Thumbs up Variation in pricing

To: charlie s charlie

The models at the beginning of the page are die cast models made for mass distribution and therefore lack the technical detail of a quality model. The prices start to increase when you get to the Corgi models, which are made in limited runs and are numbered. These models are extremely well detailed. On the cheaper models please note the physical size. Some are quite small. In the case of the Robinson models Helicopters only used to have a separate section for them. They obviously included them with the die cast models although they are cast resin with clear canopy and detailed interior. This caused the extreme price jump from the cheaper die cast models and the Corgi models. Hopefully this will explain the price variations.
