Re release are, as you say a second chance at childhood, I think though that the majority of vintage collectors/restorers want original, I guess it depends on budget too.
Some vintage stuff has obviously not, as yet been or going to be re released, rc10 gold pans, Schumacher cats etc, so I think the re release kits are just Tamiya. Personally, I think it's a better acheivement to restore an original, but each to there own ;-)
