ScottsGT Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I thought I read somewhere that this one was being re-released? I see a few on eBay but at very high BIN pricing. Anyone got the scoop on this? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I thought so too, but ended up getting super lucky at the NATs this year and found one for $100. Broke the box and parts down in my suitcase to get it home, it's a BIG kit. I too haven't seen any SUFAs for sale at "theres plenty of them out there" prices.

Dave Williams Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Hannant’s has 4 in stock for 100 pounds. The kit was never cheap. The MSRP was like $170 when the kit was released in 2010. What prices are people expecting? Edited December 14, 2018 by Dave Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think my LHS had one on the shelf, should I drop in on the weekend and have a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaf-man Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Lucky sold them at about $70 back then together with their flat $2 postage once in a while...no competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Bought two new ones just a couple of weeks ago from an ebayseller here in Germany. Got them for € 79 each because I bought two. Nice catch for me. Usually they go for over € 100 overhere. Lothar reconspit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 eBay prices are around $140-$160 and then some are asking $50+ for shipping. There is one up for auction currently I'm watching. Found one from an overseas seller for $100, but then its $50 to ship. I was hoping these would come back in stock at Sprue or Free Time with reasonable shipping. Problem is, I need want 2 kits. One to build the SUFA oob, and one to build into a Block 52 my Doc flies in. He's a flight surgeon for the SCANG Swamp Fox's. He gets a lot of back seat time in these.

So, I don't expect it to be close to $200. The cheapest I saw so far from online retailer is ~$130 shipped to US, eBay excluded.

I did and it’s on the shelf collecting dust unfortunately the tag is $229.99....although I know these guys are good people, if you contact them about the kit and ask for Darren or warren and ask if they can better the deal they will most likely do their best to move the kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Having just picked my copy up in August, I can say there is a LOT of plastic in the box for your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 OK, just ordered the SUFA from Seal model. His price was $99 + the $45 ride. I already have the ROK 2 seater (SUFA kit without decals) I was planning on turning into a Thunderbird D. Might just build this one for my Doc as his ride and build the SUFA OOB.
