Yeah wouldn't mind a set or two of the decals for my current build as these look top quality, but any way great looking kit maybe I'll get one if I come across some extra cash

Absolutely mind-blowing. I never hated myself more for not having 750$ to spare. Looks like it's worth every single cent.
Oh yeah! Totally! I'd buy two if I had money!
I'm not really getting the price complaints. The armatures were $250-300 before so thats $450-500 for the kit. The V3 was $350. Thats only $100-150 more for a more accurate kit. Also prices on supplys keep going up so that must be taken into account. Then take into account the pilot and droids and decals and the difference isn't so much anymore. Worth it from what we have seen in pics. Maybe they can sell armatures seperatly from the kits and let people buy them at different times to ease the pain but they look to be worth every penny and the price is not out of line at all.
AWESOME job guys!!!
AWESOME job guys!!!
I have to agree with zombiekiller, this kt is definately worth the price they are asking. The castings are beautiful, the extras like droids and decals are awesome, and of course a well thought out armature. You are not going to get a kit, this well designed and with these features, for what we have paid for SS X-Wings in the past. While the kit for some is out of their price range, including me, I applaud them for investing their time, energy and love into something this spectacular. Hopefully other runs of this kit will continue and maybe one day I'll be able to grab one.
Hey, how about layaway?

Hey, if they had Lay-By (Lay-away for you Yankees) I'd get one. I think I could afford $7.50 a week to get that.
Let's see....$750 divided by $7.50 equals......a bloody long time. Aw crap.

A three part law-away plan would make things much easier. What the hell! Doesn't hurt to ask right?

My concern would be this, introducing something new to the market place has limited shelf life even for major manufacturers e,g 'i-phones' from the first innovotive one, expensive, short supply to the market now being flooded with 'copies' (see where this is going yet?)
The same with this kit, agreed the time effort and level of detail do warrant the asking price yet it's in the producers own interest to offer as many options as possible (sans armature/lower price/lay-away payments) before someone copies/casts/provides a cheaper copy which regardless of how much frowning and growling is done over the issue of re-casting, will eventually happen and the producers then see their sales drop off even further because when pinch comes to punch 75% of folks will go for the cheaper copy, though wishing they could afford the real deal.

Personally I dont think copies will ever happen there will always be people in this hobby that want the best and are willing to pay for it I am one of them, there is a reason it costs so much becuase the time and materials put into it are equal to that value,
If someone where to make a copy which I doubt the quality will either be really bad which I doubt many people here would setlle on or it will cost around the same and I am sure I can speak on behalf of the people here that we dont like people who copy others hard work you can either afford a kit or not and you just admire the builds I for one cannot afford one as I have purchased a X recently but who knows I may get that job and I will order one or two even but for now I will admire,
If people where to settle for re casts then that would be ashame as less people will be motivated to bring us great kits like this as they will know that there work will just keep getting stolen, I hope this doesnt become the case with the quality of work I am seeing here.
Any way I think we should keep this thread on topic, once again wonderful kit!!

Damn that looks so nice. Too bad my wife would notice the money missing if I were to get this thing of beauty.
Very professional job and presentation. Good luck!

Stunning is not even the right word that describes this kit.
