It is likely going to happen this time. They said at the talk on Saturday that this project is going to suck up all their tooling budget essentially for the next year. Plus, this project is one of the reasons why they decided to drop the JJ Prise (although other factors led to the JJPrise's demise). Externally, another factor is Revell of Germany getting the Trek license for Europe as they are doing 1/600 kits of the E and a D-7 by this fall (which means Revell USA would have access to two new toolings if they ever managed to get the license). As such, Round 2 is having to put the fat to the fire big time this time and they know that.
The way I see it, this is going to either make or break them. It is a very bold financial gamble.
