So, for less than thirty dollars (Including shipping) I received four sets of fin cans and nose cones. That same amount of money would buy me one Eliminator kit at SRP.

Hmmm, that's weird. I wonder why they wouldn't have parts for a kit they still sell (Eliminator, I just checked the website and they still list it.) and instead have parts for a kit that was last sold 10 years ago. Can't blame ya for going for that deal though. 
I bought up a number of Long Shot's a few years back just to have a stockpile of the fin cans and cones. |
