Isn't this the model which appeared in Cuussoo (the precursor to IDEAS)?
“What’s that extra B for?”
“That’s a typo”
I wonder why to buy some of them, when the build of many (smaller) models speak for themselves when looking at their pictures
I remember someone had an excellent model of the Serenity several years ago. It was an Ideas project I believe, that although wasn't produced had enough interest for the designer to sell several kits for 350.00/each through a bit of an obscure, car parts related website... It was always out of stock and I had a notification on it, which I actually received one day that it was avail., but then I didn't have 350.00 to spare at the time. Does anyone else remember that project, or am I having another senior moment induced by lack of coffee?
@chrisaw Buy 2 Get 1 Free at Build Better Bricks. Unless there was an extra B there before and it’s been edited, it makes total sense as it is now.

Thank you so much for that, I knew I didn't just dream the whole thing up! Ah, yet still I regret not saving the funds to grab that magnificent thing when I got the Back In Stock notification long ago. I remember wanting the custom Minifigures as well, which were a hefty 85.00 for the lot, I believe. Thanks again, for giving me hope that my inevitable senility may still be some years away.
