I would think the price ought to, but doesn't necessarily, depend, on how detailed the textures for the prop is. So many props have very simplified textures so you can never get in close without the set looking like plastic. The Citadel from Beyond Bent was pricey because it has very hi-res textures, and lots and lots of usable surfaces, props and structures. MnD sets are often somewhat simple in modeling--- not always, look at the Tourelle--but the textures are extremely high quality and yet they are very reasonably priced. This is a specific niche product-- though one I would be interested in. I don't know if lower pricing would help you move it. It might. The Citadel, a Huge Set was $40. Fantasia one of the latest MnD/Marfono creations is on sale for $6 and it is rather elaborate. I've bought all but one of the MnD creations. Almost immediately. I bought the Citadel because I happened to have the money on me. The choice between $6--$10 and $40 is profound. But it's almost as much between $10 and $25. Just trying to let you know what one consumer is thinking. I'd buy it without much hesitation at $10 or less, I'd really have to think hard at more than that. Because of the limited use. Emily
