We are trying to make our products available for everyone. We were the first to offer a 10 months payment plan and early buy in incentives.
Now it looks like others are following our lead. In my opinion that is good for the hobby and will allow more collectors to spread around their hard earned cash.
Payment plans are always helpful, not only on the more expensive large scale stuff, but also on the more affordable stuff when money is tight or too many things come at once. I may just make use of it soon
