Re: Another Betty Bomber Is Finally On The Way!

Correct it is highly sought. But that is just because it's no longer available. The Maurshin line in a good sort of way, is sort of crude. I would not hesitate to spend $500 for a well done highly detail die-cast plane. A Marushin Betty just doesn't fit that mold.
Just my opinion.

RJ,
What may be "crude" to one may be "collectible" to another.. Starman352nd showed me WWI biplanes on Ebay the other night and they were selling for $150 each!! Which was pretty outlandish to me considering I would judge them as crude toys, but obviously someone else (19 bidders) thought differently..
I think Marushins are well worth the money..
