phasephantomphixer Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Is it scam spam or legit? Edited April 7, 2018 by phasephantomphixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I got one about OmniModels that is/was Hobbico's Ebay retailer so I think it's legit. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 it's legit - Horizon has bought the radio control side of Hobbico with successful bids on those assets a week or two back - Great Planes / Tower Hobbies etc, and I believe Cox/Estes. Last update I saw was that there's another hearing next week on revell and revell germany and hopefully this means someones' bid has been accepted for that as well. One of the chaps on Hyperscale's board was posting good detailed updates, one of the posts had links to the court dockets for those really wanting to follow along in detail phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'm pretty sure Tower will only be selling RC stuff in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STWilliams Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I've bid on Revell, but only if they accept Paypal. Jolly Roger, Rick Griewski and Big Texan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hey I did not receive an email. What makes you guys so special? LOL. This is all pretty tedious with so many a-clowns doing so much damage... and I want the Revell area settled. That said I am actually more interested in how the employees will fair in the end. I suspect badly. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Maas Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Horizon picked up all the RC stuff (Tower/Great Planes), a third party picked up Estes (inc Cox). The Horizon sale was effective yesterday, all the Hobbico booth space at Toledo this weekend has Horizon branding.The auction of the Revell's and United Models (the non-RC distributor arm, who handles Michael's et al) was reportedly suspended with no bidders. It will go to auction at a later date.Many of the Hobbico employees start at Horizon monday. It's nearby and they hired a number of the Tower/GP folks.

Adam Maas Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm pretty sure Tower will only be selling RC stuff in the future. Eh, you'll probably find some train bits too (Horizon owns Athearn/MDC) MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Texan Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yep, I got an email as well. I hope someone picks up Revell. I can not imagine our country without Revell and Monogram kits, and the loss of Revell Germany and all they bring. Sad, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The Hobbico blighters had their tentacles in Michael's too?! Darn. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
