Walked past VHS during lunch today and saw they have a 40-50% off sale on at the moment. Apparently off all stock unless marked otherwise (and no discount off certain train stuff).

On a related note, according to the flyer it's a "change of ownership" sale. Does anyone have the goz on this? Or is this just the death of another LHS?

Hi Rudi. I heard a whisper about this a while back, I believe that it may be health related with the current owner(s).

Will try to confirm.

Cheers, D

Thanks Damian. I overheard the bloke with the ponytail mention that he may stick around, but it all seems a bit in the air at the moment.

Had a quick look online at the prices of some of the kits I'm considering picking up from them. Unfortunately even with a 50% sale reduction, all I'd be saving on is the postage from Hong Kong... Oh well, maybe I'll go have a second look during lunch today.

p.s. for the train enthusiasts, I did notice that most of the train stuff had already sold yesterday.
