Is my recollection faulty or did Dragon "recently" (within the last 2-3 years) reissue their Firefly kit? If so, what's its kit #?

It was more than a re-issue, it was a complete retool of their original Firefly Vc and they even gave it a new kit number.

Yes, I was thinking as much on the way to work as I was just in there last night but wasn't sure if it was the kit (6182) and then I couldn't recall the price (pre 40% off) as to whether or not it would make the second trip worth it...

And I appreciate the replies (and quick) all around...now I have to sit and wait all day (and more than likely won't be able to make it back over there till the weekend) and wonder if anyone is going to snag that kit...
