Eleanor die-cast model

[torch]

Hey guys, I came across this Eleanor model "subscription" this morning while looking for something else. It's really, really cool if you are into model building.

It's a 1:8 scale, highly detailed, complete with lighting, die-cast model of Eleanor that you build over a period about 30 months. They feed you 4 "kits" every 21 days by mail and you just poke along at your own pace. It's not cheap though -- by my calculations it comes out to about $1850 USD.

Mustang Eleanor Build-Up

Build the first officially licensed 1:8 scale die-cast model replica of the Eleanor Mustang car, star of the original 1974 movie and 2000 remake, Gone in 60 Seconds. Over 58cm long and packed with authentic details, working lights and sounds. Available on subscription.

They have some other vehicles as well, along with star trek stuff, etc. The DeLorean was the one that really caught my eye.

That's a really cool kit, but $1850 USD..... thats pushing $2400 real dollars !!

You'd have to be a serious model builder to commit to that, but it's all relative I suppose, and hey, you could drop dead tomorrow, so why not?

Personally though, I need that $2400 for new tires.

My thoughts as well. But on the other hand, it's also a slow burn over the course of 30 months so it doesn't hurt as much?

I hadn't considered that, you're right. I was thinking up front cost.
