I know I must have blacked out momentarily after my head hit the floor from falling out of my chair when reading THAT! I was all set to handle a few of them but not at that price. The material used doesn't warrant THAT much of a price increase so all I can think of is that they figured if we will pay Tamiya prices, why not demand that for theirs? LOL Not quite the same.

So it looks like I can let go of that pipe dream for awhile... spend it on something else. Thanks for the warning.
