Thanks for the link, the cross-section it offers to model kit history is very interesting, especially all those Cold-War-era box arts with their subtle political cues. :-)

I kinda thought the same thing.  Most of the kits I searched for can still be had at auction at much lower prices.

However, for the collector, they seem to have some real gems.

I beg to differ, DURR. I'm looking around, and the prices are quite nice for the complete-mostly complete kits with not-to-good boxes. I'm finding al sorts of really nice stuff for really nice prices. Looks like I'll be doing some business here.
