Only to open the box and find the horrid model of the Nautilus that Aurora put out before. Man, what a ripoff.

    Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.

          Well, maybe it's like finding a three-legged Buffalo nickel... It might be worth something to a collector.
          I see one on worth point, of course they don't tell you how much it sold for... There's another one on eBay for $75 I don't know what you paid for yours but at least you might get your money back.

              When I was but a lad, a Seaview kit was 99 cents.

                          That's how you go about a Seawolf:

                              I was 6. It’s long gone.
