I believe some of the Aurora molds were destroyed.
Keep in mind what would happen to the ejector pins and what would happen to the molds left exposed in a wreck for some time.
As part of the lore of the great Aurora train wreck I also had heard that some molds were simply junked by Monogram upon receipt or purchase.
These were kits that either duplicated products already offered by Monogram or were poor sellers or poor quality.
I really would like to see a repop of the SeaLab - I think that there would be a much larger audience than just Studio Scale modelers.
Consider that Moebius has repoped a number of obscure kits in recent years, such as the Voyager from a 40+ year old single season cartoon.
The Sealab would also be a nice addition to the sub kits Moebius has produced - Seaview (Movie and TV) and the Skipjack.
The challenge, as has been stated in the past, is the need to match both sides of the SeaLab kit, including ejector pin locations, if it is to be of value to both the general modeller and Studio Scale modeler.
