I know you mean well, but 10%? Not that big a whoop. On ebay I can get kits for up to 75% off. I know that sale applies to all I'm sure. Greatmodels is usually 20-25% off kits, not including various sales. Sorry, I don't mean to be negative.

Yup 10% is no big deal but there may be some that just like ordering from there.  And when you factor in that GMW shipping policy and in stock notification "applies a negative vacuum as to draw liquid though a straw".  Sprue Bros tells you up front how many are in stock so you won't be ordering something that may not be there and have your order split and buy shipping charges twice.  And SB usually ships in a day if not same day.  The 10% just makes it a little sweeter.

10% wouldn't be that big of a deal if it were only off retail. But Sprue Bros. prices are already discounted well below MSRP. So, 10% makes it an even better deal. Don't get me started on Great Models. They are the antipathy of customer service.

I just ordered 2 jars of Mig Pigments and the new AFV Club Stryker, and it was marginally less than Greatmodels. Given my horrid luck with GM, I generally will pay a couple bucks extra to go elsewhere.

This is my first order with Sprue Brothers, if all goes well they will be added to my list of preferred venders. Just a warning, the discount is only applied to orders over $40, I didn't read the fine print when I first went to check out with the Stryker (which is still .10 cheaper than GM)....

I just want to know who bought all the Russian Earth pigment so I won't have it for the Kursk GB.  Angry [:(!]

As if I needed another excuse to shop at Spruebrothers.  I have spent a lot of money at their online store and also at the Indy IPMS show in March (sure hope they come back next year).   As has already been noted, their prices are below the MSRP so the extra 10% off is just icing on the sell.  That and their always fast and reliable shipping make them one of my favorite online sellers.  I just wish they would carry some of the Accurate Armour line.

Gotta love the service. I ordered at 4:30 PM on Friday and it ships at 10:30 AM on Monday.  2 "business" hours later.

I ordered yesterday and it is already enroute today. That is top notch in my book.....
