$95 a kit would sell a lot better than $100...even $97 is more appealing to those trying make ends meet, and also not get in trouble with their significant others for wasting money on toys. $100 is like a magic number that many people see as the beginning of "Serious money", as opposed to "Fun money". Allowing for upgrades is also a great idea. Starting with a base model like a car and then adding on the extras makes it easier to understand what you get for your money. Especially if some of the upgrades can be purchased afterwards separately. The biggest complaint I hear all the time with kits like the Wilco, and versions like the Offworld, is always the size of the grips. Fixing that would also go a long way to make this a popular kit. Accuracy is also seemingly subjective. That is why Rick's kits are still so popular regardless of accuracy.

A total dummy has limited appeal, a dummy with possible upgrades make it more fun.
And it lets me make it into a great looking build up model as well.
I hope you can get behind this.

Rich you're the top when it comes to the blaster. but the thing the thing that keeps a lot of people away is the price. I know you get what you pay for, but providing a lower cost replica with your attention to detail would bring in many new customers. who might wish to "trade up" to a metal version someday. something to think about

I understand, and last time found most buyers wanted to upscale model which is why I stopped making the stunt model.
And I have already started cleanup of the old master, upgrading it and reworking the grip frame to allow the use of the newest grips.
So yes it will have the same grips as my top of the line model.

I'd vote for the Worldcon version. As for the triggers I liked the metal ones but either or is good. I had the solid trigger on another stunt broken by a guest during an after party. Sadly it happens if you leave something like that out where it can be handled. On that count its probably easier to repair a solid trigger than a moving one though.
