I honestly have more Xmods then I'll even use. It's fun to make them over-powered and fast. They also look pretty with all the aluminum bits you can buy.
But once you've already put together a over-powered, blinged out Xmod, there's kind of no need to build another one.
I'm more into mini RC cars that handle well, such as the Mini-Z.
I've raced Mini-Z for a number of years and have even made attempts to put together a "race worthy" Xmod capable of keeping up with the Mini-Z.
In the end the Mini-Z performs, and looks much better than the Xmod ever could.
Even if Radio Shack totally redesigned the Xmod and came out with a better 2.4ghz electronics package, and better chassis, I would only even
consider buying one if it were on clearance for less than $20.

I still enjoy mini and micro RC (as well as larger scale RC) but as far as Xmods are concerned, I'd much rather waste my money on my hobby grade RCs.

That being said, I still think the Xmod was great for getting new people into the RC hobby, and I wouldn't complain if the Xmod did return.
But unfortunately I don't care enough about them to try and bring them back.
