I had to confess I can't stop laughing with my friend, Bogdan, every time when we decide to buy something: "Well, only now, then tomorrow we will be nice kids!". Actually we find always a way to postpone this "tomorrow" for better days. So, for some future projects and finding some good offers, I bought some stuff. The last bust is one of the last releases from Best Soldiers(Italy), I have a special idea with it, but all the details when the good moment will arrive. Cheers, Nicolae What the HOLY HELL!! imnotjealousimnotjealousimnotjealousimnotjealous... Good luck and loads of fun with these. Hope to see some WIP(s) soon(?)

$150?!?!? WOW! What a great deal... can't wait to see you build it one day. How is the SCUD launcher build going? I'm really trying to push the 104...so the SCUD is waiting patiently

Man everybody is getting some cool stuff this month! Wow. Star Wars stuff, figures out tha ying yang, a bad "A" Russian rocket launcher and now a 1/32nd scale B-25. I had to treat myself after seeing all this..... I recently found an outlet for Ross Gibson engines so I just had to pick the ones I've been wanting up. A cool small block Chevy with a Hillborn Fuel Injection setup...... and a bad Rat motor to go with it........

My model-Christmas present arrived today courtesy of Amazon of all places if you can believe that. Nice big heavy chunk of WW1 armor. Always wanted to build the A7V and was thrilled when Meng announced they would do one. This one will likely get an express ticket to the top of the waiting list after the F-102 project.

It was $70 USD including shipping, but I had a $15 credit with Amazon that made it an even sweeter deal.

Do BR disc and books count, too? When, I have tons of new stuff! And Lucas, I am no more so happy about the Maim kits and figures! Bevor destroying tons of money for those kits, I rethink a bit... sadly, but better for my wallet!

Hmmm, does "Master Series" mean something special? Are there PE parts and resine chunks in the box too? Or is it a weekend edition?

Bevor destroying tons of money for those kits, I rethink a bit... sadly, but better for my wallet! Frank Thats just fine. I reviewed the kit again and found that its really nice, but there are options for other kits.

Holy crap guys! Jeff What the??? And i suppose you're gonna say that it's just a coincidence that my Mk.VIII has gone missing. OK Jeff. I will formally apologize for accusing you of thievery. I found the Mk. VIII

I don't know Tony, it says you have to be 14+ to build it... 904 parts, shouldn't take you too long.

I dont really like huge models cause theyre so hard to paint but I couldn't pass this up. So much room to detail. I plan for this one to be a long project. My hair should be fully gray by the time im done.

I checked that kit out Millennium Falcon kit out yesterday on the net. Man I didn't realize how pricey that kit was. Looks to be a good one though. Maybe one day......

Wait...that Falcon kit is the Fine Molds plastic? Yeah, I'll have to buy it if that's the case...I thought it was a continuation of the toy kits from Revell...which I have no interest in.

Oh heck no...I must be confusing this with another of their kits that I saw for much cheaper. It looks like it goes for around $250-$300? Yeah that's no happening. I love Star Wars...duh, but my modeling interest just aren't that great...there's things I'd spend that on...but not this

There's the AMT version but it aint near the quality bar that the Fine Molds kit is. I've actually got the AMT kit in the stash. It's a doable kit but it's a lot of work.

You've uncovered the "Paradox of Jim" on this one. I don't have any patience or desire for a poor quality kit...I also have no urge to spend on the good one of this subject..haha.

LOL. I dunno which way I'll go. That Revell kit looks really good so I may save for it. The AMT kit looks daunting.

Speaking of the Falcon I saw some days ago an offer for a Lego Masterpiece MILLENIUM FALCON. Must be out of production, has over 5200 parts (or bricks, just like you prefer) and was offered for, Gentlemen, start your engine please, 5200 Euro. One brick one Euro. Hellish!

I just got the 1/144 Bandai Falcon in the mail yesterday. Marvelous kit, larger than you'd think, not terribly expensive...

I've seen that kit around and at first thought it to be too small. Guess I'll have to look further into that one.
