It’s been such a happy three-day shopping spree! A very enjoyable one! :wink:

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

11

does this place have a website?
I want to get some of that

12

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!

13

WOW!!! with that good deals its alright to splurge alittle…great buys!!! u made the economy proud [:D]

-DJ

14

Holy sh* t! I dream of getting 3 kits at a time, I going to have to up my standerds lol, great stuff there!

15

Now if only you’d build even one yourself… [:D]

16

JUST OPEN YOUR OWN HOBBY SHOP! you got enought kits to last a few million hours of modeling.

17

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.
