I'm glad you think $68 is reasonable. As much as I like the York I think this is an example of the hobby moving itself out of the reach of more and more people.

BTW, love the color reference work.

Thanks for the good words re: color references. There is more to come. As for the York, the value is in the eye of the beholder. The author of the review obviously likes the conversion while I maintain that it is in the wrong scale for these eyes...

I would like to point out that the manufacturer does not set the retail price...

However, both the silicone and the resin used to manufacture these kits is extremely expensive to start with - as anyone who's had a go at casting will know.

I don't dispute that. But this is a hobby and many other neccessary things make demands on one's funds. And given the mass of kit's I've accumulated getting extras for each build can be problematic.
