Build your own toy car - only *how much*?!

[swee'pea99]

Just caught an ad on telly for this:

https://www.deagostini.com/uk/collections/build-jaguar-e-type/

100 issues, £8.99 a pop - yes, you too could be the proud owner of a toy car for just 900 quid. Gordon Bennett. Are there really that many morons out there? I suppose there must be.

Buy the kits on their own, they're cheaper.

A Revell kit to the same scale is a snip at (just) under a hundred!

I wonder if the wheels come fully assembled, or do you have to glue all those spokes in yourself?

You probably get about 10 copies in before it gets pulled for not selling...

Should be four part wheels.

When ever I see those adverts I wonder what information about a Jag E Type they manage to spread over 100 magazines. It must be a very boring and repetitive magazine by the end.

How many people actually make it all the way to the end after 2 years of collecting the parts.

If it brings a bit of pleasure to people I see no problem with it, not my style though.

I bought a very tidy low mileage real car for £700. Could probably buy an old hack with a bit of MOT left for the remaining £200.

You do get 100 magazines too.

I know the E type was very fast, pretty, and had an interesting history, but I still can't help but think each issue is liable to be quite slim.

t. Are there really that many morons out there? I suppose there must be.

They do seem to have a lot of kits for sale and not only cars http://www.model-space.com/gb/model-trains.html etc.
