombs, one of which had been burnt with a lighter, and paid good money to do so... the TJ Taxi, too.
As bad as the rest of it all may seem at times, this truly is a good time for modeling...

Don't forget the upcoming Circus "Dragon" Wagon too!!! Three of the most sought after TD kits, and all back in one year!!! I hope Revell follows suit with more TD reissues next year. Hmmmm, say a Horn toad, with both sets of wheels, and a Sand Crab, oh, maybe a reissue of the King Chopper!!! An another note, we can't forget the kick ass efforts of Tom & John @ Round 2, and all those great show rod reissues they are producing, along with the vintage kits they are bringing back too. This has been a model builders year fer sure!!!

How about TD Honest Engine and Unreal Roller??? Even Rattler and Trantula would be good.

I have to agree with you there Brandon. I have tried for ages to get RR and Red Baron now they are here to buy. Like RatRod mentioned as well Round 2s effort with more to come as well good times. I hope 2010 is better.

I for one hope to see all of them reissued eventually.. I missed them while taking a modeling hiatus during the time they originally issued ...

I feel that I have been blessed to have been around during the first golden age of modeling, and still here for the dawning of another golden age! All the great repops coming out, I love it, and I hope 2010 and beyond, they just keep coming- open up the vaults, let 'em pour out! I don't care if I have the originals or not, like Chuck says, reissue everything!

I knew it would come to this one day. Sad thing is everyone on the bay is still buying the high dollar originals. Must be hard core collectors. I am going to be happy with getting them now again.
