camaroz06 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Hi All, Just thought we could share deals that we have manged to find or found in the past related to our plastic model obsession. I know some people went crazy on the Squadron sale....wish I had on some P-51's and Spitfires. Anywho, recently I picked up some Hase 1/48 F-22's for $23.00 each and the Hase photoetch part for $8.99. Tower was super discounting them over the holiday break. They are back to $29.99 each now which is still a good price. Also didn't have to pay shipping. Almost forgot, grabbed a 1/72 RB-36 reissue unopened on ebay for $28 shipped. Maybe we can have a "deals" sticky made for current stuff we find? Edited January 5, 2012 by camaroz06 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Two boxes of misc airplane models I got off a guy on Craigslist for 10 dollars. Turned out most were airliner kits. Got two complete kits out of it so far and already sold one on ebay for 150$!!! Also just ordered two Tamiya Toyota GT-One race cars for 14 a piece plus shipping.

The_Animal Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Sheeee-it... Hase 48 F-22s at $29.99???? I'd buy one and I hardly ever get around to building'em. :( I presume they'll do mail-order too? Or is this a "you got to walk your behind into the store to buy anything" type of store.

eharrold44 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I saw a Hobbycraft P-35 combo with a resin cockpit set and Eduard PE go for $27, shipping and all on eBay. Nice semi-rare combo at a sweet price. Wish I could have bid on it, but I can't spend the money right now. The best deals I've personally landed in the last few months were an Academy MiG-21MF for $14 (shipping included), the Accurate Miniatures Pearl Harbor combo for $38 (the Vindicator kit alone often goes for more than that!), and a Hobby Boss Mirage IIICJ for $18.50.

phasephantomphixer Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That's Discustingly Awesome! Reminds me of a similar local CL deal I got a few yrs ago, except half were car kits. Even was rare Eagle Editions Print still in tube of Erich Hartmann's "Knight at Dawn" for $150.00 Unfortunately it was all due to fellow modeler's passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deadmeat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Nice haul, did you have to sneak it in? Nope. Kept about a third of the stash for myself and doubled what I spent by selling the rest on eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
