Re: WOW...
High prices for sure - a 1:200 scale plane isn't that big at about 6-7 inches long. TheFlyingMule always sells its products at retail cost so they are not inflating anything. Its really the manufacturer that has upped the price. Compared to other 1:200 scale aircraft models I've seen that are made of plastic, these are diecast and finely detailed. They also appear to have very limited numbers... Hence the high cost.

Re: WOW...
well when badcat had the c-17 it was priced at $144.95 and from all the sites ive been on ive never seen these 1:200 planes under $60 so i think im just going to stick with skymarks just hopefully thay will come out with a c-17 soon...

Re: WOW...
The Flying Mule's prices are reasonable, but it pays to shop around.
BTW, the Gemini Aces C-17 has had great reviews, and apparently weighs a lot. Big chunk of diecast.
And although I don't collect them, I understand that the 1/200 civvies are quite expensive.
