Yeah, I got that e-mail too.   Gave me a great opportunity to binge on some kits I've otherwise would have passed on:

  • Kittyhawk Gripen
  • Trumpeter P-40B
  • Eduard I-16 Profi
  • Eduard FW-190D Profi
  • Trumpeter Vampire
  • Tamiya Storch

Those plus a ton of PE, Brassin resin, and masks.  I had made a deal with the wife that I would save for these sales this week but then behave (Read: sneak in) the rest of the year.

Just a heads up guys. Squadron's running a 50% off an order over $500 or more until 3PM CST today. A lot of stuff is already out of stock. But at least I finally got a Tamiya 1/32 Phantom and 1/.48 Betty. Now I have to figure out how to explain the huge boxPropeller

Even with Squadron's so called discounts, Scale Hobbyist's normal prices are about the same or very close to Squadron's. I don't deal with SBros anymore due to a very poor customer service incident.

I was holding out for Squadron as well. Like you DiscoStu I went ahead and placed my Squadron order during the 28% off sell.

Unfortunately Squadron doesn't have the type of stuff I'm after. Now if only Ebay or Ultracast.ca would off Black Friday savings...

Holding out for black friday?
Posted by DiscoStu on Thursday, November 21, 2013 3:13 PM

3 questions: 

  1. Anyone know of any upcoming black Friday deals? (Looking at you Squadron/Sprue........)
  2. Anyone know of any new releases that may hit in time for Friday?  I'm eying the Kittyhawk Voodoo but have yet to see a release date.
  3. What are you loading into your cart this week?

I'll admit I already got suckered into Squadron's 48hr 28% off "pre-black friday" sale and snagged an Airfix Lancaster and Hasegawa Draken but I held short in loading up.  The past two years Squadron has had some pretty good black Friday deals (Though last years' wasn't as good as the year prior)  So after I completed my purchase I started loading up the cart with items I'll want come next Friday.  I threw in some accessories I wanted plus some kits I've never built before.  Now I just and wait for a deal that I hope comes.

Anyone else doing the same?
