Round2 is always adding kits, so that's just part of the 2Q offerings. As for Revell being sold doesn't help anything, but also having all of your kits at least a month behind their original release dates doesn't either. Chances are the 2Q offerings are marginalized to help catch up as well. Remember when there was no 4Q at all in 2016 because they got all backed up on releases.

BVC500 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Anyone has intel on Aoshima? They were on a roll with Lambo and Pagani kits, but since those kits, its been pretty quiet and they've only been releasing Japanese-centric stuff.

Well Nao left to go form Rocket Model, and their head 3D design guy left in the middle of the Pagani project. Combine that with the fact the "Probox" Toyota NCV160 is the first JDM new tool kit they've made since the Toyota 86/BRZ & Subaru Sambars - which was in 2012/2013, they were due for a pivot back to their home market a little bit. Plus they're making a small fortune reissuing all of these older kits with a few thousand Yen worth of upgrades to wheels, tires and decals. Shizuoka show in May should give a good indication of the path of travel this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
