I was planning on bidding on the Barracuda, and it totally slipped my mind. Yes, EZ prices have seemed to dip over the last few years. 6/8 yrs ago, they were sky high. Most people today don't appreciate what these models are, and what they did over the yrs to improve our hobby. I think I love them more now. Too bad OK model closed the EZ line a while back. Better get them now if you see one you want boys!
