  Hoping that they will make more buses and LRTs models if possible.

  i asked the HG route group manager the same qn @ the Eunos Int coffee evening. he said that the cost of getting a model designed, commissioned and mass produced is very very high and that SBST isn't willing to spend that amount of money. moreover, our bus fan base and hobby is not as widespread and prevalent as compared to other countries like HK and the UK.
  
  he said that the twin pack and the single model were specialy made to commemorate SBST's 30th anniversary and renaming from SBS to SBST. so highly unlikely that more models will come out.
  
  as for TIBS, Corgi announced that they were looking into mass producing the habit model (1:76) but seems that the plan has died down. [SBS also wanted to mass produce the AN68 model but the plan also dieded...]

  I bought mine (the twin Superbus models) soon after it was put on sale. Now sitting under my TV, much to the amazement by people who saw it.

  I have the twin model. This model ripped me off 30+ bucks because i bought it at the wrong place!
  
  I used to have the 25 VO but it's no longer with me anymore.
  
  Hong Kong still has the 25 VO

  If I'm not mistaken the Sv. 25 VO has been discontinued.
