I'll definitely be getting one of those, but only when it's actually out, and I won't be paying £50 for it either.

Strange how the price of models has jumped up.
When the XR3 came out it was £25, then they release the RS1600i, the same model with a few changes and it is £35, why the extra £10.
Also all the MK2 Rally Escorts were £25, now all new ones are £50.
Can only see the prices keep rising now.
Collecting is getting expensive these days

Modelzone shops used to be really good but these days they are very poor.
Ebay and some online sellers are the best these days

Best place to get any models very cheap is from model toy collectors fairs.

I used to go to these all the time years back and the savings where HUGE over ebay and model shops.
