Personally I'm quite grateful for that, I have one for all my ole 10's

Yeah, you're probably correct
and from the sound of it the PR person is sending back form letter responses
At least we have Pro-line and J Concepts on board

Got a response back...
Dear Mr. Jeff K,
At present, there aren't any plans for RPM parts for the "new" RC10 from Associated. However, that can change at any time. If we see a strong enough demand for currently available RPM RC10 parts, we may decide to rebuild some of those old molds and re-release them. Unfortunately, many of those older molds have been either recycled or destroyed, which means they would need to be remanufactured. We would need to see some strong sales with the few RC10 items we still have available to convince management to do such a thing. With a little luck, hopefully we'll have something available for you soon.
Take care and thank you for your interest and support of RPM products. If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to send us another e-mail.
hmm...

So basically we need to buy out all the rpm stuff they have to be able to get them to maker more... or maybe that's their devious plan to get us buying up all the stuff they want to discontinue...

Who knows, but I bet Traxxas sales would have to waver for them to make a major decision like that

I was wondering if he was hoping to start things up again too, even IF it's just bodies
- hence the reappearance of other painted bodies on the bay.
Something like a re-10 Andy's bodys and drivers would be killer just in and by itself

i'm pretty sure s&k was making andy's parts from the beginning. then when he wanted out, they just removed his name from the parts and then sold them under the s&k header card.. the molds probably never changed hands.
