I'm sure of that but, have you priced getting one of the old moldy ones. If you have wanted to do this I am sure the price will no longer be prohibative

I like the re-releases just for nostalgia reasons. I got the Abe Lincoln Polaris with the cut-off section, as a re-release for 10-12 USD. Going prices in Ebay were 5-10 times as much for the old moldy molds And do not even try to get the old Saturn V in Ebay... now we have 3 different re-releases.

I do agree with Ray that Revell should be a tad more upfront and package this releases in their "Classic" boxes instead of simply labelling them "non-scale".

cheers
