$80 for a Motorworks Tiger?

Post by rocky100370 » Sun Jan 03, 2010 6:31 am

Does everyone think this is a good deal? That price includes shipping. I really dont need this because I have an Ultimate Soldier eastern front tiger.

Well, if you figure 1000.00 is too much, 35.00 is too cheap, throw in 15-20.00 for freight; I guess that's about what they'd go for- the latest JSI offering is selling for 69.00 plus..

I paid $69 for a die cast Tiger plus $15 for shipping recently. I guess it depends on if it is worth it to you in the end.

Which is too much.

I don't want to tell you what i paid for a gray Tiger recently, but it was far less than 69.


At the end of the day you gotta pay what you feel comfortable with. If 80 is cool with you, go for it.

Personally, more than, say, 50 bucks for a static 1:18 tank against what's possible in 1:16 at the price point static 1:18s are going for just doesn't wash.

And yet i just won't jump to 1:16.

I payed $34 for a diecast motorworks grey tiger and $50 for a diecast winter tiger on ebay within the last year, both MIB. I still see them go for cheap every now and then

The prices go up and down. I have gotten a dicast winter Tiger for 25 bucks +shipping before within a few months. I have alsopaid 90 bucks shipped for a mib grey dicast Tiger.

I am sure if you wait you will find one cheaper.
