Surprised noone mentioned this but DMs new 48 Chevys price is $149
Thats not even an LE and PS models were always a little cheaper! I assume this is the sign of things to come, price increases on our cars. So be it I suppose 🙁

Yes, prices have gone up a bit. I think we expected that.
Existing PS members prices though have held at $129.00. That is what I'll be paying.

Factor in shipping and tax and you're pushing $175.

No, 149.00 plus shipping is $158.00

I was told my price would be $121.50 because I was a long time PS member. It depends on when you joined what price level you would be at. Not surprised prices went up - I think we were all expecting that. I can absorb a $20 increase but will be more careful about which models I order now vs. the past.

Doug: He said shipping and TAXES. Some of us have to pay tax too.

Remember the Carly Simon song, "Anticipation"? I thought about it this morning when
I was moving a couple of cars around on my shelves, to make room for the NEW '48 Chevy due to arrive in a couple of weeks...per DM on Monday.
I actually got a little tickle in my stomach and a smile on my face as I thought about its pending arrival. It has been soooooooo long since a DM 1.24 has entered my parking lot. I realized, I'M EXCITED!
I really do hope this is a positive sign that DM is getting back on track, because I love getting those little cars!!!
Hmmm...and now that I have that song in my head, I think I'm going to dig out my 45rpm records and turn table for a little trip back to a time when the world really was a simpler place.

Thanks George.
Now it's stuck in my head too. Doesn't help that Carly is my favorite female vocalist, either.
