 With all the Drama and Other on here....I Truly wonder just how long Gregg will keep this Board up and Running....

 

I Have this Feeling...."Not For Very Long"...And to be Honest....I would not Blame him.

 

This Place is just too much like a Soap Opera.. Terrible...Just Terrible...You would think that "US" Kinda Guy's....and in Truth there is Not many of us, would *** Be Happy *** about this Hobby.

 

So i ask....Where is the "Spirit"...That this Model Car Magizine Board (forums) Should have ?

 

What has Happen?...where did it all go Wrong?...

 

Do you Feel this Board will be here for much Longer ? (simple question)

 

Just a Yes or No.....No Drama Please...

 

I want to Thank Everbody for the Replies....On this Matter.....My intentions were NOT to Start Drama...how ever, after some consideration....I can see how this would have been seen has a Drama Thread....has i call it...

 

 

I am Not here for Drama....Nor do i wish to start .. Drama...

 

 

 

So out of Respect to all I ask that "PLEASE" would one of the Moderators lock this Thread.

 

I do not know how to lock this thread my self.....or i would have done so...

 

Thanks for letting me Speak

 

Cheers to All....

I was wondering if anybody would know the value of this kit: Its a Hubley metal kit # 4857  Model A Town Sedan

 

Thanks in advance for any input

I will stick to the topic...and be happy to answer your Question..the best i can.

I just sold one last week...for $30.00 Sealed...

But there is No Value.."Persay" in Model Kits.....It all depends on what one will pay.....I have Kit(s) that are said to be valued $200 / $300 ea...but Ha....

Yep...like they all said...Then go buy more kits....

But really just have Fun...

Cheers...

I needed a change of pace...something different...so i went and pick-up the TRUMPETER "AMERICAN laFrance Eagle " "Fire pumper" (Fire Truck) 1/25 Scale. Item No.02506

I told my self...Hey my collection needs a Fire Truck....Looking foward to it..well as soon as i get the 3 wip's of the bench...

326 Parts with P/E parts....Looks like a Good Challenge..

Found it at a Hobby Town USA Hobbies....with a $25.00 off the sticker price....Only $65.16 out the door...

My LHS down the street from me has it for $93.00 + tax

Pays to look around...

Cheers to all..

Thanks...Don

George, here is another way to look at why we stash our kits,  with model kits, you never know how many times a kit is going to be issued, some get reissued for 40 plus years, so get one run and they are done, so if  you want a kit, its best to buy it when its first issued, because you may not see it reissued again.  Sure, most of the kits that have OOP for long periods of time can still be found online, but how much as the price gone up on that kit.

 

And if you are a builder of Japanese kits, they almost never reissue kits, so once they done, they are done, and once the supply runs out, good luck, and when you do, they are going to cost you.

 

So buying now ensures us we will have the kits that we want , and not have to take out a second mortgage on the house to buy that kit that we passed up years back

I support that all the way....
