I got it for a discount, and it's quite impressive. There's nothing like it in its price range, and it's not some fragile model. It's all (well, 90%) METAL, baby It weights in at 1 lb. This is in fact made to be handled. The only major con is the plastic cockpit - I would've preferred it all metal with a hinge. My paint on the six circles on the back had a bit of slop, but it's not a major detractor.
On the bright side, the removable panel is a neat surprise and the landing gear is real solid. The satellite dish comes off quite easily and safely if for some reason you fly like Lando.
If you can, wait for sales, but don't feel robbed paying full price for it either.
