Good luck to anyone with the cash to burn and the stamina to fight off all the spend-crazy designer vinyl collectors for this one.... :(

Review of the SDCC Exclusive "Distressed" edition (what's that mean? A different look to his eyes, perhaps?) with lots of pics courtesy of CollectionDX:

V.I.N.CENT (SDCC 2009 Distressed Edition) | CollectionDX

Thing cost $130. While its certainly beautiful, it seems to be more of a maquette done in vinyl rather than resin. No moving parts whatsoever. The 'normal' edition will be sold later for... $149!

I think I'll just get myself an old MPC kit and build it instead....

[Gorn Captain]

Yep.
Too expensive....

[starsky]

anybody ever get one?

[johnmiic]

I think the model kit site Culttvman has vintage Vincent model kits at a fraction of the price. If you don't see it in his hobbyshop area email him and ask him if he has any left in stock.

[AcroRay]

Yeah. The kit has extra arms, transparent parts, chrome, - pretty much loaded with all the options the movie one did. Much nicer final product than this vinyl.
