MPC Rocket Reissues by Ertl

The MPC Vostok and Titan kits coming out later this year - 

Pre-orders are being accepted from a few vendors including:

From the descriptive copy on the website:
This is a PREORDER item and you are reserving this kit.  This is expected in stock in late 2013
Reissue of the MPC 1:100 scale model rocket.   Photo shows vintage box art and the packaging is likely to change.
The website is showing the old art, recommending the MPC C6-4 and C9-3 engines.
I have one of the Vostok kits upstairs. I'd build it except one of the plastic pieces is warped badly.
At least these are based on actual MPC kits, not just Chinese rockets with Star Wars stickers on them.

The upcoming Kiss rockets are the same parts and designs as the Star Trek kits with different graphics.
Other websites mention Sky based rockets including a series of Looney Tunes based models. 
Also listed are the MPC Vintage #1, #2 and #3. I hope these are based on the original MPC kits.
