On ebay over the last couple months, the non-rc USA release panzers without the side skirts have been selling for just as much or more than the euro panzers with the skirts!

what's up with that??

Supply and demand. With 21st OOB now, my guess is that basically everything they ever made is going to become scarcer and command somewhat higher selling prices over time.

Glad I got them when I did. I even once got one from this board for around $25 for custom use. Those were the days

copying them would be great since you already have something to make molds with eh?

The question is who has the molds?

I'd say go for it PH, but I don't think you could do it as cheaply, as they are selling on ebay.
