What kit have you held off on buying??

The Revell A400 Grizzly looks like a great kit, but the price just won't come down. Maybe on Black Fiday!

The Trumpeter Fw-200C-3. Fifty bucks is just a little bit out of my price range at the moment.

What a great post!

I'm old school, and because of the price, mine would be the 1/72 B-52.  I remember buying it as a kid for $25 (and boy did I have to mow some lawns to pay for that!)!  It's hard to swallow the current prices for the kit.  But hey, one day, I'll find it on sale or NO ONE on evil Bay will see the ONE kit going for $20....With shipping!

That A400 and Fw200 look like beastly kits!!

Wasnt there a boxing of the B-52 that had the X-15 slung underneath one wing? Seems like I had this kit hanging from my ceiling when I was 13 or so for a loooong time. IIRC, I even used the bomb bay to hide money I had earned, lol.

Yeap....had one of those too!  I think it was a "Young Astronauts" series from Monogram.  That one is on my "Youth Wish List" too!

The Academy 1/32 F-18C when it came out. Saved up some Christmas money and gift cards to get my out of pocket down to $20. Worth every penny!

Waiting for a good sale price on the Trumpeter 1/32 A-6 Intruder and the 1/200th Bismark.

As a kid I remember buying the Monogram B-52 for $25, a good kit. Have one in the stash waiting to be built for the Buff group build if I ever get around to it.

Lucky!  Is it one you bought back when, or a new purchase?

Well I got the DML 1/35 Scud TEL and  Tamiya 1/48 Betty on clearance from a local chain hobby store years ago. Both at substantial discounts. And later the Tamiya 1/350 Yamato (original, not the re tool) from a LHS for 20% off before the prices on Tamiya kits jumped up a couple years back. As well as a couple of 1/350 IJN Cruisers at real good prices for those- one 50% off, and the other, well, if I did not know the seller persoanlly it would come close to quaifying for "receiving stolen property" under the California Penal Code ;-) Now I have held off on a couple of Dragon AFV its because I have yet to get the deal on those that will make me snap them up. And then there is the re issue of the Revell 1/48 Apollo Lunar Space Craft that I have been eyeballing...

call me crazy, but I'd love to find a 1/32 b-36.

"and the other, well, if I did not know the seller persoanlly it would come close to quaifying for "receiving stolen property" under the California Penal Code"

Sir, you are considered armed and dangerous! Do exactly as we say or we will drop you!  Place your right arm out of the car window and open the driver's door from the outside!  Now exit the vehicle with you back to us and take three steps to your left with your hands behind your head!  . . .

Sorry, as I know the seller and background of said kit, it does not qualify for 496 PC... but yes I am armed and dangerous,,, for, as my favorite fictional detective would say, the good  people of the County of Los Angeles,,,

Viejo, you are crazy. My 1/48 B-1 is big enough... a 1/32 B-36 would be a monstrosity

Its the Tamiya Betty for me. Just can't convince myself to spend $60+ on it. Almost won one a few weeks back but got outbid. I'll just make do with the 1/72 Hasegawa kit for now.

None

Held off buying those old B-52s last year even at 5 dollars each due to " just where I would put it.?" .

...and still haven't purchased one.

I think I would................been kinda sorry I passed up on buying...........

I hear ya.  There are a couple of instances I look back on and cry about.  So my new rule is, GET IT NOW!  Ask for forgiveness later!

Ya know Eagle, had I know you had a similar thread I would have just posted there!! Anywho, still some good stories coming in.

No worries Jester.  I'm enjoying your thread too.  I love hearing stories of good deals!  Make the heart warm!

Eagle90

Same here! I really wish the new stash additions and workspace threads were stickied though!!

Sounds like a good idea.

Wonder if it is possible with the FSM software? 

I'm sure it is. It seems that Tim has even mentioned sticky threads that had been stickied in other forums, but I dont see them.

Well, I was at my LHS this past Friday and spotted the JUST RELEASED Revell 2010 Chevy Camaro police car.....hoping I get it for Christmas.

No it wasn't bought when I got the first one but it's been in the stash for a good number of years. Keep meaning to start on it because she is a beauty but other kits just get in the way.

I've held off on buying a kit only to finally get if for a decent price, but then load up on a/m and end up spending waayyy too much anyway
