That price is below the mean eBay price a bit, which is $188. The highest price was $471. I cannot imagine ever paying that much for any kit.

I gave away one at a Christmas to a friend down on his luck — home flooded twice in 2 years. I still have one boxed. And one that needs final assembly/painting.

I should be good until the re-release.
