I agree with you all but to me the old version and simplified kits are great kits still...just gives one the opportunity to use their skills/experience to make them as detailed as one wishes. I like both the newer issues and the older ones...just wish they would get back to the 3 in 1 concept again and/or include the original accessories some came with. Many kits over the years has had problems with lack of detail and very faint trim on the bodies,etc. It is nice to see the companies are thinking of the older kits again though....some body styles are timeless.
