Same thing that's been going on since the hobby started. Old guys who hoarded kits drop dead, their stash is sold via estate sales or auctions, the buyers will know which kits can command top dollar, the kits will be offered for sale on certain model shop sites and eBay for really obscene money, guys on modeling sites will bitch and moan about the the prices. Oh, and we'll still be waiting, with bated breath, for the next $29.99 reissue of a 50-60 year old, technology challenged kit because it brings back warm, fuzzy childhood memories. Rinse and repeat. In other words, nothing will happen.

How about a nice Cubano? Hold the salami, though.

Until it tells us where the cheap kits are. Dead horses can be pretty stubborn.

It;s been 42 minutes since you posted. When can we expect an update?

Like Gerry said. Compared to armor kits, model cars are a bargain. Even without aftermarket add-ons, most armor is at least twice the price. Dragon Tiger Is retails for over $70. AFV Club's Patriot Missile kit will be going for a buck fifty. Even a lousy 1/35 Willys Jeep costs 35-42 dollars.

Where are you from, son? Madison City, Missouri, sir! Never heard of it.

Rich, when you lived on L.I., do you remember Trunz Meats in Williston Park and Port Washington?

Kurwa! That is the the best kind of mustard to have with kielbasa wiejska or fried kielbasa biala with some czarny chleb and sałatka ziemniaczana. I like the one from Cracovia also

James Comey told me to say that.

No condiments?!? You should know better. Always keep a pack of them in your wallet.

You're probably the only person who did. Whenever we were on maneuvers, we would give the little german kids our C-Rats. Even they threw the fruitcake, tuna, spaghetti and ham & eggs cans back at us.

Surprised you didn't tie numbnuts up to one of the Nike-Hercules missiles on post.

That sucks. Mine was also stolen. Teenagers from another block saw the thief with my bike, beat the living cr ap out of him and brought the bike back to my house.

We brought our own spice racks. Tabasco, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, etc. None of those were of any help when it came to Ham & Eggs, Chopped and Tuna Fish. If you were lucky, you'd have "Dead duke" bars in the cracker can.

I had the Apple Krate Today, my son and I have matching Grey Ghosts

Obviously, you've never eaten C-Rations Interestingly enough, the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps is responsible for food safety. There were a couple of Vet Corps inspectors checking the C-Rations in our supply room. One of the guys was marking specific cases with a large red "X". I asked him what that meant. "It's not fit for human consumption. That doesn't apply to you. You're Infantry."

Paying somebody 15 bucks per hour to get your order wrong at the local fast food chain isn't a benefit. Minimum wage jobs, combined with taking advantage of education (staying in school and actually learning something) should be a stepping stone and an incentive to a better job, not as a way of permanently supporting yourself and your family; or, because you don't have to stress the gray matter between your ears.

Which one is the Mercedes and which one is the Toyota?

Don't waste your time, Bill. I'm still waiting for a reply to an email I sent exactly four years ago tomorrow.

Looks like you're getting the old corporate brush-off, Brian. They don't want to know from nothing. You might consider starting a steel drum manufacturing company. Yo seem to have a real knack:

Looks like a first grade art project without the talent.

Narcissistic, attention-starved, me-monkey millennials prefer modes of transportation that provide the maximum LOOK AT ME! factor which mundane, four-wheeled appliances simply lack. "Today I saw Chance the starving kazoo voiced artist riding his penny farthing with a basket of kale. So I lit an M80 in his mouth." "Today, I saw 36yo Harrison hopping on his pogo stick to go buy sustainable locally brined pickles. So I suplexed him onto the Belt Pkwy."

Pantyhose make a great emergency alternator/fan belt.

The next leather coat you get, which was made in China, could be Lassie's cousin.
