Partwork models

[Guest]

Just seen the ad for a model of James Bond Aston Martin 1:8 on tv tonight and its 2Ft long and there only 85 issues.

Cool, i seen it to, i wonder how much the 2nd mag issue is, i recon about £9.99 that would make the model around £850.00. I often ask myself, are these prices really worth it.

84 issues at £6.99 plus the first at £1.99 works out at £589.15. It is big but that is still expensive and will still take nearly 2 years of dedication to keep it going.

mmm, cheaper than i thought, but still far more too expensive than it is really worth. I could by another 12 1/16 scale RC Tigers for that price hehe

That's true but it looks the business and I dont know if I will go for it or not

Was there not a problem with these part work things. News agents get them in and after the first few issues, they drop them due to them not selling or not selling enough?

I would recommend that you get a GT from the news agents or better still find out if they can be purchased direct from the publisher.

Some great projects have fallen to the ground so be careful.

Edit: I see on the web site that you can subscribe direct and get it delivered to your door so thats a big plus.

Ive got to admit that having looked at the web link, i do think that you are getting quite a car for the money, the detail is superb. I have seen these things before, take the lancaster for instance, it didnt have a quarter of the detail this model has and was no way on this earth worth the money people paid for it. You could have got a flying model for the price it worked out at.
