Seems like every other day, I get an e-mail from Squadron announcing a new "Sale!"

It's like the old standing joke we have in the family:  "Look, there's a sale at Kohl's!"

 

In the 1990s, Squadron used to run the "Bruce Beamish 24 hour email special" that offered deep discounts on a couple of good kits. They warned the special would end early if someone posted a message alerting anyone on the main modeling "forum" of the day, rec.models.scale.

So to circumvent this, we used the line from a long distance service commercial, "Weaddababyeetzaboy!", but they caught on to that thinly veiled rouse and even used it once or twice to alert everyone to a hot item being sold cheaply.

I did a quick search and the last BB special was 2001.

Lol! Years ago we had a very big furniture store in Miami called Levitz and just about every other month they had the "Once in a Lifetime Sale" . Then they went to the "Sale of the Century" a few times a year!

Meh... Squadron has a sale as well - up to 85% on over 2800 items. 

 

 

 
Yeah, but most of it will be out of stock.
 

That's very true And the 85% off items are just a few. 

Just saw the SB sale and they have some nice Dragon armor with deep discounts. I would have nabbed the 505 group KT but just got one from Takom with a full interior.

I hope it is OK to post this, but I got an email from Sprue Brothers, and they are having a 50% off sale on selected kits and accessories.  Took a quick look, and there are interesting kits from Dragon and Italeri, as well as some Bronco workable tracks.

Thought some folks might be interested.

 

Thanks for posting, I’ll check out what hey have.
