WOW!! My lucky day... I think ^_^
Sooo yea today at work (HobbyTownUSA) a customer came in with this big cardboard box. He came up to me and asked if we accept donations. At first I told him no we do not... but out of curiosity I asked him what it was he was trying to unload on someone haha. He opens the box and in it are a bunch of plastic models, ships, planes, and a tanker truck. He said some of them are 20 - 30 years old. I am not to sure if thats correct... but I didnt think twice about it haha... I said OH SURE I CAN TAKE THOSE! He wanted to donate them to a school or something, and I told him truthfully, giving these kits to school kids would be depressing haha cuz they would eb ruined. So I made a deal with him. I would take the models and get replacements from my store. So everyone wins, he donates to some school childeren, I get some collectible kits, and some kids get soem free models to enjoy building. I even got my boss at work to donate the glue and other basic tools to get them started... Ok Ok so here are soem pics. All of them but 2 are unbuilt/painted/ + come with original instructions decals etc etc
here we go...
So yea thats what I brought home.... There was some old battle star galactica model in the bunch also, but die to this causing a comotion at work I gave it toone of my co-workers to shut her up. Go figure, no one in the whole place could careless about modeling until someone comes in offering some cool stuff.
Anyways, let me know what yall think about the kits... I think i want to build the assault glider! I seen a special on the History Channel so im really diggin it.
