100% agree with you Glenn. Unfortunately, that's not how meetings go in Japan. It would be more along the lines of the senior (60-year-old + man) manager decided to reissue the Fire Dragon as he probably likes it more personally and when he put this idea to the team, everyone in the meeting will have just agreed that it was a good idea. The junior staff wouldn't respond saying "what about the Thunder Dragon, we haven't released that at all". That would be seen as disrespectful questioning the senior person. That's just how things are in Japan.

I have also worked for two Japanese companies over 15 yrs. They do not think of the customer. They also do not fully understand the long term gains of marketing. They are simply volume led, this is because the core of the business is a factory producing stuff. All I ever got asked in Japanese boardrooms was, 'how many can you sell?' That is why they don't do off-road TRF. No volume. They miss the point on branding and upselling to more expensive kits and keeping customers who want to move away from 540's and bushings.

Hey Glenn, totally agree that really it's about time that Tamiya to re-release the Thunder Dragon. Lately they have been releasing lots of "Dragon" series cars - the"new" Super Dragon with Hornet chassis? Vanquish VQS is also coming along very soon. One thing though I suspect that the Fire Dragon may play a significant role "within" Tamiya (pure speculation) , if any of you have bought the Tamiya Vintage RC Car Museum book released last year - about first 100 RC, the Fire Dragon actually constitute a whole page centrefold on the second page right after the Grasshopper pic? Also may be in Japan at the time it has a significant role because of the anime? No? hummmm...

However I'm pretty sure they realise that the thunder dragon definitely does has financial gain in it which they probably will capitalize on at any time. That's my logic dont if I'm making any sense?

I know you don't understand it but are you going to get it? I want them to release a falcon and a bear hawk actually as you know I've always said I want them to re-release all their kids they've ever made re-release all of them even in their original form.

Let's be honest all of the rere stuff flies out the door all the guys that had to save pocket money and paper round money up just to buy a kit in the 80's has the money and the motivation at the moment to spend on tamiya even the the second hand market has gone through the roof so I think they could rere any of the first 100 and they would sell

Same old, Same old! 🤷🏼♂️ Tamiya needs a new (Better) 1/10 4x4 off-road chassis, something that spells Modern. Lipo ready chassis, Slipper Clutch, decent Tires & not all plastic. You know, like your competitors. Unless they can survive, with Rerelease models & the TT01-02 chassis series.

When working with Japanese companies you learn quickly that Japanese business culture is very rigid. It happens in all industries. They have very long product roadmaps and decisions are made by senior management - who are generally the longest tenured people working for the company. As a younger marketing or project management folk you have very little input.
