Read the fine print

So this popped up randomly when cruising eBay for militaria.

Cool says I, that’s kind of awesome in a nerdy sort of way. A full size replica of Luke’s hover speeder.
Read the description however and apparently it’s only 12 inches long…

I remember reading somewhere that there was a scam going on in the US where the actual size was buried in the fine print and people were paying big dol.ars for stuff only to be sent miniatures.
