Yeah, that’s sounds about right.

Was looking in oldmodelkits website last night. Found a few more I remember or done. Onemit I do remember do8ng is the Battlestar Gallactica spaceship. You know... the round one of the enemy. Didn’t do the Viper one though. But hey, I did do the Buck Rogers fighter ship too.
It’s funny when you find a kit you used to do but completely forgotten you’ve done that kit. Hell, I probably did more than 300 or so since those no longer were saved growing up.
I remember doing the Superman kit and quite a few of the Monsters series as well.

Heh... I’ll probably remember more after this post.

Jacque Cousteau ship with shark cage and shark. Oh, I’d kill to get that one again.

LOL! I have that kit and built it too. It's sitting on display in my living room. I've always loved his show; I never missed "The Undersea World of Jacque Cousteau".

There is one on eBay but I refuse/hate getting in a bidding war. Especially those robo bids. Hate them so much.

One of the main reasons I don't shop E-bay. If there's no "buy it now" button, I don't shop there.

But you can choose "buy it now" on the left side of page.

True, but some shops don't have that option on the left side. I'm guessing they are private sellers who are trying to get the most they can for what they're selling. Those are the ones I avoid.
