FYI - It appears FreeTime is now taking pre-orders for this. Part #LIN70820 @ $299.99.

I must not forget to not pre-order this.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

We have a saying here in the South, "pig in a poke." And that's all I've got to say about that.

Or as my Grandma used to say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!" She was from West By God Virginia, also.

I'll believe it when I see it in stock and have read a couple of reviews. Then I will decide if I want to spend that much.

Lindberg is big on this "pre-order" thing...guess they feel they can sell more before their kits are actually seen by consumers...

I just think it's hilarious that a vendor lists it already WITH a price......I thought LH said "around" $400.....Freetime has a lot of confidence in LH to set a price this early.....oh well that's why their in the hobby shop business....lol

No wonder Lindberg saw a profit on the I-53's first production run. Its a shame Ford didn't think of this strategy 52 years ago...

Careful, guys----we don't want to come across as ungrateful...we should drop to our knees and just thank God that we have companies out there that indulge us with plastic kits...
