That's amazing. I wonder who the clientele is for built rockets in this price range? One would be attempted to conclude that a 'builder' hobbiest would defer to spend that kind of money on a 'kit' to build on their own. Additionally, one might assume that those not interested in the hobby wouldn't want to spend anywhere near that on a model for ANY reason.

As I've stated before in other threads, I'm not criticizing folks about what they spend their money on....it's their money and they are free to spend it as they wish. Just trying to understand the exact motivation.
