Dunno, the previous version of the MF is selling on ebay for £1,200. What will an iphone sell for in 5 years?

Was looking at this fully built up at the lego store in Disney Springs last week and it doesn't look particularly impressive at all imo
I've just seen it in the Milton Keynes store and I thought completely the opposite, it's huge and packed with loads of detail.
Pre-release sold out fast this morning! There was a feeding frenzy.
Pre-release? - where was this?- I thought had to wait until October1st frown

Like this, any ideas of price?
$399 for the WiFi/4G version, which is the only one which makes sense.

Want!!! But I know I won't use it.

These are hand made, single craftsman, very nice worksmanship, also suggest that you have a look at their other products.

Currently using my grandfathers wallet that he bought in 1946 but I couldnt resist this wallet.

Thanks, it really does look good and if you're lucky it might last as long as your grandfathers!

Genuinely for the price and piece # I expected larger and more detail ... personally think the death star is way better value than this

Talk of hand made wallets few friends have some of this guys stuff: - https://www.codyjepson.com/ it's very good.

Nice X factor style back story to it as well, young lad got to be friends with old traditional leather worker who lived near by (Totnes), he was upset trade was dying / no one to pass skills on to, lad was interested old boy trained him up in traditional methods and he's carrying them on.

I suppose that we are in the wrong thread, these hand made leather wallets are not frivolous but a long term purchase, dman nice though, quality product that says as much about the buyer as the maker.

True, unless you buy two as then at least one will be frivolous. thumbup

how do people have these already when they aren't released until October? Does that mean they are all sold out, and "normal" people won't be able to get them?
