They were re-released in the late 90's.

AND - I saw around christmas time at the local hobby
store a NEW westy kit.  Well, actually it is the same
set of molds as the normal Blue-box that is common,
but it had a new red paint scheme, and some new
stickers, and new graffix on the box.  I shoulda
bought one, but..

It's a great kit.  If I could just get the paint on
the body to quit bubbling..............
