Vanguards Gold



In 1998, Lledo launched the short lived 'Vanguards Gold' series, which were essentially re-branded Kyosho 'Museum Collection' models produced in China and distributed by Vanguards. The 'Gold' series featured different models and castings than the mainstream Vanguards models at the time. Vanguards Gold models were packaged in acrylic casings, with each model being produced to a limited production of 3,000 models. Just a year after, Vanguards parent company, Lledo PLC went bankrupt leaving Kyosho to find another distributor, concluding the Vanguards Gold series.
