Darryl:

Are you the OPP officer who gave me that wreckless driving ticket on the 400 last year?

Brian,

No, not me. I am a S/Sgt and normally ride a desk

Well come on out. Like I said it is a friendly group that builds everything from cars, planes, ships and of course armour

Darryl

Funny, I didnt even notice him.. LOL.. You guys build when you meet? If I was to come out the odd time, should I bring a kit or something.

Dave

Learned my lesson after a 115 in an 80.. In my service no less....That stung a bit.. LOL


Dave

Dave,

We normally bring out our built kits, or the ones we have in progress and some of us also bring out kits we have just bought. We do an around the table show and tell. Like I said all are welcome and its a relaxed time.

Dave,

I haven't issued a ticket in many years and while talking with one of our constables the other day I learnt how much the speeding fines had increased!!!

BTW I am ex 1 CER from the late 70's

The prices are getting a bit ridiculus at MH I'm going to send an email seeing if they could lower there prices

I went back and looked to see if the prices have gone up all that much. Starting in 2003 (when I found armorama and MH)
the Tamyia 6lbr was 11.95, now 14.99
tamyia 251 19.95 now 23.99
25lbr 15.95 now 24.99
quad 14.95 now 24.99
tamyia churchill 39.99 now 47.99
Thes prices were off my first few orders, funny but Dragon figures were all 11.95 and now they are down to 9.95 for most of them. Maybe it depends on the manufacturer, exchange rates etc? it sure seems like the tamyia stuff jumped alot but those are the only kits I can accurately compare. Does anyone else have old bills around with prices from 2-3 years ago for Dragon, Italeri etc? Kind of interested to see.

I see they still havent mastered the whole "If its not in stock then DONT list is as in stock" thing either. 8 days now and they havent even got my order ready for shipment yet.

Hi Tapper: Before the merge they were always pretty good about keeping that the in stock info up to date. if the website said it was there, it was! And I notice now, most things are classified as usually ship in 3-4 days. Used to be it was in stock, or not in stock! I went through my detailed files and I only had to wait more than 2 weeks on 1order out of 12, over a space of 3 years. Doesn't sound like things are running that smoothly lately. Hopefully, they will get things more up to date and running better.

personally it jsut means they wont get as many of my purchases. Too bad, i loved ordering from military hobbies.

Frank

I check Military Hobbies website every day or so and have quickly come to realize that my local hobby store "Ideal Hobbies" is now much cheaper to buy my Dragon kits from. On average they are $5 or moreless a kit than at MH. The only thing is that IH's stock of armour kits is hit and miss.

Darryl

I agree Darryl. Ideal Hobbies in the last while has had some great deals compared to MH in regards to prices. However Ideal Hobbies is first and foremost a RC shop with the plastic kits an afterthought it seems. Its really to bad because I would spend alot more money there if they had a better selection of armour.
