So, I just looked at Moebius's website and the page showing Rommel's Rod has mysteriously disappeared, has moebius dropped the idea for a repop? That will suck if thats the case:(

It seems Revell is going to reissue the kit, instead. There's talk of releasing more than just Rommel's Rod.

Maybe you should ask Mrs. Rommel that question. (rimshot)

I'll be here all week, folks. Try the veal parmigiana.

According to Megahobby, Revell is releasing a number of Tom Daniel kits.

Hey scotpens, you might want to bury that joke before the decomp set in.........:p

They sit on this for how many years? And then decide to put it out when Moebius brings attention to it? Bummer for Moebius, but at least it will come out.

wow thats really crappy, have moebius generate interest then turn around and say "sorry, we still own it, so we are gonna release it now". Buncha Jackals!

That's business.

I wish it was as simple as all of that. Tom Daniel is in the process of writing something for our website, we'll post as soon as received. Tom owns Rommel's Rod, not Monogram or Revell. I'ts a long story that isn't really my place to tell. The Moebius site and the Tom Daniel site will have the reasoning in this posted at some point, not much I can say other than we are very disappointed in not being able to provide this after all the work we put into it. I'll be glad to buy a few myself if it does appear!

'tis a pity. I'd buy a few from Monogram too if they pull the trigger on it, but I was REALLY looking forward to what might've been with a Moebius/Tom Daniel team up. This doesn't rule out anything further with TM does it? I recall some interesting drawings of his that was posted a while back.

We're still talking with TD about some stuff, but nothing for production yet!

It'd be fantastic if he designed some more themed showcars!!!!
