Mootch...

Those theme cars would be cool. I don't think RS would have a problem spending the cash to get the licensing rights. They have done it in the past with the Fast and Furious cars, the Torino, Thornberries, Cat in the Hat, Hulk, Spiderman, Bigfoot, etc. They also have to get all the rights from the car manufacturers...GM, Ford, etc.

I want to add to your list...

Speed Racer Mach 5
Racer X Shooting Star
Other Speed Racer character cars like Snake Oiler's car, etc.

A VW micro bus would be cool. I beleive RS did have plans to put out a VW Beetle for the regular ZZ's some time ago, but it was scrapped for some reason. I think the original German imports kit with the red and black Porsches was actually supposed to be a Porsche and a VW Beetle. They probably had trouble getting licensing rights. I'll bet Namuna or Weeds has a photo of it someplace.

I think it is obvious from the suggestions in this thread that there is a good following of "older" ZZ hobbyists here. It would be nice if RS catered to that fact and took some of these suggestions to heart. They would definitely be getting more of my money if they did.
