I've seen far better pricing for fully painted models at E-tailers.  Still, someone out there with more money than anything else [if that is possible these days] will buy them.   I bought undec Atlas GP7's last year at the Bedford, PA N Scale Weekend for $45.00 each.  Undec LifeLike SW's were only $25.00.  Every once in a while really good deals like that and the LifeLike blowout sale just before they were purchased by Walthers occur.  I liken it to playing golf.  You can be having the most miserable game of your entire life.  Then you drop a 60 foot putt or make one fanastic shot and you think that if you can do that once, with a little more practice, you can do it more often.  Of course luck plays a big part in all of it.  But if it happened once...

If you like paying retail than this will be a good deal.  It sure looks to me like Kato has dumped some old stocl on the retail chain just to get rid of it, like the RDC's.  I guess Atlas hasn't gotten to that point yet.

That Atlas naked sale is for 10% off MSRP, not retail.  MB has decorated's for about a buck more, providing they have your scheme.

If your going to correct somebody than check your facts and be "correct"!

This reminds me of a guy once in an old RC airplane club I belonged to, we were discussing fowler flaps at a meeting one night and he pipes up that he knows all about them because he invented them.  Funny thing was his wasn't an engineer and his last name wasn't Fowler.  Some people will look for any opportunity to try and put others down.

WOW!  :o

I can see why you're not on the welcoming committee...having a bad day are we?

Where I come from, MSRP is what the manufacturer thinks is a good price, Retail/invoice price is what the Dealer charges, which is usually lower.

Since you didn't specify, I tried to.

But judging from your previous postings on this forum, this reply will be a mute point. ::)

I did, see above comment.  BTW, it should be "THEN" not "THAN"

And WHO is putting others down here?

I didn't mean to start a flame war, I have more important things to do.....like modeling.  So I'll raise the white flag and surrender right now, you win. 

Have a nice day! :)
