Response to I bought one last week . . .

When Fujimi kits were imported (by someone else) they were relatively cheap. Even into the 90s their old 1/76 range was about $5-$6. When they switched to MRC as their US importer the prices of those kits jumped up to $15-$19.

Now that Testors is not importing Italeri to the US, Italeri has moved over to MRC... and the same price jump has taken place. Not only are old molds being sold for as much or more than new kits, but even some newish kits reissued by Italeri are going for out of sight prices. For example, the AMT/Ertl Douglas A-20 Havoc was a $15-$18 kit a couple years ago... now its $70!
