mkrob Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 this section of late appears to have dissolved into a point scoring element, as opposed to the concept of other sharing deals with those like myself, who might have otherwise, missed them. It occurs to me that it might be better served, by reverting to its former useful purpose You should think yourself lucky you don't live in the United States of Trumpton for saying what you think or the black helicopters will coming to your house to take you to guantanamo bay. LOL But I do agree with you,this section should be just for letting fellow modellers know about bargains,but some of us like to tell others of our own good fortune & not to score points. I believe it's called being human. By the way this post is not for scoring points! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCML100 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 FYI i went in to the White city Westfields branch of WHSmith / Modelzone. Bachmann and Gaugemaster stuff was all 25% off and all Hornby products were at full RRP. Asked a guy there if there was any deals on the stock due to the demise of the model zone brand within the stores but he seemed bemused at that and said theres only stock shortages at the moment and no such thing as model zones closing down as far as he was aware, at least in his store anyway...

irishmail Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hornby Magazine offering free sample of their digital magazine. https://pocketmags.com/eu/Hornby-magazine/Hornby-magazine Just down loaded the sample mag. It is 100 pages, and looks like to be mainly articles from previous editions of Hornby Magazine. Still a good idea if you want to see what a digital magazine would be like.

It still isn't clear what is actually happening to WHSmith ModelZone, whilst it would seem a number are closing not every outlet is confirmed yet as going although they are all looking very depleted in stock terms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theakerr Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just went to download the so called free copy of Hornby Mag and this is what I came up just before I started to download the app. Needless to say I did not proceed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby Mag Warning.tiff Do you have any security software that might have thrown up that message? I occasionally get similar messages from known good links but best to be careful, just in case.

Theakerr Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Re warning, this is the first time i have ever had this warning in about 4 years on this computer and I am not aware of any security software issues. I do however have the very vague memory of downloading the pocket mag app when I was looking at getting BRM that was: a) a pain to use on a mac and messed up some other programs. It actually took a telephone call to the UK to get it sorted and b) was one hell of a pain to remove when I decided not to follow up because unlike the NA concept (pdf format) i never actually get to own the copy. This would have been on my old MAC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the site and downloaded the free edition OK, no warnings. Rob That is a brave statement and I would not assume it was a false positive without investigation. It could after all be your software not detecting a problem. Without knowing what software, build state and virus definitions I would advise against suggesting anything is ok.

Roy It could well be my security software not detecting it, but, I suggested it was a false positive, not that it was definitely one. The OP wisely didn't proceed, so no harm done. I'd have done the same if my software had done that too. He suggests from his other comments he may be in the US. Perhaps that has a bearing.

RMweb Gold Garry D100 Posted January 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2017 Out of the 20 odd emails i just went through only one had a bargain in it. Maybe we need to rename this thread "Occasional Bargain Hunter" sponsored by Birds Eye "Waffle". Please guys if some want to talk in detail about modelzone, software issues et al be mindfull of the fact your filling up other peoples inboxes with mails irrelevant to them and possibly the thread topic. Maybe use pm to each other to discuss? Just a suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
