Ever buy a kit and after it was complete (or nearly complete) look at it and go "M'eh"? A kit that looked good, or you thought it was a neat idea / concept / design only to look at it afterwards and think you paid too much for it? That it maybe didn't live up to the face card, that it's smaller / shorter / thinner / the proportions are off? Not talking about parts missing or what should be included, or quality of the parts, but the overall build / construction / design of the kit..
I bought a 'Quinstar' over the week-end and was going to do a build thread on it. Only it's much smaller than I thought, and when I opened the bag, the parts count seemed awfully low for the price I paid.. and flimsy too. (but I get that, to keep it light..) So, while it's pretty much 80% built... M'eh.. Would I have paid $25 for it (taxes & such included)? No. $15 or $20 max, with taxes & such..
