Hey guys, just want to spread the good news. There are rumors in the Tamiya community that the 1:10 Tamiya Schnitzer will be re-released soon!

From tamiyaclub.com...

I heared from a good source about it, its still not 100% official but chances look very good.
Model number is 58323 (the questioned gap of the Nuernberg fair ), chassis is TT01, lets see if anyone can guess it, will post the solution later tonight or early tommorow.

...

Now, which lexan body has a maximum desirability and is a re-release like I wrote? If we want to use an objective measure, we have to use Ebay prices and if I remember well only the 959 and M3 body fetch over $200. 959 has high production costs, due to the unique 3 piece blow modling and wouldn't be good for the newbie racer, as it "cracks already on the shelf" , which leaves the IMHO very beautiful M3 body.

Good. Mine is looking a little ragged. :p

Tight.. just went and read the entire thread

I'll have to get one... as a reward for not bowing into the pressure of buying any minichamp models! Let's hope the rumor is true.

I think I would buy multiples... at least one to drive with, two for static displays, and a couple for "just in case".

I have been wanting this thing for SO LONG! But the $500 price keeps me away!

If they do re-release it, I'm all over it! I might just get like 10, so when they are LONG gone, I'll still have some nice ones!!

lets just hope the quality will be just as good or even better

the smell is thick enough to cut with a knife!

arent' production bodies only like $40? I would pick up 2 or 3 for that price, my nakid team associated body would look killer with one of those

tamiya bodies run 100-110 and are for narrow width 1/10th scale cars meaning electirics ill prob pick one up to have once there rereleased since there nice as hell, the owner of the local r/c shop collects tamiya's and has around 20 e30 m3's hes sick, also he has an unopened one in a box

borgfeldt is about 3 blocks from where I work. Lemme see what I can do. I may be able to order some in bulk through my consulting biz.

I spoke with Borgfeldt this morning; here is the scoop.

• They will not sell wholesale to anyone without a retail shop as Tamiya requires this.
• They are going to try to set me up with the largest retailer in Canada for group buy.
• The model is announced but not yet in production.
• Delivery will be in the end of May.
• Retailers have already started to place their orders, so if we want to do a group buy, now is the time to get our order in.
• Tamiya will only be selling the kit as a whole and not just the body; with re-release items they do things this way.

So far, that's the skinny.
