I'm glad they re-released the 993 GT2. It's another chance to get the model. And there have been 11 years in between releases, unlike other re-releases, for example in the F&F line, where it is only 1 or 2 years. And they made a differentiation between the old and new model, so the loose versions of the 2013 release will mostly keep their value. The 993 GT2 is one of my favorite castings, so I hope I will get one soon. I tried to get the 2-pack on the Smyth's toys website, but it was sold out already... The Cayman is awesome too!
Got it from the ST-website, too. But it seems they don't do an "online-restock". Wonder if we see these 2-packs in the normal stores. My impression is, that they get huge amounts of some sets... And very small amounts of other sets. And what's really annoying is, that they don't have Matchbox any more...
I like the recent trend of Mattel re releasing some classic and highly coveted - and thus highly overpriced - castings. It Could be one way to get a handle on the scalping craze. Yes the originals will still be valuable but perhaps come down to more reasonable prices the average collectors can afford. Thanks for sharing.
