Basta 138 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Other than the Camels, most of these have been lingering on the MBK site for 3+ weeks. They saw the feeding frenzy in the states and so are shifting the also-rans in Germany to Andy's to clear them out in 5 minutes flat. Gazzas 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 23,802 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 If there were some Fokker D.VIIs, I'd grab a couple right quick, but with most being long sold out, I knew there was little to zero chance of that, and the rest really don't appeal to me anyway. D Bellis 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aircare84 556 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 After their last sale, I think I'll pass on the feeding frenzy. kalashnikov-47, scvrobeson and AlbertD 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think at this point, most of the buyers are speculators who intend to flip them later for higher prices rather than people who actually intend to build. AlbertD 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzas 7,129 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 The amazing thing to me is the Camels. I would have thought they would have sold better. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams 3,566 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Only thing I can think of on the Camels is that they were a relatively late release, and maybe they overproduced so they would last longer based on how quickly earlier kits sold out. Or maybe they just weren’t as popular as other kits like the Fokker D.VII. Basta and scvrobeson 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Leaning_Dog 432 Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 ...for what it's worth, at 6:20 PM Pacific Time, all of the pre-order kits are sold out, except for the AMC Dh.9 ... Cheers! John. Troy Molitor 1 Link to post Share on other sites
scvrobeson 3,231 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Meh. Got the last of what I could want from Weta Workshop yesterday. One last Camel, and a post-war Bristol. Matt Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers! John. ... And - - they're gone! Good job US consumer! Doing the heavy credit-card lifting when lazy euro modelers shirked their fair share! We can always count on you! But seriously... the Camels were produced late in the game but were selling well, especially the ships Camel which is always first to go in these now regularly scheduled events (it's starting to resemble Elton John's retirement tour). Personally I like the lines of the Snipe much better, just something about it, trollish like a Chaika. Link to post Share on other sites
