That's hefty and no mistaking!!

I'm not surprised, and don't forget it's a UK price so you can subtract about 20% off that for you Yanks - we always pay over the odds as someone, somewhere seems to feel that shipping stuff to this little Island is about as costly as shipping stuff to the moon. And with the current customs fees on EVERYTHING that's probably not as much of a joke as I intended it to be.

But yes.....Ouch indeed.

Still going to get one though.......

Will definitely need to think a bit more about this purchase. Want to see completed pics of all (painted too).

Yeesh. Maybe they can space them out a bit to make this set more afforable....

Ok no more dark of the moon crap for me, I have to start saving now. :sad:

fits with the estimates. somewhat disappointing, because in an ideal world they'd already have delivered all 6 to my house for free, but y'know, realistically, looking at the previews I can see how it's worth that.

sadly, being worth it, doesn't necessarily mean I can afford it.

if numbers could rip my balls off and feed them to me. i just read them.

Well............ gonna definitely pass on that. As much as I want it, $500 is WAY too much.

I would be very surprised if they're not cheaper on TFSource, BBTS, RobotKingdom and so on (basically any online store not based in the UK). It'll still be one hell of an investment, just not quite so bad.

Hmmmm...so this is going to come down to pre-order this for $500 and hope that the QC is good and the joints work well. Or, wait for the reviews and miss the boat on purchasing it.

Ouch. Just like everyone says: OUCH. They'd better be PERFECT.

You raise a valid concern. I'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot by admitting this, but I plan on getting hold of these asap just so I have them. I'll check out some of the reviews before cracking them open (although I'd expect a few reviews to be up before I even receive them). If the reviews are bad or they simply don't vibe with me, then ebay beckons. I'm sure someone will want them.
