I was looking at the Italeri LCVP on E-Bay and found the normal kit (6441) Buy-it-Now priced at about £33. The search also brought up a few of the newer released LCVP with Jeep, (6479) priced at £19. (Again, Buy-it-Now) I was so curious I bought one. I can't fathom this price difference, given that the cheaper kit has an extra jeep and trailer, and some figures... except the figures are pretty disgraceful, maybe the cheaper price is compensation for them...
Any ideas folks?
Or have Italeri gone mad?

That's ebay, I presume they were different sellers, maybe one wanted to make a profit and the other wanted to unlead a kit they didn't want to build for some reason.
always remember there is not always logic to pricing on ebay.
