Ex-Aurora Sealab kit

Surprisingly it does not seem to be used on the ANH ISD ...

That is weird. Maybe on the 8 footer. A lot more real estate, ; )

It's also used on the Death Star Turbo Laser turrets.

Has anyone ever compiled a list of all the studio scale subjects this kit is used on. I know it's on the Galactica, the X Wing, the 5 foot Falcon. The Sand Crawler, and Escape Pod. I think the Y wing. I used to say it was used on everything, lol.

Yes to Y-Wing and also on the TIE Fighter (inside the cockpit on the ceiling).

Nice. Another reason to buy a few more,

Cool, didn't know about the Tie.

I have a ebay alert set up for "Sealab" and I woke up this morning to "6 new Sealabs!". Some of the new ones, but people are also dumping their originals now too.

How much was a Sealab kit going for before this re-pop? It's gotta sting a bit for the hardcore collectors who spent a pretty penny on theirs back in the day.

Between $400 and $550 USD. Depending on the box condition...because you know, we all care about the condition of the box. There's an original on eBay now for $450 USD. The box is nice but few of the parts are on their trees. Not that that matters either, as long as all the parts are there.

That’s because they ran out after using it on everything else.

Was absolutely used on the ANH ISD… in multiple places

Does anyone know how much stock they have? I'm worried it'll be hard to get again

When I was manufacturing model kits for my old company, the minimum run was 1000 units. So I'd have to guess at least that many.

If you're a studio scale model builder, BUY NOW. You won't want to have missed this one chance to actually have the pieces you need to build your replicas in styrene greeblies as opposed to resin. The studio scale model world is growing, but it's still quite small, and 1000 units will disappear quickly, I suspect, and by Christmas you'll see the $89 kits on sale for $180 -- this is pure speculation on my part, and I hope to be wrong, but I'm buying all mine asap.
