Hi Shazhib,

It's good to learn that Marushin have re-introduced the MP40 Kit. The price has indeed gone up dramatically, especially as the Pound is still pretty weak aganst US$ and the Yen but compared to the price for assembled modelguns, it is still relatively inexpensive.

Re-releasing this is a confidence booster too, at least we know Marshin haven't given up on their abs MP40

I paid just under $200 which, at the time was less than £100.

Two or so years have admittedly gone by since, the Pound's taken a real beating in that time.
Everything has increased in price sadly.

Previous price was 18,000.
It has been 18,000 for long time, considering all the price gone up (i.e. oil, material...), this is something inevitable......though, the price is always be nice to be lower.
