The most expensive kit is this one (#14 above), a very rare kit with metal barrles for $32) :
With this purchase, my record purchase "141 kits in 6 months" of first half of this
year - which I thought would be really hard to break - has now been broken already!
In less than 5 months of the second half, around 158 kits has been bought so far.
The Shock Sales lasts 3 days, tomorrow I might go again... I just need more cash...
