"The four Tech I Battleships will sell for 124.99 USD each, and the four Faction Battleships are sold as a set for 499.96 USD."
I'll tell you what, you can keep 'em.

it'd depend on the quality and size, we'll see. the poor must wait to see if its worth it.
it is rather pricey i agree, but, they're collectables :\
maybe ccp will consider its prices at somepoint. -

CCP always said that the reason they weren't offering ship models was because they'd be too expensive. However, it looks like something has changed that makes it worth it for them to sell them, and it's not like you have to buy them.

very expensive.
I could buy some Gunpla for $40 and have it come out more detailed than one of those models.

You realize those are not mass-produced 2-inch rubber children's toys that somehow resemble a spaceship, yes? Those are high quality display pieces combining several different materials and hand-painted colors. It wouldn't surprise me if the Apoc was a foot long, either (though I have no actual proof, just making educated guesses from the level of detail visible on the images).
You want a quality model? You pay for it. You want a cheap toy? Print out a screenshot and cut the paper, that's (almost) free...
I for one will probably get at least one of these.

Well they better be pretty damn detailed for that kinda cash.
I just keep getting images of so called 'hand painted' collectables you find in tabloid magazines, you know the ones... the ones that some poor child in a developing country gets paid a dollar a day to dab a few paint highlights on.

Actually, Whisper mentioned on IRC that the Tempest is about 16 inches long. The apocalypse is probably 18+ inches long.

Islandic economy is on the brink of breakdown. The inflation rate is about 14-15% atm. Wait another year and those models will be $3000 :P

they're resin casts, that stuff is relatively expensive. (especially since the moulds aren't nearly as reusable as high-pressure steel ones for plastic) It's also capable of holding a great deal more fine detail, so it is probably safe to assume the models will be quite detailed.

That's... 70 quid?
It's not excessive for large, high quality, limited run model kits.

Considering bandwith and servers cost a fair bit, I say he probably has a few RL coins to spare looking at eve-files and eve-search... _

You fail at reading sir.
You can buy them Individually or as a 4pack for a nominal discount
