Re: An Early Christmas Present from K&C
The pay for a crew option seems to be a real sticking point with lots of folks. It does add least $76.00 to the price of the tank if you want all 3 crew members. Although the tank is the best I have ever seen, the HB crew members are no better than the K&C crews. So you do have an argument that the crew members should have been included. The 5 crew members I received with the sandbagged Sherman are still the best I have ever seen, and they came with the price of the tank. So yes, K&C are going to be chosen as a consumer best buy for sure. I think just by adding the crew with the tank, they would receive lots more orders for the this phenominal tiger. One advantage to this system, is if a crew member becomes damaged or lost, it can be easily replaced, which you can't do with the K&C limited editions. Also, as Ana pointed out, these tanks are truly customized to your specifications, which cannot be done with any other tank on the market. I am not crazy about the total cost, but if I desire one, I know that I will have to pay the price! One last thing, I will be very interested to know, if these tanks will break even on the e-bay market. I would be careful about investing in these for profit, because not too many people are going to pay what you payed for the tank.
The Reason why we add shipping is because you have to special order them so the each person will be paying from their dealer and from ana, unless you order it solely from ana and then the cost will probably be more. Also very few if any HB tanks will be order stock. I can gaurante people will add something whether it be crews bases or what not. I was going to buy an HB tank until i learned you had to pay extra for the crew.
