Tamiya Buggy Champ (rough RIder) Re-Release

Great news about the return of the fantastic Tamiya Rough Rider!!! Im sure many of you collectors out there dont quite share my excitement as you may be thinking your classic tamiya collection will devalue. I think like anything though there will always be the purists that will seek out the true originals.

Where will it stop? How about a blazing Blazer or even a Sand Rover or Holiday buggy

Surely the Sand Scorcher and Super Champ will follow suit now?????

Tamiyas next reissue?

Having been a massive fan of Tamiya when I was a kid, I've been interested in the series of reissues of the last few years. The obvious one for me was the Hornet Reissue, as at the time I was getting into RC, this was the iconic car of the day. There are many collectors out there that are a little worried that they will reissue the Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider, but I think If they could, then they already would have.

Personally I would love to see a Wild One Reissue as this was my first car and although it handled like a dog and broke down a lot it would still make my day.

The Boomerang Reissue was a good move as this too was a classic of its day but I'd love to see a few more
