Hey Mike,
Thanks for thinking about me, but I don't mind. You can hijack my thread anytime.
I can see both sides. I suspect there have been times when a kit being made public has caused the prices to spike. But I believe this is usually just temporary. In my experience they eventually come back down. Also, as Wombat pointed out, a lot of these kits have special value in and of themselves totally apart from the studio scale building community.
As for sharing info, I am glad it is more open than it has ever been, but I also share Phil's frustration. I know there have been times over the years where people of put out requests for help on a particular item that you know others in the community know the answer to, but no one responds. I'm sure people have their reasons, and I want to respect that, but it can be frustrating.
I want to echo too my thanks to Phil for all the hard work he has put into iding parts and how much he has been willing to help the rest of us. Thanks Phil!
Well, that's my 1 1/2 cents worth. Now, if I could only find some time to work on the G again.
