Any idea why the price of the Panther has gone up?

I think that has just been asked earlier but, if you are asking why it has gone up compared to its older version then, I think that answers the question. Everything is going up quite regularly and, although everyone would want it to stay the same price its been about 3 years since the last one or, a little less so, every AFV has risen in price.

Why was it originally listed as $139.00?

Peiper et al....

My apologies as I had not seen the price increase for the new tank. I thought people were talking about compared to the old version. I am at a loss why it should have gone up especially by so much.

Right. That's what I was trying to say as well. Why was the new panther originally listed as going to cost $139 and now it's listed as costing $209? Anyone know?

 

[Mitch]

Surely something should have been put on the site or announced by K&C before doing this its gonna cause some concern.

No problem Mitch should have outlined my question better, the price was £139 on the website when the Panther was announced last week.

Peiper007...

I think it was that price when I looked earlier this week when I looked thats what caused my confusion

If you look at the arty piece, that has come down in price.
I've got a feeling that the prices for the Panther, artillery piece and the Raupenschlepperdeflippimo were possibly mixed up in the original announcement last month. How does that conspiricy theory sound?

Cheers but there was a thread saying how good it was and how cheap it was and nothing was highlighted by K & C.

I can hear the music from the Twighlight Zone a playing.

Obviously a mistake on the price listing....I thought it seemed a bit low at $139......But at $209....That's a big price difference..... It better be a good one.

 

[Warrior]

It was a pricing mistake is all, they put the wrong price on it and no one caught it till now.

No "hidden agenda", "no hidden message", no "it had better be a good one" for a reason.

A simple mistake.

 

[binder001]

Now the big question, what about those of us who pre-ordered and already sent a check?

 

[Vezzolf]

Well I guess only 2 options: Refund your money on the pre-order or pay the difference latter when it arrives....Whichever you prefer...The only fair thing to do as I see it....A bit annoying but what else can be done...An honest mistake.

That's quite a mistake! A 50% price increase. A little too high, IMO.

 

[jbonzo1]

I hope the Raupenschlepper price stays where it is. I would like to see a new Jagdpanther but the price would probably be quite high.
