Have you noticed that plastic scale models are a rather expensive hobby these days?

[QUOTE="use2busa, post: 209625, member: 20417"] I just got back into doing this and I was shocked at the prices of these models. I remember 25 years ago when I was doing this we had a Toys R US back then with lots of model kits. Anyway I bought a Cutty Sark that was probably nearly 2 feet long. It was a big scale though I dont remember what it was now. I probably paid $50 back then for it. Now I would have to have a small loan from a bank. Same goes for a lot of Star Trek model kits. Use to build then as well and they were like 25 or so now they are 3 or 4 times that which is ridiculous. I sort of assumed the cost was because of lack of interest these days. Too many people would rather spend time on the computer with facebook getting likes. [/QUOTE]
