When I first returned to the hobby, I pre-ordered a lot of items -- only to be disappointed with some upon delivery. With time I've moved away from current production items to those no longer produced, i.e., pre-war along with some MPC as well as other items I took a pass on back in the 90's. There are plenty of those out there and finding one in the "right" condition is part of the "thrill of the hunt" I suppose. If you really want it, go for it! (Then again, you can wait a few years and pick it up once depreciation has taken it's toll )
