I know J Hulk spread the word about a month ago on this kit’s release, but I finally saw it in my LHS today. It looks like a great kit, but I about had a heart attack when I saw the $42 US price tag on it. Didn’t quite have enough on me to cover that so, I’ll have to go back later for it. Academy isn’t usually that high in price around here.
My local shop had them on sale (Louisville, KY) for $30-35 or so.
Luckymodel has it for 25.99USD, 32.29 with shipping to Canada/USA.
Try Greatmodels or one of the onlines. That’s the thing about LHS’s, they go for full retail and then some. They will never survive with those tactics. They will eventually succumb. That’s why i go online or ebay anymore. I still buy my paints and other supplies, but rarely a kit.
