Dave J Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I just had this idea after seeing a post that Matt had up on his Facebook page.... All Modellers love super discounts and deals on everything model related! So..what have you seen and where is it??? Please keep it LSM related, Tools and Books are welcome! The deal that Matt posted up...

nmayhew Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I guess this thread will always be continent specific No way any of these crazy cheap USA prices are EVER going to apply in Blighty (grrrr) As an aside, is that kit any good?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I guess this thread will always be continent specific As an aside, is that kit any good?? Indeed! Offending posts will be deleted!

nmayhew Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ok, to clarify, I am referring to sale prices The Arado has been available on eBay consistently for less than £20 for well over a year; I haven't seen a 219 for £25 but then i haven't been looking as I already have one - I agree that it is consistently available mid 30s and only going one way... The common denominator is Revell: great value kits even at full retail here in Europe, and tend to get cheaper with time. Modelzone has just gone into administration btw - and they were the only shop I saw with any real deals to compare with deals offered in US, or with far eastern prices in general Back on track, I have just had a Tamiya Spit IXc delivered airmail for £71 from Seal Model. Deal with confidence, and make sure you ask them to 'help out' with the customs declaration value It does make me feel a little insulted when UK retailers - Hannants! - list this at.... ...£140!!!

nmayhew Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 indeed and remember that bricks and mortar is the future of the hobby and pretty soon all the internet forums will fizzle out, and i'll be writing this post with pen and paper, then trot off to the post box... ...at least according to some 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Today (6/28) Squadron's selling 1/32 Hasegawa Fw 190A-8s for $36... Also for those US-based, next week is the 4th. Which always means sales of some form or another. Sickeningly cheap!! Though I have pledged no 190 buying until Zoukei-mura's kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Of course we over in the UK should not neglect the smaller online seller also. A case in point is our very own Grant at ArrowWolf. One of the best value kits i have seen in a very long time at a bargain price of 27.50 right here............ http://www.arrow-wolf.com/product/trumpeter-mikoyan-gurevich-mig-3/ Martin. Thank you Martin .. appreciate your support. All of my kits are well below RRP and I intend to keep them like that but within reason as I have get something out of it. Oh course, there'll always be an exception but if there is .. call me and we see what we can do. Always remember too that LSM Members receive a discount on purchases over £50.00. The shop Nick has found is marvellous but you are reliant on their help with customs declarations etc which if, Duty were paid, would bring their prices up to my level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHFantastic Plastic Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi - at Yeovilton this Saturday you will find I have the Fly Focke Achgelis, Trumpeter Ju 87A, Special Hobby Bristol M1 all at 20% off (a bargain, but I agree not ludicrously cheap) and various Wingnut kits at sensible prices.

"too good a price to miss" was true. Never received and never managed to have any communication with Boystown Models apart from a solitary email to to say it would be sent over the weekend, some 4 weeks ago. Ended up having to get my money back through paypal. Word of warning to others, avoid this company at all costs. Several other people have had exactly the same problems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
