                        Good deal on Tamiya kits - REVISED
                        Posted by wipw on Friday, April 23, 2004 10:53 AM
                        Model Expo is having a sale through next Wednesday. Their Tamiya stock is on sale for about 50% off retail.

                        Here's the link:

                        http://www.modelexpo-online.com/ema080/

                        A lot of their quantities are pretty limited.

                        I've ordered from them quite a few times. Mostly model ship stuff. I've had very little trouble. Watch the # in stock of the item. I ordered a kit once that was down to the last few and didn't get it. They never debited my credit card, so there was no problem there. Shipping is by UPS ground, so takes about a week or so to get to me. They send (e-mail) you a UPS tracking number so you can watch it's progress. You can either order online or call them.

                        Note that I did not intend for this to be an advertisment for Model Expo. I was just passing along a good deal I found.

                        I took a look at the site, and suffice to say, they have a VERY limited amount of items as far as plastic kits other than ships go.

                        Make sure you do a search on Tiger or Panther or whatever you're looking for rather than Tamiya or hit the Plastic Models link. Their search engine is kind of funkey!

                        Bill, you're evil. I may have to break open the wallet to buy some kits I don't need.

                        What are you ordering Bill? I'm thinking of getting the Abrams, should have a long time ago. There were two other kits I'm pondering.

                        So i guess no one is mad that i took the last 1/24 Enzo, the last BMW Williams F1 and a bunch of wingy things last Friday? Big Smile [:D]
                        i didn't think any of you would care.

                        now, i wonder what armor is left?
                        i hope 3 days was enough time for you all to get what you wanted . . .
                        Evil [}:)]Smile [:)]

                        NOT!

                        I'm sure they have them all. I'm good also. Wink [;)] Don't know if I'll get anything now, there has suddenly become more wish kits than I care for.

                        Well, I called them yesterday and got the Tiger I Initial on order, but they told me that since the computer was only showing one copy in stock, they couldn't guarantee I'd get it. Right after I got off the phone with them, it went to "Out of Stock" on the site. But I'm still not showing an order status on it for me. So, did I get it or not?? Time will tell! I hope all of you got what you wanted!

                        Take care, all.

                        I just checked out their site (again). It looks like they've pulled most of the stuff they are out of stock off of the site, but it also looks like they've gotten a small shipment in. Some of the kits they were showing as being out of stock earlier in the week are now showing as being in stock. (Usually only 1-3 copies!) Sale goes off at midnight tonight EDT.

                        Banged Head [banghead] Man I blew it. I saw something today that either I missed yesterday or they added it. Anyway, since i ordered yesterday, I don't feel like paying additional postage, so I'm going to let it go.

                        Eric, give them a call at their 800 number. Maybe they can still get it in the other shipment!

                        Sorry, just looked at my watch. I think they close at 3, your time.

                        Hey guys.

                        I have been trying to email them to suss the cost of shipping to Australia, but I can't get an email link to work. (Just love these sites that don't list an e-mail address but just have a 'click here' link.) Does anyone know their email address? (P.S. not after the DW he, he)

                        *******UPDATE*******

                        Model Expo has extended their Tamiya sale until next Wednesday (May 5th). It looks like kits are coming in and going out (mostly out) pretty fast. Go to their site and click on the link that says This Weeks Specials, or the reduced pricing doesn't show up.

                        www.modelexpoinc.com

                        Good luck getting what you want this week!

                        Sorry, Ed. It's my lot in life to bring missery of one form or another to all those with whom I come in contact. Thank goodness for the internet. It is so much easier to meet my quota!!
