I sent an e-mail to Revell's customer service department from a link that I got off of TD's. web site .I gave them a list of the top five TD kits that I would like for them to rerealease.
1. Sand Crab
2. Baja Bandito
3. T'rantula
4. Bad Medicine
5. Pie wagon
I requested all be reissued with original boxart like 4 of the 5 classic TD's that they did in 09.
About a week later the reply : Were sorry to inform you that none of the kits you have requested are in our plans for rerelease at this time. There may be a couple of Mr. Daniel's kits before the end of the year but none of the ones that you requested.
Bummer! I wonder which ones they may be considdering?
Any one have any intell?
What would you guys like to see?

The Pie wagon ,Trantula and the Bad medicine should be no problem to reissue as they have repopped them already . The Bandito was slightly modified, and the Sand crab was made nto the lil van so they may be harder to do as there may be a need for new moulds .
I'd like to see the TD 1/32 drag cars come back ,as well as some of the "crazy" kits ,like the Flap Jack .

Glad to see others making suggestions to Revell too. I send them all the time, and usually get a response the same day!!! My recent e-mail was great praise to them for doing 5 great TD kits this past year. I suggested more TD kits too....Sand Crab, Unreal Roller, Horn Toad, and some big scale kits like the King Chopper, Top Chop, Mean Maverick, and Supper Digger. I loved the reissued Big Tub, so why not a Big Drag, & Big Rod. OH, and we cant forget those wonderful Corvair powered C-Cabs!!! Get on their site, and send them your feedback!!!

I asked them too for some new releases the last time I wrote to thank them for what they gave us last year. Got a response the same day.
At least now we know they are listening to US.

WOW, the Rattler seems to be a popular kit ! I still have mine from back in the day, I never cared for it too much but its a survivor. Is it on the want list because or its scarceness or its looks ? Personally I think the Horn Toad looked a lot better

I remember selling the unbuilt Rattler I had on ePay back when it was not so popular, I'll bet someone here ended up with it, I think it went for round $30.00 at the time. |

I think the availability effects the popularity of allot of kits regardless of how cool they are.
Some people go after the rare unpopulated kits just for that reason even if they are ugly not that either one of them are ugly..
I had both about a month ago and chose to keep my Toad over the Rattler.
But the Rattler will bring allot more cash than the toad. IMO

Isn't the recent Revell release of the 1930 Ford Model A touring street rod a modified Red Chariot? Yeah, sure is! I used that combined with the stock 30 coupe to build a stock touring not long ago. Monogram did that with all their old 60s issues rod/stockers, tossing optional parts to make different versions. Maybe the question is, what custom/rod parts from the Red Chariot issue are missing in later issues? That way you could swap around and look for used parts instead of buying a whole kit. The only thing that would be problem would be decals, I expect. |

Funny you should bring this up...I asked them the same question about TD kits after going to his site as well. And all I got was..........It's not in our future plans but your email will be passed onto our development section???
Would love the Sand Toad, Poison Pinto & Rat Vega
