I recently bought Gneisenau for 900SEK ≈850€ which i was very happy with. But when looking at other ship designs to buy their all so Expensive. For example USS Arizona of a lower piece count than Gneisenau costs 2000kr which is over double Gneisenau at a lower piece count. Is this some popularity thing or why is it so dramatically cheaper than the other ships?

The only other 2 ships i have is the wows tirpitz and bismarck which i got for my birthday years ago probaly at a very low price

I recently Acquired a second hand IJN akagi set off of someone due to an unexpected circumstance and I found that the entire First bag and First booklet wasn’t in the box and there’s no way to get it back… I did send an email to the Cobi replacement parts website email about being able to purchase the first bag as replacement parts or what could be done so I can actually build the set wondering if anyone has had experiences similar to this?
