Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha........
HA!
HA!
Randy Cooper's 42" kit is amazing. You can commission one of the many talented model makers here to build it. I believe the one on Rebelscum was $3,500 total with an incredibly detailed diorama base.
If you can afford this EFX non sense please do the above and donate the rest to a good cause.
This is absurd and this company should not be supported by anyone on this planet.
Seriously how are these clowns still in business? How many years since the Boba Fett helmet, Full 1/1 Stormy, Stormy Hero helmet, Biker Scout Legend. How many years?

$3,500 for below and then support some hungry kids in Africa if you have that much spare cash.

Sad thing is that there are people out there who pay that price, some not knowing there are alternatives...

To be honest, I have seen people where I used to live spend that much on a single dinner- some just have a different scale of living. If somebody like that wanted a big ISD he would get it without thinking twice.
One guy had a Sabretooth Tiger fossil in his office- (he runs a chain of expensive optical stores) -I imagine that decoration cost even more...

That would be a VERY good bet.
This model is a true studio scale model though - going with the Randy Cooper route you're getting an approximation of what the model looked like... Don't get me wrong the thing totally rocks (I have one)... but its not "really" a studio scale model in that its made and detailed with the same parts.
it depends on what floats your boat... but for $16,000 I think I could build my own from scratch - or close enough I'd be very happy with it... that's a lot of dough...

True as a one of - its crazy expensive... But the patterns are made - the Files created, the molds created. At this point is pumping out the parts, putting them together, paint, detailing and weathering. Surely a LOT of work... But not to the level of creating the original patterns, files and molds.
Well - at least I hope that is the case... I know they built one... and am assuming they kept the all that stuff.

Well, not *quite* that simple. They did want to "manufacture" these in China, but I never thought that was practical and I guess I must've been right because it never happened. Now they are going to be built by hand. So, certainly not a ready-made product, but not made completely from scratch, either. It's somewhere in between. I'm not surprised those on this board are skeptical. I don't think we're the target market. Few of us can afford it, and many here prefer to build for themselves.
