Good deal on Tamiya kits - REVISED

Gee, Ausf! You're taking this much better than I thought you would!

Seriously, I'm sorry they canceled your 1/16 King. What a bummer!

Ok someone has to get ausf some help.
Something is seriously wrong with him.
Ausf have you looked at backyardarmors site, the Tigers are not too expensive there. Ofcourse I can only compare with the Danish
pricetag of $1400 for a full option Tiger I

Just to straighten the record....
Cancelled Tiger I....three days after acccepting order...
Cancelled King Tiger....1/16 today
Cancelled King Tiger....1/35 today
and I found myself back again looking, THAT'S when I knew I had a problem.....

That place is the modeling world's equivalent of Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch...'Q:Well why do people shop here? A:because it's so cleeeean......'

Bill, you're killing me, but in a good way. I'll have to check it out.

Weird, the sale says it is extended at 33% off, but the prices are 50% off. Has anyone built the Matilda, and is it as bad as I bet it is?

Eric, the sale is 33% off their already discounted prices. I think stuff is normally discounted about 15%. Great Models discounts their stuff (mostly) at 20% and Model Expo normally isn't quite as good a price.

Ausf, I don't know why they canceled your 1/35 King. When I checked this afternoon, they were showing 5 of the regular kit and 2 of the Ardennes in stock.

Sorry it's not working for you.

These were all RC. 'Were' being the operative word...

It's not your fault, It's their 'Micheal Palin' to my 'John Cleese'.....

Although you brought this ray of sunshine into my......

Cleese - it's not much of a cheese shop, is it?
Palin - the finest in this manor, squire!
Cleese - explain the logic underlying that conclusion!
Palin - it's so clean
Cleese - it's certainly uncontaminated by any cheese!

anyway, just thought i would say that my ModelExpo box arrived yesterday via UPS,
less than 1 week after my order, well packed & intact.
my complete order was there, but it was all cars & planes, so don't start thinking i 'took your stuff'

wish they had more armor that i 'need', but i have more kits than i could build.
i just can't pass up a good deal.

AUSF stop it or mummy wont let you burn any more zippo's er Shermans
Aus stop it I have a review of a depressed patient to do in 5 mins I AM HAVING HYSTERICS AND NEAR INCONTINENCE reading this
Just hide in the forest with that nice Micheal Wittman and that lovely "88"
Nick the nurse

Damn, it dosent look like the RC's fall under this discount...

Thanks for your email Bill.

Looks like business has been so good they have upped the prices to cash in on the volume of orders. Since I looked 3 days ago, the Churchill VII and Centaur have gone up by $6 and $10 respectively, but the Matilda is still the same and the Cromwell has gone (going through my Brit stage).

They sold me the Tiger I, for $468. My sons and I were sitting on the porch waiting for it. Then I guess they realized what they've done.
They offered the M4 for $311. I bet that poor sucker didn't get his either.

Peter,

You have to click on the link that says something like "This weeks internet specials, Click here" to see the lower pricing. Kind of wierd, but that's the way it works.

Yeah, same thing happened to me Peter. Like Bill said, I looked there. Now I'm sending my statement to Bill, you evil man. LOL
