Ridiculous.....

Response to Italeri Panzerjäger I 4.7cm PaK for $22.5!!!!

Ive just done the currency conversion on that and it comes out as $36 NZ dollars!!! Brand new Dragon kits dont sell for that kind of price here! I know that the world economy is shot but these extreme price increases just dont seem to have any validity. If the model companies and suppliers keep demanding these ridiculous prices then they are going out of business. There is no way i am going to spend $36 dollars on a 30 year old kit!

As an aside, i was talking to one of the guys at my local model shop and he said they are no longer ordering speculative 1/72nd models. They will only stock new 1/72nd models if they already have several firm orders. They just can't afford to have kits on the shelf, which never get sold, because they cost so much. Its a bit sad really, because the discovery of a new lusted after kit on a shop shelf is one of the pleasures of the hobby.
