Sprue Brothers has acquired Great Models webstore...

It's always sasy/potentially bad when another modeling outlet goes under, because that is that much less competition for the rest of them, and therefore that much less incentive to keep their prices reasonable and their customer service high.

We all know what monopolies can be like ... witness the phone company conglomerations and the airlines ...

I wonder if Spruebrothers will continue to restock the civilian stuff like cars and airliners.  I know Spruebrothers stock of few airliners but no cars.  Great Models seemed to always have a good selection of those subjects.

I've been a happy and loyal customer of Great Models for several years and am sorry to see them go.  Recently I've started purchasing from Sprue Brother as well, so I'm hoping this will be a win-win situation for all customers. 

One a side note I saw the 40% sale at GM on Thurs and was ecstatic to see Friulmodel tracks on the list!!   $23.95 on sale when they usually go for $39-$46 (at different sites)....NIIICE!!  

yeah, i do agree spruebrothers should carry more then just armor and aircraft. car,sci fi,and civilian AC. 

I loved Great Model website, especially when you wanted to see reviews of a certain kit. I like Sprue Brothers specials when thye have them and sale prices and would like to see them improve their website and also add kit reviews to it.

FYI - You may experience even longer deliveries from GB. My brother just stopped by their warehouse to pick up my order and they are backlogged with the sale up to 2-3 weeks on orders. I hope it doesn't take your orders that long just be aware how stacked up they are.

I ordered on-line March 14th, order didn't ship till Monday morning March 19th. Received by March 21st.

I don't doubt the backlog is a lot worse now that word got around about the sale.

Yea,my sale stuff came exactly on the 7th day after I placed my order,no biggie as the kits were only being added to an ever growing stash.

I didn't think it would be much of an issue seeing as we're all model builders an thus possess a limitless supply of patience. Right?
