Preassembled Saturn V Models

I actually got served up an ad that I thought was worth sharing. $47 Saturn V model:

Huh? Looks like a Lego Saturn V or something. But it doesn’t mention Lego at all from what I saw.

@Probus That's a LEGO Saturn V, but it looks like they're selling it preassembled, maybe.

I'm not sure it's a LEGO one.  It's probably a straight-up ripoff of one of the offbrand block companies.  It also says 445 pieces.  The LEGO Saturn V made a big deal out of the fact that they made it with 1969 parts.

This screams scam.  If you go through the pictures, they have a LEGO instruction manual in one, but a box with the brand name Revell next to a clearly not-lego Saturn V model in another.

$47.99, discounted from $159.99. HA! As my boss would say: "Tell me how big of a discount you'd like and I'll tell you the cost."

Asks for all the payment info before specifying shipping costs? Nah, no thanks.

The model aside, the site itself reeks of scam.

Yeah, their website looks like they've stitched together parts that they've lifted (very badly) from other sites. Which doesn't inspire confidence.

Also check out the product advert "a 1m high model" (which is about correct) and then, two paragraphs down, their product dimensions are  543cm by 8.4cm by 8.4cm.

This looks approximately as real as a three pound note.

They did lift text from other sites.
