Bonehammer Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yeah, makes you wonder why they bothered with reissuing it. People managed to pull masterpieces out of this one when it was the only game in town, but we're spoilt for choice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 It's shame. I'm sure they have the funds to re-tool this. As it is, it probably won't sell well, so they'll think there's not a great demand. So their marketing people will think a new tool is foolish. Kind of a self-perpetuating error. The propellor is falling off in the photos of the (otherwise nicely) built model too Best regardsTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
