Just tick agree I was pointing out which 1361 to go for since they are exactly the same price. Both bargains have been posted. Would you rather let people buy pups or a better alternative?

Both bargains have been posted. Would you rather let people buy pups or a better alternative? Jason I wouldn't base my buying on one video alone. Neither should anyone else. By the way - it wasn't just you posting reviews/comments about alternate models, others started it. I will repeat - this is the bargain hunters thread, not a review hunters thread. For reviews - go look in the respective manufacturers sections. Otherwise - it'll become clogged with other reviews. (and then reviews of reviews) "Don't post a review" about to be added to the OP.

The intention of posting the video wasn't to that effect. A bargain had been posted for £75 down from an RRP of £159. A similar bargain was posted recently, but after watching Sam's video I opted against purchasing so just wanted to make other potential buyers aware that they knew what they were letting themselves in for. As is the mantra of this thread, the definition of a bargain is decided by the potential purchaser. Personally, I found Jason's comment rather condescending which is a shame, but that is a whole new topic and this should stick to bargains. As I say - video posted just to make buyers aware. Nothing else. Edited May 6, 2020 by Trojmiasto 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Widnes Model Centre 1,539 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I have seen a video advert on Facebook with the sale of over 20,000 overstocked items used in the construction of Miniatur Wonderland. The advert states it is only vehicles and planes. Nothing really jumps out from the website, but it is possibly this. https://shop.miniatur-wunderland.com/model-building.html?_ga=2.212399570.777074192.1588928735-2090216474.1588928735&cat=218&mt_act=Website+CtA&mt_cat=Click&mt_lb=Online-Shop+Modellbau 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TomScrut 1,848 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I noticed there was some more stuff on there yesterday whilst looking for something else but got distracted and didn't get chance to put the alert up. There is a Network Rail MPV now (previously just Railtrack ones which are a lot more common at knock down prices) at £104: http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=340_350_355_357&products_id=11705 I was tempted by this myself but don't need anymore NR stuff. I also thought these EWS VBAs didn't look bad value at £10.99 http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=369_370_377_386_389&products_id=5631 Link to post Share on other sites
