About $ 185. I know, it's a lot of money, but I don't regret it.

Went out for a short walk this afternoon, heard the distinctive sound of a couple military helicopters flying over, and was rewarded with an overfly of two USMC AH-1Ws heading into the Fresno, Ca. Airport

Its not very often that I get to see helicopter gunships flying over. The USMC does not base AH-1s in Fresno, so I believe these may have come out of nearby NAS Lemoore or somewhere else. Camp Pendleton is too far to the south.

A little bit of sag on the rotors is perfectly normal on the real Cobra.
