I'm not sure I would read too much into the limited status of this re release and I say that for a couple of reasons.
It's a 58xxx serial number and please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Tamiya releases true limited runs on this serial number, more usually 49xxx.
I understand many of the re releases are initially listed as limited and I'm sure the Hornet is a case that supports this point.
Do we think Tamiya has gone to the expense of retooling for this release to only produce a limited run? As a business are they going to stop producing something as long as there is a profitable demand?
The only thing that makes me think this maybe a limited release is the thought that the Buggy Champ could be the initial "limited" SRB release closely followed by an unlimited Sand Scorcher a bit like the first run chromed chassis Brat.
