I saw an advert on TV for a detailed scale model of the back to the future delorian," ooh I'd love that" I thought to myself, then I saw the fine print.
130 issues, at £8.99 per issue means I could be the proud owner of a toy car that I had to build myself in two and a half years time, at a total cost of £1169.70.
I could buy a perfectly good roadworthy car for that money, or a decent gaming PC, or a bespoke suit, or even a decent holiday.
What would you do with £1169.70 rather than spend it on wasting two and a half years building something that will sit on a shelf trying to gather as much dust as it can |

you could buy the De Lorean model in 1/8th scale on an auction site for £54 delivered and spend the rest sitting in a pub having a few drinks thinking about the other saps waiting for part 2 to arrive |

Or. You could then get the cash back that you spent by hiring it out. Time machine hire business are great investments because you get the DeLorean back almost in stanly and can hire it out again immediately to the next customer without any waiting for it to come back. THATs why that a magazine charges so much you see!  |

Good ole DeAgostini (usually them) I think they did the Victory last year, we probably defeated Napolean quicker than the build time
If you want museum quality get an old Pocher kit of a 1920's-30's car, usually a few on Ebay. I personally wouldn't get their new stuff, does nothing for me.

"Good ole DeAgostini (usually them)"
Do you remember when they done the Subaru WRX many years ago.... I got the lot... and had to wait several weeks for parts that were faulty... eventually built, took it out for a test drive and within 5 mins the motor blew up!
Went to London (their head office at the time) with the car and got all my money back, and a little extra too.
Would NEVER buy anything from such a crap company ever again. |

"Use some of it to buy a new phone!! (Apparently they don't like being dunked in tea) 
You tried to eat your phone?"
You never absent mindedly reach for a biscuit whilst watching the telly and accidentally grab your phone and before know it your chomping on a soggy Samsung?... No?... Just me then?... |

Can I change mine? I want cottage by the sea with a big bath, a hot man and lots of fizz please.
Chocolate would be good but I'll need someone to pop by and cook then bugger off again as I shall spend the time naked or in a white fluffy towel (and in numerous positions with said hot guy)
Thankyou  |

I would donate mine to the resistance.
I figure with Han gone, Leia highly unlikely to figure again and the first order gathering momentum the rebels are gonna need all the help they can get.
Then again I'd probably just spunk it all on a massive piss up orgy for my friends list |

Sorry didn't see this one, but it did remind me of the Millennium Falcon that would cost in excess of 800 to build, wonder if anyone is still doing that one. |

Assuming the publishers actually bother after instalment 3. When did any of us last see anything other than a "part one" in Smiths? |
