Something Stupid This Way Comes

Internet hobbies, Great Models, and Hobby Lobby all have the Revell US kit for $49.99. I think the inport taxes and labor costs reflect the prices for the German kits. I did buy the German kit of ebay for around $40, and after inspecting how bad the molding and quality of plastic was, turn around and sold it again for about the same price I paid for it. I do wonder how someone will want to pay $50 more for the same kit abite different box art and a softer grade of plastic.

Ouch! The first time I bought that kit its retail price was $15.00 - which made it just about the most expensive plastic model kit on the market. I feel old.
