That thing would look cool with some embossed Cobra symbols on it, or even cut out of the frame with red backlight.

There quickly comes a point where 3D printing a production item is a bad idea.

It's a beautiful vehicle but at that price point and size, 3D printing is an absurd manufacturing choice. They need to start investing in tooling to lower costs and increase quality...even if that means switching to a presale model to offset risk.

Would I buy an inject-molded Phlanax for $200? Yes.

Would I buy a 3D printed version for $400? Absolutely not.

Agreed how do they charge $200 for an awe striker but $400 for this or $35 for a weapons set but tires are whatever per set there prices are all over the place and don?t make any sense

The tooling would cost more than their entire annual revenue. These products are obviously not for everyone judging by the comments so don't buy it if you don't like it. I personally love gridiron studios products. Are they overpriced? Sure. Do I wish they were more affordable? Yes! Will I stop buying them? Fuck no! They would have to sell 100 times the product,or raise prices to astronomical levels to justify investing in molds. I'm kinda glad most people wont buy a Phalanx,it just makes the ones I own more special/rare. To each his own!

I like Gridiron, they are expensive i agree with that, but, i have purchased numerous loadouts to help improve some of the classified figures, and bought weapons and accessories that didnt come with the original release, especially Alpine, would i buy any vehicles from Gridiron, no, simply to expensive and you can see the the 3D printing, so like Kirkhammer said, to each their own, i certainly understand the cost, and its why i do not buy from them often, but when i do i never have a complaint about the quality.
