Interestingly, Keith almost left 1/64 scale some time
back because the car guys were not buying.
I don't know the details of what has or has not been
selling, and since that is Keith's business I don't
expect him to necessarily offer details. It seems to
me that both Alley sets, the original gas station and
the Toxic Terminal where all at one time sold out. It
could be that the demand for these models was pretty
well saturated at that point, and the second run
(assuming there was such a thing and not just
packaging up already made parts) was not really called
for. The motel, hot-rod shop and Cafe are still sold
out and never re-run IIRC.
More recent kits include:
Fire station
Boiler House/Machine shop (two very similar
structures)
Donut Drive In
new Gas station
Harold's drive in.
While the larger number of these new kits are, in
fact, more car-oriented I'd think more of us could
find space for at least one, and they are neat
structures!
