That's a bit harsh, the molds need a little work to correct the known errors that have been there since day one. Tribute may well have addressed the issues by now on current kits, is that the case ? ...

Its known as a "Finders Fee". Ask them to quote your name when they order a kit and Tribute should send you a cheque for £100. I know A Plan insurance offer this deal to existing customers.
