After looking at items you shopped, I did a careful inventory of what I have and then I was on E-bay all night bidding on kits.  As a result of it, now I am a proud owner of three 1/35 Dragon M4A3E8, five M-46 and five M26 pershing kits.  I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I  fianally  did my inventory and I guess buying 2 to 3 kits per month for last 3 years did make my bank account suffer a little. 
Now all I have to do is stop shopping and start building those kits.

No, it doesn't have a website, and the sales period had run out...

But soon, many sites/stores will surely offer X-mas and New Year sales... don't worry!

Thanks for more kind comments since my previous reply.

Today is the last day of the Shock Sales event, so I go shopping again,
I have no Thai Baht left, but I still have 80 Euro and I exchanged it for 3,880.- Baht.
With that amount, I bought 14 more kits, 2 of which in duplication with my first day's
purchase. But at this price (e.g., Dragon's Panther A Early Type for $13.30), one is not enough.

Armors 1:35

14. Airfix's Astronaut Figures 1:72 160.- -70% -------- 48.-

Total cost today = 3,949.- Baht ($ 96)
Total cost 3 days = 23,517.- Baht ($565)
Total kits bought 3 days = 69
Total books boughts 3 days = 11
Total cash left = 131 Baht ($3.20)

I also reserved 4 kits - to be taken and paid for tomorrow - at today's special price (30% off). These are :
1. Revell's Kubelwagen 1:9 5,800.- -30% -------- 4,060.-

4. Dragon's US troops Omaha Beach (6 figures) 380.- -30% -------- 266.-

Tomorrow is my pay day, so there's no problem for reserved kits. I'll go get'em!
It's been such a happy three-day shopping spree! A very enjoyable one! ;-)

Will I have the place to keep them all once built? Good question, but I can't think of the answer yet....
