It was for this build your own model of The Mallard. Introductory offer of only 50p for the first edition of the magazine/initial bits of the model. However...... Each subsequent edition costs £7.99. Maybe not too bad if there were, say, 10 editions, but there are, wait for it, 130! So the whole thing would cost £1038.70

Still, on a positive side, if you get the first edition for 50p, then it'll only cost £1031.21

I know that this sort of thing has gone on for years, and no-one is forcing anyone else to buy it, but what happens if someone gets their kid the first edition and doesn't realise.....
