I remember when some friends ordered the ZX-81 kit (Although I don't
remember if it had that designation). I think they had ordered 10 kits at
$99 each. They planned an assembly party.
The order arrived on a Friday so they all decided to crank up the assembly
line that night after dinner.
Finally the fateful moment arrived and they opened the box only to
discover a note in the box that they were out of kits and please accept
the assembled versions as substitutions.
Sorta killed the evening!

I never saw that in a kit form...
Oh, really? That must mean that a kit is quite RARE, no? How much would
you pay for an UNASSEMBLED ZX81 KIT (L@@K, RARE!)? (I have an extra.)
The ZX81 was offered as both a kit and as assembled, but only the kit was
offered for the low low price of $99.
