Where’s the MPC “Pro Street” ‘81 Camaro Z28 reissue?

Was the tooling found not usable?

I did recently get a set of acceptable test shots and I even did a test build to confirm we have the Pro-Street version.  However, it was still decided to move the tooling to another location.  When and where, I don't have the answer yet, so consider its status as planned but on hold.  I'm hoping it will still be a 2024 item, but the clock is ticking.

I wonder why they decided to move the tooling to another location?  Is that location here in the United Sates instead of China?  Or, is it a different location in mainland China? 
 

If it’s been put on hold, that probably means 2025 at the earliest which is a shame because except for the AMT ‘70.5 Camaro Z28 and the now discontinued custom “Cheverra”, there is really no scale representation of a stock late ‘70’s early ‘80’s Camaro Z28 in the Round2 portfolio.  Revell has reissued their Z28, but that one leaves a lot to be desired with its incorrectly rendered round Firebird Trans Am style wheel wells.
