Interesting thread over on LSP. Getting shot down big time due to the cost.  That’s the side I’m on myself.  Just no way to justify another Phantom at that price point.  I built my B model for right at $300 USD back in 2015.  That was the Tamiya kit, intakes and GT Resin B conversion.  
I wish RPM all the best luck in this adventure as I’m sure a few guys will flex their wallets and go there.  But will it be enough to keep RPM in business?

The price is definitely going to be a challenge for some folks. They'll have to decide if the value preposition is there.

@ScottsGT, it's not much further off what you paid for your build, just in one box and not spread out over a base kit, conversion, and other AM. 

I think it's similar to what happened when Border Models released the Lancaster kits. Those who want one will get it and others will either wait for it to go on sale or possibly pick one up second hand. 

Of course a lot will also depend on the final quality of the kit.
