if people respected other people for what they do instead of trying to find ways to capitalize on it for their own selfish reasons then by all means parts would be plenty and cost effective.
but until those people stop riding on others efforts to make a cheap buck then we all suffer about it. this is the unfortunate damage of what this hobby has become.

This hobby we all share is very special. You are absolutely correct but think about if we could all pitch in and rent a park to display our built toys. Do you realize how much attention that would guadner from TV and reporters. We have the potential to create something that could out live yourself and your kid. We could leave a unique legacy behind to live forever.
