Subject: Build your own Vector 3 printer over 2 years ?!
So I don't know about the rest of the world but the uk have a tradition (can't think of the word?) of buying model kits via a weekly or monthly magazine subscription. Normally you get a big fancy ad saying the first issue is only 99p, each future issue is 10.99 and you need 100 of them is shown in small print.
Anyway.......
I have no idea how good the Vector 3 is and would like some opinions on that but apparently its rrp is £799 but if you order now you can get a fully built one for £699
But if you pay £1.99 plus 89 lots of £6.99 (£624.10) you will get a weekly magazine, a few bits every week and a bunch of free stuff so that in 2 years time you can have your own printer.
Is it worth that much now? Will it be worth that much in 2 years time? Questions I don't have the answer to but I do have the web site.
For those unfamiliar with this purchase model (that's the word) a 1:1 pre painted replica Millennium Falcon movie prop for just under a grand over two years.
Yeah, I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole. There's no way the printer is going to cost 800 pounds two years from now, so you'd be better off either buying a better one or a cheaper one some time in the next two years. And that's the best case scenario - worst case, the magazine implodes before you're done and you're left with 300 pounds of half a printer.
