Blade Helicopters - What happend or am I stupid?

[Varelco]

In a nutshell you are not being stupid mate, the pro series was a flop.

The rest of their range doesn't seem to be affected.

According to this thread...

700X price?? - HeliFreak

The Blade 700X was actually more expensive than the Goblin 700, when it was released.

Yeah - bare bones kit was stupidly priced. When I bought my 700X, I paid £75 less than the kit price, for the entire combo!

£419 for a 360CFX? Just paid £275 for a 450 Dominator. I think I'll give it a miss thank you.

Are you going to use the 3GX?

[mahbouni]

The 450X was £320 so £100 more for longer boom and blades does seem a quite a big price increase. Will have to wait and see it after it's released before making judgement.

Yup 5.0

[mahbouni]

Another thing to consider is HH is an American company and probably prices it's products in US$. Last year £1 got you about $1.70 but now it's like $1.50. Once they set a price of a product in a foreign country they usually stick to it but new products are likely to be priced according to current and expected future exchange rates.

£419 is just the RRP. The RRP for that £275 Dominator is £429 - £10 more than the 360CFX! That said, £275 is a bargain, although many would probably swap out the 3GX.

It's just the rrp yes, but it is releasing in a time where you can get the dominator a lot cheaper. They should have adjusted the rrp based on that imo. When the Dom released there weren't as many 360mm helis, and the ones that were there were probably a lot more expensive. Not so with the blade product, what does it bring to the table over the competition? Price? No. Specs? I doubt it. Brand name? No. Hmm

[mahbouni]

How do 450X part prices compare to those of the 450L? Also which one crashes better. These things need to be considered too
