On Other boards, I have read that there will eventually be 5 (or 8) versions of the kit. But limited to 1500 copies per version.

In Response To: There's a second version coming out they may be making those now. They are made in the usa ()

They are going to remain, Hi-Cost Rarities, no matter what happens.
I think as a Sales Technique this risks upsetting the customers you rely on, but so far it does seem to be working for the folks who backed the kit.
Speaking only for myself, I think their sales and marketing of this kit is offensive and exploitation of their current and future customers. I have wanted one since I heard about it. But, I'll not ever buy one, due to how they have handled sales of this kit. And for the Company who helped design and market this, I'll never give you a penny, because of the way you have done this.

Matt&Dawn, or anyone in the know, I keep missing the Salvinos JR modified kits. Is there another one coming out soon? *NM*
- There are more coming (we don't know when). Supply is limited, we get what we can. They sell out quickly. All new kits are posted at the top of the home page when they come in. *NM*
  - They are going for stupid prices on those auction sites. The guy that manufactures these has severly limited supply. I guess they want to see how high they can get the prices. Don't pay it. Wait until they come in here. Its a nice kit, but certainly not woth the prices some

        I do not like it either.....but it's 'Free Enterprise' way......
        
        I hope the aftermarket decal guys get their gears engaged. There a dozens of these cars in the Northeast. Of course somebody will want "licensing fees" which will kill the whole deal.
        Salvino got here from doing "sports collectibles"; they seem to be using that business model with the kits. I'm guessing they will eventually offer this kit without decals, in more readily available numbers *NM*
        
        It can be a tug of war on the shelf - do they make more money selling the blank kit (and pocketing the licenses) or do the brand names sell for a higher price (and absorb the extra cost?) *NM*
        
        I had contemplated getting one, until I saw the struggles (and elevated prices) involved. For me it's not a "must have" and my life won't suffer if I don't have one... there are so many other kits competing for my money that I can skip this one effortlessly. *NM*
        
        I agree, Marck C. You've said it better than I could have. *NM*
- Most model companies have limited edition kits. It's fairly common. *NM*
