That's only reason I'll make a stop at The Electic Chic every few months. You'll never know what you'll find. The last time I went, I bought the Lost in Space Robot kit. This time I didn't find as much as last time. I'd say there were 5 kits out there still for sale compared to 10 or 12 three months ago.

There is another antique shop out in Little Falls that had the old Revell USS Boston missile cruiser kit I'm thinking of getting soon. Oldmodelkits site was asking $125 for the same kit. The store I found it was asking way far cheaper for it... $40.

It pays to shop at antique stores/antique malls.

Well, I am moving more and more, to them VEE-hickles. . . I am about done with aircraft for now. Two builds, two canopies cracked or broken - both just trying t9o get some tape on them. Armor, trucks, boats all present their own chanllenges, though.

Just throw in the towel and build Gundam.

Well, not likely to happen. Not a fan of Gundam, although I do apppreciate those that build them.

Some times you find the best deals in the weirdest places. I bought a few second hand kits at a flea market for a few euro's, or picked up new Revell Starwars kits at the local discounter. It never hurts to keep your eyes open for those hidden deals and treasures.
