It's been mentioned before, but the comment is still valid. Given teh M103A1 debacle, if the M6A1 is similar, it's going to cut into their sales, to be sure. At the$70 price point, they are marketing to the upper end of the model builder market and if it's rubbish, we will be less inclined to buy it.

These are not impulse buys for Grandma to get for her 9 year old nephew, they are meant for people who can pay $70 and those people, (us!), want better.

A case of "three strikes and you're out" for Dragon?

If the M6A1 is as flawed as the T28 and M103A1 it might well be the case...

Jury's still out on the MBT-70 although the built-up pics apparently show a few innacuracies.

Cheers,

Christophe
