I expect people are holding onto their negatives because they haven't got a scanner :lol:

. But my scanner is alive and well especially at weekends

that's good news Andy! the bad news for me is that I'm going to stick with an unassembled DJH kit for ever...

edit: now that I have seen the price I think I'm going to start building the one I already got

I second you BarbaPanagos...
... but was it right that the recommended price is 399 euros :shock:

for a ready to run plastic model? Customers must be in short supply for them also :lol:

we'll have to look at their 2014 new releases catalog, I hope this is not Roco's new economic policy...
normally a model like this goes at around 200 E, 280 E with sound, and one could get it sooner or later with a 20-25% discount...
unless it is made by ESU
