First choise would be the Aero Streak and then the Shadow, just to compliment their amazing "Scorpion" re-issue.
Personally, I don´t need more from that drawer.

My hope is that someone will remake the Javelin cage and the std. optima bumper.
That´ll be awesome :D

Javelin cage is another piece that could probably be repro'd well by 3D printing.

I vote for that silly amphibian thing that seems to fetch $5k on eBay, just cause I like to stir it up!

Did anyone else drool over the gold Option House parts back in the day? Lovely items. That motor guard was awesome!

I'm not a big Kyosho collector but I did talk to guy in their booth at RCX and he explained that they are forward thinking and not interested in re-releasing old cars.

and yes I know we have all heard that before :roll:

P.S. I might have to switch to vintage Kyosho :shock:

Icarus!

(Just kidding...)

Actually, I think the standard Mid with a full bearing set would do nicely. Looks good, runs great, still feels nice and retro.

My opinion is that it should be the Turbo Burns. The design elements in that car changed how 1/8 buggies were designed for ever. That platform is way ahead of its time.

Maybe they could re-release the Turbo Optima Mid Special or the Lazer ZX-S

That would really annoy the vintage collectors lol

Yes, how could you forget the TS :evil: :wink:
