For anyone who is interested you can preorder it now from Aifix
http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/catalog/product/view/id/8412/category/80/
Its up at £139.99 which puts it at about $200 and due on 9/10/2015
I have the older kit and it didn't cost anywhere near that. If you want a big kit then go for it but I have to say personally I cant say its worth that much, unless they have improved it a lot but we'll have to wait and see on that score.
