The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 How can they justify flogging the Lysander for over a fiver when it was one of the Matchbox Purple range kits yet they're flogging the Swordfish and Heinkel He 70 (both former Matchbox Orange range kits) for four quid? I know the Lysander is a cracking little kit but a fiver? Still, it's certainly more competitive than the £15 those robbing buggers at Pavla are extorting. Now if only they'd rerelease the Mosquito, Gladiator and Tempest II/VI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 I couldn't believe the Lysander price myself Wooksta. A bit steep isn't it? I want Revell to reissue the HS125-600, T-2 Buckeye, Skyknight and the Privateer. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 To be honest, a fiver isn't that much considering the prices some of these will reach on ebay and how much is the Airfix one? Getting on for a fiver anyway. It's more the principle, given the release of the Orange range kits at the lower price. At least the decals will be pretty good.

Dave Fleming Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'll wait and see the final price - I've seen Revell future releases on Hannants website priced higher than the evantual price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
