| Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! I was looking around at some sites and found that Diecast Direct has an Admiral 1/72, Russian Su85 listed for pre-order for $44.95!!!! What!!! Let's all hope this is a misprint. I just got a Dragon Tiger I, 1/35, on sale for $42.00. Say it ain't so, Admiral!!! Anyone know anything about upcoming prices? I knew that Admiral was going to have a price increase, but, I'm thinking $4.00-$6.00 per item. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! Must be a misprint, prices (RRP) like that would be unrealistic from Admiral ... ![]() | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! I did a little more research. The price is correct. It will be a "limited" run of ca. 600. I'm sure everyone knows that Admiral has changed their production method to much less metal to mainly plastic. It will be interesting to see if these sell. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! At that price I'll wait for one from HobbyMaster in 1/48 or Corgi in 1/50 - there is no way I'll pay that amount for a mainly plastic 1/72 tank, no matter how 'limited' it is | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a big discussion about this a couple weeks back. So far the only feedback I've seen is that people said they won't pay that much so it will be interesting to see what happens. It's a bit disappointing to me as their range looks so promising but they've priced themselves outside of what I'm willing to spend for an all plastic tank. When they said they were going to be more, I was thinking $25-$30! I emailed Admiral Toys about this a couple weeks back asking if these prices were correct and got a response "yes and no". They said they would announce more later on, hopefully the "no" part of their response means they will release alternate paint schemes on these items which won't be so limited and the price is lower. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! Diecast Direct e-mailed me saying that the $44.95 pre-order price is correct. Also, I got this reply from Jason at Admiral Toys: Dear Philip, Thank you for your concern regarding our pricing. I too have posted several post regarding the price points on the Model hanger and Small Scale regarding the numbers released. Each tank is individual hand casted and hand made. The quantities per release will range from 200 units to a max of 600 units per release, world wide distribution. In our opinion this is very limited. Regards, Jason | |||||||||||||

| Re: Russian Su85 1/72 pre-order $44.95!!!!!!!!!!!! I simply can't justify putting that kind of money on a small scale tank! Guess I'll be watching Admiral's new releases from the sidelines...too bad. easy8 | |||||||||||||
