Cool. Thanks.

Simply amazing.

If it wasn't for the few new kits there, this looks like a time machine turned back the clock to the late 70's... nice!

I like the Dauntless with the Sears price tag of 1.99 on it!

Didn't see any wood kits there.

Nice,I know I built some of those Otaki kits in the 80's

If you are like me every one of those was purchased with the intention of building them!!!! 

My wife would not have been happy with me that day! I really love old kits especially if they are going for a good deal ; )

Looks like somebody's container FINALLY cleared Hong Kong...or Dubai...or Newark....

Ha!

Wow, I am almost tempted to take a long day trip just to see these in person, but it's just a little to far. Your pics are the next best thing, though. Thanks for that.

Wow! I haven't seen a stash of Frog kits like that in forever!

I hope the prices were affordable.

Model building is getting pricey.

      I have the Beech Staggerwing from two mfgrs. One I got way back in the late seventies, Don't remember maker, but it was designed for both Motorization and a scale model as well. Just swap the interior and engine space modules. The other was the Short Run A.M.T. Model from the early Nineties? Okay model but lacking detail. Both are supposed to be 1/48. They just barely make it!

         Hey remember, Styrene is linked to the barrel Price of refined Crude oil! All by-products are higher in price and probably remain so. A Carboy, 5 to 800 lbs of Styrene, Virgin(No Color) Pellets for Molding has doubled in the last year. from 1,200 bucks for one to almost 8,400 bucks for the same thing. Tool making ( Because of Computers and Electronic guided machines,)is now higher by a factor of.15% of the total price. So they pass that on to us. BUT, and think about this, We get hours of enjoyment and it is still cheaper than a Dinner and Movie at today's prices. 

Absolutely awesome, thanks for the pics.

Neat. I'll have to check them out when I'm over on that side of town. Last time I set foot in a physical building over there was when Old Guard (16 & Van ***) was still around... so yeah... it's been awhile.

...(16 & Van ***) was still around... 

Ah, Van

D-Y-K-E, OK.

With the nannyware, I guess we could never print the name of the comedic actor who had his own sitcom in the 60s, either.

Sigh...

Glad you were able to outsmart the nanny-bot censorship.

It's just amusing.  No finesse to the programming, it's all or nothing.  You can't say the name of a national art supply chain, either, without getting asterisked out, unless you call it "Richard Blick".

That's alright.

What  about the street names that end in Van D**Ke? Or begin with it?

I got censored by the nanny bot the other day for saying that I had gotten a sudden burst of modelling meaujeau.  It didn't like the word when it was spelled correctly, and I had no idea that word was even considered offesive.  LOL

Yessir Gentlemen!

 It is even affecting Business.Our Secretary refuses to put the words spoken in the meetings if she thinks it's offensive to the Stockholders.So we get J**(&^T instead what the word was. This is B*))S#$T!!
