To be honest, these are never ever old kits, so it must be a re release for sure! They have done so on the 935 Jägermeister and Vaillant version too, in the first run it was sold out quickly, then or better now, some more for sale. It could be possible that the national importeur/distributer (don`t know if this is right in english) had some left over and they bought it, but these are also none old kits. Another way they get their hands on it might be they bought it straight from a japan dealer which had some left over.
Seen the Leyton House also on spotmodel, started with over 5 left in stock, so who think`s this is not a re release when the kit was sold out for decades!?!?
Buy one if you want it, finaly it doesn`t matter where they come from.
Take a stand!

Stock arriving!Stock arriving!
Estimated shipping date: September 22, 2020
Other 26 customers have it in their cart.

That is the Spotmodel offer. So it's pretty obvious it rereleased and will be sold pretty quick.

No, that means they sold all the ones they had in stock. Yesterday there were 2 left. Looks like they can get more.

Correct, seen those 2 yesterday as well and if they have it on pre order again, pretty sure it is a new release and none old.

I bought mine from spot model months ago. Its NOT a re release. Its old stock, but in good condition. The decal is useless, if u look at the picture on their website decal looks old, and thats what u gonna get. Not a big deal, since you can still easily get an aftermarket one.
But as mentioned, its good condition and spot model probably checks the contents before shipping. Price is ok too, so if i were u, i'd get one.
