Well, I think I am getting Andy’s Takom Tiger box and the Das Werk Vomag with 88mm gun, so that’s good.

I assume the question is model related, so I my answer would be - it didn’t.

But my wife did buy me a forty gun safe yesterday. I suppose given the cost of some of the kits I’ve purchased lately, I could use it to store some of them.

I didn’t do any store-related shopping, but I did pick up a truck kit from Fleabay and another from a friend! Other than that I got some replacement wiper blades for the car… (Exciting, I know!)

This sounds like a question my wife’s lawyer would ask, so I respectfully will not answer.
Thank you

Wouldn’t know; stayed as far away from shopping centers as possible. Besides, family always gets gift cards for Christmas. No giessing, no fuss, no muss.

Thank you, I appreciate the stories and comments.

My shopping…

Cyber-hobby.com had excellent prices on kits, Meng kits were prices very well, a 10% discount and free shipping to the USA IF one purchased $200 plus. I’m can’t pass this one up…

Meng kits were at a fabulous price, selling quickly and so picked what I wanted from stock.

  1. Two of four in my cart sold out before my order processed. Tried again.

  2. My two replacement picks, had both sold out before I could re-submit.

  3. My two replacements for the two replacements, one sold out before the resubmitted order processed.

  4. The order processed but was under $200,

  5. Cyber-hobby was very kind an honored free surface shipping. Kudos to Frankie & Cyber-hobby

Edit - later received an email from Cyber-hobby asking for replacement choice for the replacement of replacement replacement. I wonder if the 4th try will be the charm

After being told on no uncertain terms to purchase a Nintendo game as a birthday present, I purchased a Nintendo game as a birthday present.

I considered purchasing a few different things for myself from Andy’s Hobby Headquarters but they all failed the “Would you rather have something else at the same price?” test. Other than that, I did not see any decent sales, partly because I was away from the hobby a long time and no longer know where to look for deals.
