Looks sweet but the price is too high for me.  :-\

That is less than $2 each for the "weird" caps even if the base board was worth nothing.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

And who is gonna pay for the weird caps? I have a listing for my Grass Valley editor (I want to sell or trade off the weird caps) and nobody wants to offer.

Many of these things are nice to look at but impossible to sell. And having just paid shipping for a Grass Valley monster, I'm not falling over myself to buy a second monster (especially since the casing isn't close to GH144) so probably the market size for this kind of crazy thing has decreased by 10-25%.  :p
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
