I'm actively working on convincing the wife to let me get the X-wing. We'll see how that goes. At least I have a couple weeks until it goes up for sale. I was hoping it would be 999$ but given the economy I'm not surprised at the 1199$ price tag.
Truth is....commissioning someone to build a salzo V3 and paint it would be more than that anyway, so it's not a bad price.
At least I'm in the USA and not in California so I wouldn't have to pay tax on it if I do order one.
