Default Bird of Time Shock


Some un-lucky winner is in for some heart break when they open that brown box and find a box full of sticks and blocks instead of a big yellow glider.

Check out the price for this $69.99 kit also. It's at $80.99 + $14 shipping and still has 2 days to go.

I guess I don't see the problem. It is listed as a kit in the title. There is 'kit' underlined in the description.

However, you will probably be right that whomever pays $80 or more for a kit that's selling for $70 probably doesn't read very well either.

As often as ARFs are refered to as "kits", not to mention people "building" ArF's, no wonder there would be confusion. Words have meaning. It can be tough with the changing times in regards to the meaning of words.

This is almost like buying a barrel of beer onE-bay - andyou receivea big box with the woodennaves and metal bands, a stopper and some bags of hops, yeast and barley - you have to put the keg together and brew the beer yourself - and you are thirsty.....

Cheers
