Ok, 12,99 sounds much better.
Maybe the Spitfire guy just made a typo, 1299 instead of 12.99

Crazy alright. I saw that and didn't consider it a typo. Make to most sense though.

Re: $1300 1:72 Spitfire

It's for real. These things retailed for just under $1000 direct from the hound, if I recall correctly. I think they're gold plated, for what it's worth. They ain't solid gold.
