Seems like a waste of time and money to me; I'd rather they put their efforts into new products instead of replica reprints. ::shrug::

Agreed. We already have a reprint of the box set, what I don't need is another version of the 30+ year old rules. Nostalgia for a plastic box is not enough for me to repurchase the rules again. Interest level for me is super low on this.

That being said I am SUPER interested in the new version and am eagerly awaiting some movement. I have my pennies saved up and cannot wait for the Kickstarter. I can't wait to see more!

I would buy reprints of Raid on Iran, Kung-fu 2000, and Necromancer in pocket box (or other) format.

I alreqdy have the Car Wars classic reprint box, so I'm not sure I would buy another set of Car Wars.

Given the current condition of some of my PBs: I wouldn't mind seeing replacements becoming available. Plastic tends to Get Old after 30-odd years....

If the PB were reprinted with chipboard counters, I'd be interested. I love the Pocket Box as a counters box, but the thin card counters tended to work their way out. Same issue with Illuminati.

Plus, the thin card is much harder to handle.

(Mirroring my thoughts posted on the RPGG/BGG thread on same topic.)
