Question Would you buy a Cat XLS re-release?

I have mentioned this to Robin Schumacher a few times, I think as per tamiya's business model (old kits re-released such as hornet, lunchbox, hotshot etc etc) that the old schumacher cars would sell again - of course Schumacher aren't anywhere near the scale of operation which Tamiya are, and they may or may not still have the moulds however I want one and would be 1st in the queue to buy a re-released Cat XLS kit!

I wonder if the cost of remanufacturing them would outweigh the profits received from selling the kits?

I think the original Cat XLS would be great for a single marque/model class and maybe even the bosscat/topcat/procat/cougars could be remade.....I'd primarily be after a Cat XLS with silver wheels though painted as per box, black/yellow & red!

Thoughts?

Dan

I've got a mint never run Pro-CAT that sits on my shelf looking pretty that I paid a small fortune for. I also have a heavily modified Pro-CAT that I one day want to run. So I would stand to lose out financially as these would be worth a hell of a lot less than they currently are if they did a re-release of the XLS. But I'd still love to see it, and I would probably buy one too.
