I went to MH during the weekend and they got a fantastic discount for most of their models.. other than that Tamiya! Discounts ranging from 50% to 25%

I got loads of stuff for less than $50! (I bought things worth close to $80)

However, didn't find the kits that I want though. But anyhow.. still a trip well worth!

Yup, great discounts but too bad the stuff i wanted are all gone

I wonder if they restocked? Leopold?

I'm thinking of going there again to check on stocks. Hope Leopold can give us an answer!

MH = Miniature Hobby.

BTW, Leopold seems to be MIA. I never seen him at MH nowadays, maybe he quit?

Miniature hobby is situated at Marina Square, it is just beside the cinema, hard to miss.

They're having a great discount right now, up to 50%.

Just got the Trumpeter's JGSDF type 82 and 87 vehicle for $28+ after 40% discount today, that's really cheap. Didn't manage to find the ariete MBT and the warrior ifv Op telic.
But the concord special ops books are a bit expensive $19.90. Storm Domain sell them for only $12.90.
