Courtesy of the Airfix "Black Friday" discount promotion when I 'hassled' the family about "What dad thought was cool for Xmas". At £20 instead of £50 it seemed a bargain. I think I have re-learnt this trick from the kids. I didn't stop there as I went a tad nautical crazy and picked up an E-Boat for £10 instead of the usual £35! (see below):
Last but not least was the Saturn V Skylab (£15 instead of £40). It'll come in handy for a Science Projdct honest! (See below):
I was then tranqilised and sedated but not before I had clicked on the Cutty Sark Starter Pack (£2.49 instead if £8), a 1/350 spare RN Helicopter and Sea Harrier pack (£0.99 instead of £4.99) and an M3 Half-Track (£2.49 instead of £8) all just to qualify for the free P&P and perversely save me money on the order!
My excuse was that I was doing the family a favour and saving them all from hours at the "shops the ladies hate!"
Excellent savings here Geordie!
ReplyDeleteThe E-Boat for a tenner! Bargin!
I think you did your family a great service by saving them from all that tedious shopping. I am torn between regret and relief that I missed this sale....
ReplyDeleteA Cutty Sark starter pack ! Presumably leads on to plastic dependancy ? :)
ReplyDeleteBig projects each with a long time scale and dubious wargaming potential
ReplyDeleteI did do well to resist the 1:24 scale Mustang (but only just)!
