Those little jet engines had better be able to cook hot dogs for that price!  :o

I hope he's joking!

I bet you could model one in 1:1 scale for well under $20mil. Wife must be forcing him to sell his baby, so maybe he's just going through the motions.

Dear m1engineer,

ok, so I gotta know, what makes this particular RDC worth $20,000,000? Consitering I can order one directly from Kato for $300.

Dear delamaize,

Nothing, just the lister. I found this method to work quite well for other categories.

Ha, and you still have to pay $5.85 for shipping...

Bryan, do you mean the Jet RDC, or RDC's in general?  Are we finally gonna see B&M, TRE, et al schemes?  That would be cool.  Expensive, but cool.

Doug,

The NYC Jet RDC and the B&M (Minuteman and-McGinnis) in the Kobo line.  Too bad they won't offer the B&Ms without all the expensive electronics.

I thought the shipping was reasonable. Wonder if it includes insurance?  ;D ;D ;D

Looks like it has been re listed at a more respectable price of $295.
