Looks like eHobbies, sold through Amazon.com, took my advice and slashed the UMX Beast price to $130 including shipping. That's closer to living in the real world, but all Horizon UM(X)s could use a 50% price cut to align them with their true relative value. There loads of gorgeous high end full size pre-builts coming out of China for $100 or less. Extremely capable 30" class 3D foamies sell for $25-45, pre-guts. If the UMX Beast came down to $80-$100as a BNF, I could recommend it.

I'll have a full head to head with the 17" TechOne Christen Eagle bipe ($115 "BNF" equipped) published soon, hopefully next week.
