Angry Why Is Herpa Too Expensive?

Why is Herpa too expensive?I don't believe that they spend $500,000 each plane! Here's what each plane needs:metal,paint,and plastic gears but I don't believe that all cost $500,000!Are there other things that affect the price?

Expensive German labor?

Cover up?

The owner own a Ferrari, His wife Mercedes 600 SEL sedan, His son Porsche 911 and daughter BMW 750il?
A $500,000 house in German?

The real question is why they continue to release models with the silly toy landing gear. I just received the KLM/NW DC-10 and, compared to SJ, Big Bird and Herpa NG, it is an absolute joke - which is a shame because this livery was an excellent choice for a club model.

Talking Kabayan

Tama ka kabayan.Napakamahal ng mga Herpa models pero napakarami pa rin nilang pagkakamali!At yung kanilang landing gear nakakainis!Sana mabasa to ng Herpa para naman malaman nila kung ano ang mali sa kanila.
