The other day while picking some paint from Casey's Hobby Shop I seen they have a new range of plastic kits.
Aoshima close to $70 each and one thing there is no clear plastic wrap around the box that was a shock to see, Anyone could easy take parts out of the box.
Yes have been saying for awhile now kit prices have gone up alot in the last 2 years and more so this year due to shipping costs. Glad I stocked up before the price hike.
All the Aoshima kits ive bought and built none had plastic shrink wrap, never had a missing part either. Same with Fujimi and Bandai. Never been a problem as I buy from online shops.
The new Revell kits coming out of Germany are close to the 100 dollar mark which it sad to see you not going to get any young ones come along to build up kits sadly I can see model building be coming to a stop or for a few rich people.
I have more that want I tryed selling some but only sold a few, I will post some more on here when I can.
I even have enough Tank kits too
Think of the environment Al. Most Australia shops either sticky tape or put those clear round check seals on the Japanese kits. I also have never had an issue with missing parts.
Definitely saw the price hike coming and stocked up. I may not have many American kits but I have more then enough and plenty of variety
I been on the environment since I was six year old when I help plant a pine forest and reuse things only to be told I should not worry about things like that the Earth will be right for millions of years. Ya right.
They had light fingered ones hit Casey's not long after it open someone walked out with six RC 4x4 cars and they had kits walk off the shelf too.
Well I had plans to do a few builds this Summer but the summer has gone on holidays it's almost gone back to Winter time, It's been cool and over cast with fine misty rain, They saying this weather is going be around until April.
The weather has stop my oil painting as it does not dry.
