They want what for it?

How about this...?

Most disturbing is that someone actually bought "it". 

Best expressed by Mel Brooks.

And on the other end of the spectrum, there are these gems-

1300 bucks for a Lego Xwing?

5 grand for a Lego Millenium Falcon?? (And the seller doesn't even offer free shipping )

I don't care if the *are* collector's editions.  You're supposed to build and play with the damn things.

I saw this and thought it was a touch steep

I think he'll find it's "true worth" is considerably less than what he is asking for it....

[Madoc]

Well, if what other's are asking for theirs is any guide, he's selling his on the cheap!

Junkers Ju 88G-6 `Berlin Radar` Hasegawa 1/72 Spot Plastic model Hasegawa Spot - $391.29USD

Junkers Ju 88G-6 `Berlin Radar` Hasegawa 1/72 Spot Plastic model Hasegawa Spot - $382.99USD

Our boy there in Portsmouth is only asking $248.83USD for his!  A bargain!

What ?

I know where I can get one for only ~$US31.00...

That's just crazy ! Do people actually fall for this crap without checking around ?

Always remember what Mr. Barnun once suggested was born every minute.

Unfortunately it would appear there are more than sufficient fools out there...

Please... I have trouble swallowing the idea of dropping $100 for an Otaki-tool 1/144 C-5. LOL

Actually you can't. they are sold out.

The cheaper option for the Berlin nosed Ju88-G6 is to buy one of these, then add this to the nose for the same end result and for far less cost.

It's not a bad kit really, and the only injection 1/144 C-5 around AFAIK. but $100?  Strewth.......

Anybody want to buy a bridge?

Anybody want to buy a bridge?   

If it wasn't for the price I could see a lot of those making their way into Zombie/post-apocalyptic scenarios. Looks gorgeous too .

Anybody want to buy a bridge?   

£344 for a decent sized scale bridge? Bit steep but worth it for a big diorama.... WHAT?! Plus 3 more payments of £250???
Who in their right flaming mind will pay £1100 for a kit? 

The numbers don't add up on the page. First they quote £334.80 then it's £344.79 with £9.99 UK postage charge. And then there's the extra payments of £750. And at the bottom they say the total cost would be £1356 but you get 20% off to make it £1084, but add up 334.80 and 3x750 and you get £1084.80 and then add on UK postage to make it £1094.79. 

It'd be cheaper to make it yourself out of plastic card and rods.
