That is what I thought when I actually read into the model. At first I saw nyx with model and price tag, wtf. But then I read into it. 500 made and two feet long is fairly substantial. Toss in the electronics, that bumps it up. Polystone is the highest detail cast material I know of. It is extremely fine and puts resin to shame. I am not a big casting collector, but I do gather it is top of the line. The pictures at least allude ro extreme detail. This very well could on a detail and quality level on a grade to high art. That costs money. I wouldnt put down that money without knowing their quality or expectation first hand. To be fair, I have some expensive collectibles that dont have lights and levitation. To compare, I have an old honds motorcycle where I put $800 of brake rotor on the front. Another has the same for a rear shock and spring. People dont hesitate to spend money if they find value. For an extremely high detail piece of that size with technology inside? Quite probably well worth it for model collectors. To quote Lfod Shi The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

d0cTeR9 Astro Technologies SpaceMonkey's Alliance 254	Posted - 2015.10.20 20:55:11 - [15] - Quote Pretty expensive. I know, been building and selling finished model kits (some even r/ced) for 10+ years. That's about what i would charge for making 1 unit, with electronics/paintjob. That company either has really expensive base cost or it's ripping us off. Been around since the beginning.

Also same size and do you have an idea about the cost of the magnets to make it hover? Edit: Last I looked at something like this it was a $3,500 model with a considerable amount of work done on electronics/lighting and being about the same size, the impression I get here is that the base model without that still costs quite a bit less than the polystone cast, so given equal electronics work I'd expect this to cost more. That or the pricing on those models was far more out of proportion.

The thing LITERALLY hovers Yes, correct, they said it at the last O7 show. It's indeed costly, but hey, no one is forcing you to buy. After all, it will be the market to decide if it's worth the price tag, you know, like in EvE online :p If someone plans to buy one, just tell me where do you live so I can gank the courier delivering it with my tornado!

That or the pricing on those models was far more out of proportion. Not that much actually. Electronic module is $50, lights $50, magnet $30-$50. A good size 2 feet - 3 feet model kit is around $300-$400. The star trek ships i build for customers go for around $1500-$2500. That's with the lights, sound, etc. Thats hand made, per order and not a company spitting out quite a few of them. That company is wasting money on polystone casting and making the end-user pay for it. Then again... less work for them. As someone that works with model kits, resin kits, etc, and has been for 10+ years, i find it's quite expensive for what you get. But like always, there's always someone willing to pay for something (and in truth, it's not like we have much choices for eve-online stuff). Been around since the beginning.
Otso Bakarti Filial Pariahs 381	Posted - 2015.10.21 03:27:10 - [23] - Quote I meant to get back to this post earlier...more Otso wisdom for you. $ince the dollar is only worth 28 cents, the actual cost in real money (not the fake US stuff) would be a paltry $64. People aren't obliged to share the fantasy world of others. If people want to still believe a dollar is worth 100 cents, that's fine. But, it's like Santa Claus, when someone tells you the truth of the matter, don't go sobbing like it's HIS fault. Fear of death follows from fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. -Mark Twain -

But, it's like Santa Claus, when someone tells you the truth of the matter, don't go sobbing like it's HIS fault. This is the most broken understanding of currency I have ever seen. It's like one of those trick questions you use to catch dumb people being dumb. Like that video going around facebook where the guy asks his girl if - if they're going 60mph (60kph for the metric folk) how long would it take you to drive 60 miles (km for metric users again) - to which she is unable to determine that it will take one hour. Point of that slight rant is to say that 1 dollar will ALWAYS be worth 100 cents, and dollars and cents are both US currency, therefore they retain the same relative value in relation to each other. Now, has you said 1 dollar being worth 1 euro, then we have a conversation. However, since you also brought up the topic of "real money" despite having no understanding of currency in general, this conversation will likely turn into a debate on which currency is more like Monopoly money. To which I say, Dinar (Iraqi Currency) is most like Monopoly money both in aesthetics and likely value.

Facedesk Eternal The Price Of Freedom 0	Posted - 2015.10.21 17:38:19 - [26] - Quote I saw an unfinished model of this in the Project Triforce booth at New York Comic Con this year. They said they do have payment plans if you don't want to pay the $1800 upfront but was just fine walking out with my little $20 U.S.S. Appalachia (NCC-52136) I found at another booth. The ship is actually floating, spinning slowly, about 2-3 inches above the platform with what I assume would be spin-stabilized magnetic levitation.

Shipping and insurance (it's a 1,8k piece, people will insure it) will bump this to 2k to get one. Limited edition increase the price of something only if the demand is high enough to justify the increase. What if they don't sell? Will they then slash the price because they have to get rid of stocks? Is the playerbase large enough to provide that many Nyx lover interested enough in this game to drop 2k on a model? I could be completely wrong but I don't see them selling all units at that price to be honest...

I will sub your account for two months if any of these original 500 are available from the manufacturer (Not a resale on e-bay, not a re-issue) 4 months after they are available to the general public. If they sell out in less that 4 months I'll donate a plex for good, or the equivalent to a charitable organization of your choice. 500 is a toe in the water. They will do a second run of these. Edit: Well.....perhaps not a second run if they want them to retain collector value, especially if they have other EVE models in the wings. Dan Honey Never Sleeps.
