Folks. A public service announcement:
If Tim ever does a Punisher sale again - DO NOT MISS IT!
I bought one the first time around, and was astonished how few people "got it". This is, in my opinion, one of the coolest rockets Wildman has ever done. I was really amazed how many people let it pass them by without realizing what a great kit this was. It seems like lot of folks starting understanding after the fact when it was too late. It wasn't like there was no advance hype about it, so it mystified me that so many missed it. And at $99, it was one of the best deals around in years.
Well, unfortunately I proceeded to kill mine, in rather spectacular fashion. Dang! By this time many finally "got it" and the buzz about this rocket was out there, but it was no longer available (except by special order/arrangement through Tim). I wasn't flying much due to work and life getting in the way, and I regretfully accepted the fact that I blew it, and lost out on what was fast becoming one of my all-time favorite rockets. Dang again.
But, then it reappeared amongst the Wildman offerings! At the same $99 price! (there was much rejoicing). I of course jumped on it right away and bought another. A Punisher in my fleet once again - this is a very good thing.
Now once again, it seems like folks missed the window and didn't understand what they were missing until it was too late. How can this be? I know it's just my opinion, but again I gotta say this rocket is unique and one of the coolest kits out there. It's totally worth buying even not on sale. But fer' crissakes, don't miss another sale if it happens! Get a Punisher, pay full price if you have to, fly it and be happy.
Can't wait to fly mine again (this time I promise I won't almost kill anyone with it),
