Tamiya Re-issues 1/10 R/C Nissan R91CP Group-C (Item 47531)
Capped at 30: reliably dated 2026-05-13 — old news, not next-episode material. Genuinely new re-issue announcement (launch_signals, high-confidence date within the last ~10 days relative to crawler sighting, revealed at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2026) matching Tamiya's well-established newsworthy pattern of heritage/platform re-releases. However it's an on-road race kit (Group-C), not scale/crawler focus, and re-issues of decades-old molds have modest story value compared to new licensed bodies or RTR
