Hi Guys,
First of all my sincere apologies for the mix up in the price of the new Panther… It was simple human error—no more, no less and certainly no conspiracy!
I wish K&C could design and manufacture a large tank like the Panther and sell it at US$139… Alas these days it’s just not possible. As many of you know the high cost of raw materials and the continuing (and well deserved) rise in the cost of labour in China plus collectors justifiably wanting more detail… better quality… more variety all contributes to a more expensive product. Not just for K&C but virtually every other manufacturer in China.
On the plus side… “It had better be a good one! Well my friend it’s a great one!!!”
Of course that’s just my honest opinion.
Best wishes, apologies and happy collecting!
Andy C.
P.S. Many thanks to George of Minutemen, a great K&C dealer as many of you already know, who rode to the rescue.
