Terrific, I wonder who got the other two! You can just imagine how exciting

it would be to pick up something like that at the show! Thats an item an

entire collection could be built around!

I guess its a good thing I didn't make the show, because I would have been

buying a ticket on the plane for one of those if it had still been available when

I entered the room. Generally speaking "I'll take it" is usually spoken

before the voice of reason enters the room......especially if she isn't with

me.

The list price of the LCT Mk 6 is $1699, but there was a show special on the three display sets with a discount of $200. They were sold in 5 minutes.

I actually thought it would be more than that.

... Steven who grabbed the 3 show LCT's?

No, I am going to wait for the West Coaster since I drive down from San Francisco and it is easier to just stick it in my car. I have pre-ordered one since I was told there were already pre-orders for 13 Sunday morning.

Steven what a wonderful addition to your collection! One day you will have

to post a few photos! I agree being able to drive it home personally would

seem to be the best idea. What is it constructed from?

There are other variations on the theme, K&C syndrome for example, but the shock and awe induces the severe cases..........

Oh yes, I have that variation of the syndrome as well . The K & C Syndrome is more of a year round thing that really seems to comes on strong at the beginning of each month. The Figarti strain usually smacks me down with a wallop just around this time each year !

Thankfully, there is treatment available for this very serious affliction/addiction, but it's very expensive !

Some type of plastic that is not the same as the vehicle resin, very solid but not heavy. In the room, Rick actually stood on the deck to show how strong the LCT deck is

Thanks Steven! Thats really going to be something in your collection!

Could someone explain me, why a Figarti tank costs the double of a K& C?

Figarti tanks of late has been listing at $169 - $179 U.S.$ K.C. $129 - $149 so not much of a difference. Also Figarti tanks are generally more detailed, thus the slight increase in price..Michael

 

[General Custer]

Thanx for this explanations, because FIGARTI M3 Grant is $280 and K&C DD101 Destroyer $175 _ to compare comparable vehicles ( details, crew)

Hope JS2 will not cost $300

My magnificent Figarti LCT arrived safely today, and I have already begun clearing one of the rooms in my museum for an enormous Figarti WWII and Vietnam display. Once I have put everything together, I will take photos for Brad or Brian to post.

Where are you going to put it? Also, since Build a Rama made the mats, are you going to contact them to make you mats?

I am converting the small room with the older K&C stuff. I am going to set it up on the diorama platform in that room, and I will be ordering a Build a Rama mat, once I measure the space.

That platform is perfect for that but where are you going to put your NW frontier dio?

"Dear, you know we had the discussion about the garage, you remember, the one that ended with your expression 'on pain of death', well I was just wondering.......

I have to get a table to put it on in the main room. It's going to get a little tight, but its do-able.

Quite right. A man has to know his limitations.
