The main issue here would be cost. I have no idea what it costs to tool all the parts of something like the Delorean or the Tumbler, but i know moulding for a normal plastic kettle body is about £26,000(Just that one main body part), so i'd expect the tooling cost for the entire Delorean to be in the hundreds of thousands. Whatever company HT uses to make their parts(It might be a different company for each type of material, or it could be some huge one that does everything), they will foot the bill for the tooling and charge HT "Per Item" for the resultant parts, expecting the recoup their cost based on volume. HT have already repopped the Tumbler twice(Original, Black one, Camo one), and seem to be doing so again, so they will be well in profits with that one. I'm surprised they never dipped back into the BTTF franchise, but perhaps they are waiting for prices on originals to rise high enough that their inevitable price hike on the Delorean still seems cheap compared to Ebay prices. I've recently been testing the waters on selling my Delorean(Even before the new Marty was announced), and there has been interest but not huge interest, so perhaps HT will be waiting till interest is peaking to bring out a new version of the D.
The only reason i mention this is that it would be a HUUUGE expense to retool the Delorean for a single repop. They will only remake the original one(If at all), with the same tooling to save on work that has already been done. If they could replicate the mechanism that Fujimi used on their 1/24 Delorean for the hover conversion, that would be amazing.
