MichaelRound 2 officially unveiled this kit this month and said it was an entirely new tool. Their marketing manager said the original tool was lost or damaged. The kit parts are very similar to the original, but have been upgraded somewhat to modern standards. At least the box art is also new this time.

MichaelAccording to the Round2/MPC website this is an entirely new tool:

Round2 has adopted the habit of creating brand new and improved tools of worn out old tools. Unfortunately (IMO) they also like to put the original box art on the new release making it very confusing to differentiate the old and new tools.

Bob HallNa, Round 2 has a knack for changing it up just enough to notice it a new issue, plus old kits don't have the UPC codes and parts list on the box.
