Most Unexpected Releases of All Time?

So what are the most unexpected releases of all time? The models that nobody expected, nor necessarily knew they wanted.

Such as:

- Code 3's Diamond Plate Pierce Skywalker pumper
- Code 3's Chicago Squad Set
- Corgi's Mack Aerialscope tooling, when it first appeared after eons of ALF repaints
- Yat-Ming's classic GMC chemical wagon.

What are some others?

The corgi AEC fire engine in the Chipperfields Circus livery.
That was the funniest.

Then the most annoying, after I spent time and money kitbashing, the corgi Mack B tiller.

Most surprising was the SPS set

Re: Most Unexpected Releases of All Time?

i personally think the chicago squads should be off that list. i know alot of people expected them sooner or later. and i like em. now skywalker diamond plate? what the hell did that come out for? i bought one and that is cause my loser brother loves star wars

Re: Most Unexpected Releases of All Time?

Unexpected and bewildering. The Chicago Cubs Luverne. Hey, no one said it had to be a pleasant surprise!

Re: Most Unexpected Releases of All Time?

To me, I would say the Corgi Rochester, NY ALF. It wasn't even close to anything we had, especially with that blue gum-ball on the roof. They can be had for 1/3 the original price, & I still won't buy one.
