Falconxlvi Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It’s getting close to Black Friday again. I figured it might be useful to have a thread listing the various sales from online hobby shops as they are announced. Does anyone know what Squadron, Sprue Brothers, Scale Hobbyist, etc., have in the works? I haven’t seen any official announcements yet. I see Eduard is offering 25% for BFC members this weekend (Telford show) and again on Black Friday. It can be worth it for orders over $150 USD because the shipping is free and they generally stock everything they make. Anyways- I figured we could update this thread with holiday deals as they are announced. Happy shopping! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 25% off Eduard's inflated US prices isn't really a big deal. I'd rather see them offer the same pricing they charge in Eastern Europe, since it's *half* the US prices, every day. Even charging their EU export prices would be a bigger deal than 25% off their global/US price. /rant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Is squadron doing anything? That 40-50% off was fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you live in Eastern Europe, Eduard only charges you $8 for those overtrees, and that includes 20% VAT. You're paying a $7 'Foreigner Tax'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This was very disappointing. I was prepared to spend and save but you're right, the stock is very depleted of Trumpeter, Meng, and many others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beauslx Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Squadron was diappointing. I only picked the new Airfix Mustang, everything else out of stock that I was looking for or more expensive than Sprue even with the discount. I did well at Sprue, all told saved about $50 and free shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I shopped the Furball sale. I almost bought some furball decals the other day from a retailer, but something told me to hold off, and it worked out for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) I get the DACO newsletter and reidair posted it on his facebook site. Not only books are reduced but also decals. New books are cheaper, too. But not so much as old books. Mig Jimenez has it on his website, you can see the sale on the left column. He has items reduced for 25% and 15%.

Augustin Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) batteries deal ? just know that Gens ace black friday deal is now on https://www.genstattu.com/blackfriday Edited November 25, 2017 by Augustin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yeah, I also looked though Squadron but everything I was interested in was "Out of Stock". Granted I was only looking for a few things as I don't really need anything but still...no joy. Oh well. I got a couple things at other places but like I said, I wasn't really in the market. Hope everyone else did well though! Regards, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
