I have that kit in the closet.
Bought it a while ago, I won't say how long, but the price sure has gone up since I bought mine, but I paid under $100.00 for it.
Excellent kit though, for a super detailer, it could become a life time project, or something to keep a retired senior citizen off the streets. :-)

I also have the original released kit, started her a few years ago, but the instructions where so vague that it's just impossible to stay focused.
all in all not a bad kit, but she lacks details, especially compared to the real full scale model....
but still, she's a roomfiller and an eyecatcher once complete, that's for sure....
(I'll post the pics in about 50 years or so.. should be able to make it by then...)
ooh, and 219 usd is a very high price..... I paid 110 € (approx) about 5 years ago...
looks like plastic is getting more expensive every year;...
