Hi.
Don't know if it's just me, but anyone notice
that Squadron does not have the best pricing
on some things (AFV's are what I've noticed)
(sure I do pay attention to flyer, always seem
that what I want is not in it recently)
I've done a lot of shopping at tankrats avf depot
and not only the prices been better, there is free
shipping. The con here is that I ordered the Cyber
Hobby Wittman Tiger, and within a week, they have
raised the price up to $132 !!! and worse say retail
is $150. What ??? Still I got mine for a fairly
decent price. But being careful I got everything I
wanted for decent prices. Squadron OTHO charges list
price and they also say MSRP is higher than normal.
What hurt, Squadron was markedly higher on everything
I wanted, and you pay shipping. (still got stuff on
the way from them too tho) And Dragon USA is great
to me also.
We only have one local shop left. And tho selection
is good (!) it's an hour away with no traffic. Which
in the Wash DC area is ALWAYS a problem. Normally it's
well over an hour just to pay full list price.
(Crown Vic gets 27.5mpg highway but only 15mpg city,
shoot thats the price of shipping right there with
traffic)
At this point the internet offers a wider selection
and being careful, better pricing. And even Amazon.com
is becoming like priceline, where you can shop for deals.
Don't get me wrong. On the whole, no question this IS
the golden age of modeling !! With what we have today
I feel like I'm in modeling heaven !
Ok, I'm done ranting.....
They STILL have not plowed my street yet. At least car
is dug out, so I'm making a go for the main road today.
