  if you scooched up real close to the telly you would have seen the fine print at the bottom of the ad, final price is $1068! you’d be better off spending half that at a local hobby shop and getting advice from the guys behind the counter.
  
  it’s not a total write off though, each issue is like $15 or so. so think about it, $15 for a truck body, $15 for a tx or rx, etc. and if you wanted to be a real prick you could have bought 4 copies of issue 1 (introductory price $2.99) and had yourself a set of tyres, rims and inserts for $12!
