People keep bringing up price point and I would like to take a moment to point out that the Vamps from POC/ROC and the 30th line are realistically untouchable on the secondary market for less than $70. Absent the double clutch the figure that comes with it (Steel Brigade or Night Fox with the NCC) can be viewed as mostly unusable due to 5 POA articulation. So, if the price point is in that region it should be viewed, in the vein of the market we currently have, as competitive with other like made vehicles.
If you can make this vehicle more desirable than the VAMPs and VAMP Mark IIs, then you can reasonably look at a price point of higher. My personal assumption would be that most people saying if the price is right don't want to pay more than $25 for a vehicle, which is unlikely, no? This is possibly a smaller print run, premium vehicle that is offered through a small business with initial overhead costs to cover, so thinking that it will be a low price point should be unlikely (stop me anywhere in here if I am way off base) in the early stages and as molds are developed and cost to develop drops the company will be able to offer more products at a similar price, and when you factor in CPI adjustments, it should be more for the consumer per dollar spent in the future. Bottom line, if this product looks good, pay the price in order to fund future development and availability of more vehicles, which will in turn possibly/likely drive down prices on the VAMPs on the secondary market as demand drops. I think if your price point can be in the range of what is already selling on the secondary market then we should, as a community, embrace it.
