One of the problems I've read about lately regarding reissues is the licensing of trademarked names, logos, etc.
It seems that some folks want premium return on their TM products and ask a kings ransom for permission. Greed kills...dreams.
I use CA on 90% of my resin build adhesive needs, but like Noel stated, it doesn't have the shear strength necessary in some applications.
In those cases I use two part epoxy and that combination has never failed me, and I'm kinda clumsy. ?
In my down time I research possible future builds and I've been wanting to design my own 60's style show rod. While doing research on it I came across this list of show car kits.
Browsing through it brought back memories, as well as showing me a few I never knew existed.
I've searched the site and didn't find it posted before but perhaps it was. In any case, I think it deserves a second look if you've seen it already.

Hang in there Les. At least you got to blow off some steam.
My daughter discovered that her sound card needed to be replaced and I had to bring her down from the ceiling. I showed her how to do it and now she'll have a go at it.
You have a desktop or laptop?
I have a couple of years old HP laptop with the AMD Ryzen 5 processor that I updated to Win11 last year with no issues, so I don't think its a chip issue.
Is yours a desktop or laptop?
I use both, but CA is my go-to. I use epoxy for parts that need a really strong adhesion. I used it to put the two sections of my Karmann-Ghia body together, and I'll use it for a chassis sometimes.
When using CA, I almost exclusively use the gel.
Small hoorays on my Ghia.
Finally got the VW kit engine surround and accompanying rear seat to fit.
I had to cut out the sides of the engine compartment for the wider Ghia but still need to fill the leftover holes.
I also got the wheels to fit between the body. I was intent on using the kit wheel mounts with the wheels I printed, so out came the grinder. After a lot of refitting I got them to work so that the wheels would turn without interference.
The convertible boot is from the Revell Z8 kit, cut in half and narrowed.
