This is going to be my shortest post ever I think - one picture.
I blame my mate Nick - he is a "Primate member" on local online retailer "Mighty Ape" and gets extra discounts plus free shipping - last time this deal came up, it was NZ$174 - so how could I resist this one (for reference, NZ$105 is US$62 or GBP 46)
I will probably sell off the IS II (and the tankmen on foot) because I really don't need five of the things - more T34 and KV are welcome though, as they can pop up from 1941 onwards, so useful in most eras on the Ost Front
I guess in another month, Nick will let me know I can get the same deal for $89 ....... sigh!
That looks like nice collection Keith. Of course, if you do sell off the IS II you'll no doubt find a scenario the following day that needs five of them.
ReplyDeleteHaha....thanks Lawrence....it is a risk I am willing to take, I think! So far, the majority of my Soviet armour is late war...I need some T26 and BT 5/7 for earlier periods...plus, I should really get some softskin tows and transport
DeleteNice bargain!
ReplyDeleteIt is that, Jon....less than 50% of the original full price....I wonder how many they have left.....!!
DeleteThat's my philosophy Keith...see a great bargain....you buy!
ReplyDeleteYes....I guess it's OK John.....doesn't sit right deep in my Scottish soul, though!!
DeleteA great purchase there Keith.
ReplyDeleteIts value for money, no doubt about that Ben - a single 28mm tank kit would be $50-$60 here - you would be doing well to get two models for $105!
DeleteToo good a bargain to resist there Keith and useful stuff for you project and if you sell of part of them it becomes even cheaper!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie - yes, with my mercurial brain, I am thinking I might even get $40 for the IS II on its own!
DeleteI think at that price it would have been rude not to buy it :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm - I do try to be polite and do the right thing!
DeleteGreat price. When you need something it is even better!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great price for sure, Joe! "Need" in this context is definitely a subjective description......
