Just got my AFV M548A1 and M730A1 and there is no difference that I can see from the older ones. Why all this hoopla about new kits, new kits. To me big disappointment.

The original kits were going anywhere from $80 to $100 on Ebay so at least they can be had for a reasonable price now.

I don't believe there was a lot of "hoopla", and it was stated when announced, that they were just re-releasing them. There was no mention of upgrades or additions. The best part, was they were available again, as both kits were very hard to find and/or very expensive.

Right, they are only re-leases because they were discontinued before, and no new things added or improvements made.

I suffered my first case of "modeller's remorse" with this release; bought an original issue one for $80 USD not two months before to be a diamond in an M-113 series collection.
