There was a discussion the other day about how much one of these should be. Here is one running right now on a .99 no reserve so you can gauge what the FMV is. Believe me I would sell the ruined version I have here for that. auction |

Well its currently up to $102 USD + $21 USD shipping and still has over three days left |

I completely do not understand FoW production/marketing plans. Their line of buildings and terrain is rather popular, but if you don't get them when they first come there is a very high chance you will never see them again. Not a good way to rake in the cash |

It's pretty low margin and long production time I'd say. They're not idiots when it comes to making cash, chances are they could apply their resources elsewhere for a better return. Or on other terrain lines. |

I'm with VonTed on this one.
BF's logic on keeping things in production confuses me. |

It's because Battlefront's production is not in-house or continuous. They contract overseas and have a lot of difficulty in doing so. They negotiate with a factory for a production run, but if the factory has a larger/better offer from a different company (and in the global market of manufacturing corporations, Battlefront is teeny-tiny) it gets priority. That is SoP for most companies who don't own their own manufacturing facilities. |

They must have been paying attention. They're taking special orders for a limited run of the fort right now. They will quote delivery times, etc. once they get a count on how many to produce. I've ordered mine. |

Ordered mine through the FLGS. Not sure how I'm going to pay for it, but I missed it the first time around and need to get one this time. |
