None of this made any sense to me also. I asked him ( are you absolutely sure you want to do this?) the also terrible part is that he built this really cool 2 story shed ( more like a small house) that had a lot of models in there. And a beautiful bench with all of his tools. I was called last night and he wants me to buy  the Fujimi sports car models. Of course I said yes. So I’ll have a small collection of those also. $5 each. The shed will be turned into something else. Poor Phil, it’s not looking good for his modeling .

Mike buddy, if there was an Aston in there I would just give it to you. I have given away so many models. I just gave away a tamiya f1 kit to a friend that completed his 1/20 collection. Carl ( Slusher) I gave him a Jo-Han kit not long ago. I just gave away a few 1/8 very expensive kits to guys who didn’t have much. We have a small group of young modelers at our club and all of us give them models. I just gave away 2 1/32 f-86 jets to a couple of kids in our club. So making a little on kits but giving them away to kids that cannot afford it, it’s rewarding . Another story, the local police and sheriff dept for some reason had a whole wherehouse of plastic model kits . They get toys donated every year at Christmas, but the kids do not want models for some reason. So the kits were getting overwhelming. Like a wherehouse full. Over years. They came to our club and asked us if we wanted them. We took them and put them at everyone s houses. For a few years we had a great raffle drawing. Brought in a lot of money to our club. We had veterans builds for free, Kids free builds. Things like that. Sometimes things come to you in this hobby. Plus you get to meet a bunch of great people.

I was pondering a trade for a Tamiya DBS Aston Martin. Much to my surprise the lowest price that I could find is $ 160.54 Highest $318.25 free shipping from Japan. I have nothing even close to in my stash to make a reasonable offer.

Why are these kits so,so expensive?

That doesn’t sound too bad…a guy on Kijijii wants $80.00 for these “vintage” model supplies.😳

High-demand, high-quality kit that was only issued once. I looked at Ebay prices after I started building the one I've had in my stash for 10+ years... I made sure to be extra careful.

Tamiya might well reissue the Aston at some time, considering the tooling costs and it there looks to be a real demand for it.

The cost of AM-licensing appears to be prohibitive...
