But here in the US where it was $99 (though I paid $150 on second hand market) it was a good deal, or at the very least a decent value. Thousands would pay $40 for that replica alone if it were for sale.
Yeah, I see what you mean.

Personally I like the replica, it's got some nice detail on it with all the writing and little bolts and the movement is nice on it.
One one hand (no pun intended) the full one would've been nice but realistically on the other, the half one might actually have been a better choice for me personally, not only for the cost which would've probably been eye-watering to import it but also for space, heh, I genuinely have no idea where I could've fitted a full-size arm.
