roymattblack Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) You're right... I just rang them. Tuesday is the last day. Roy. Edited August 12, 2013 by roymattblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khimbar Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Apparently today is last day of trading although the staff are in the shop tomorrow. That's what the guys told me on Saturday. Roy. Cack, I was planning on going to Leeds tomorrow which is due to close on the same date! Anyone know if Leeds is closing today too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Séan Pádraig Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm picking up a lockable display cabinet with glass shelving and led lighting for a friend from the Romford store... anyone else bought display cabinet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sorry, losing track of the thread, but have any stores actually closed yet? And if so were there any further discounts (other than the final week 30% discounts that have already applied?) I've seen mention of possible 50 or 75% last day discounts but not read whether they actually happened? My vulture instinct is making me wonder if it'll be worth going into Swansea tomorrow....

roymattblack Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Lots of shops already closed but not beyond 30% yet as far as I know - anyone know different? It seems that remaining stock is being moved to a few 'final' stores where there may be bigger discounts at the very end. Unfortunately, none of those stores are going to be near me - Ipswich. Roy.

Pat C Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The Croydon store had a couple of shelves of returned kits with missing parts at big discounts. I was tempted by an Italeri Huey which was missing its fuselage as for some reason I have the fuselage missing all the other bits, but on closer inspection it looked like some other parts were missing as well and I passed. The 48th Trumpeter Skywarrior mentioned previously was still there. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roymattblack Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 As a slight aside, and speaking of display cabinets, have any of you guys seen this one at Argos? It's big enough to get two 1/12 cars or one 1/8 car on each shelf! I have two of them on the way to me right now.Model display problems solved for a long time. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6141303.htm Roy.

Max Headroom Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Liverpool is shutting on the 22nd August. Stocks dwindling, though still lots of Hasegawa .......and Vallejo. I asked one of the guys if they were going it alone like some other branches. Sadly not. Maybe their surplus stock will go to Chester?

Rickpadwick1801 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I am going to Eastbourne on Friday for the airshow, but am also going to go to Models one. Is the shop still open does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Does anyone know how the Birmingham branch is stocked and what they have for discounts? I might stock up on a few Tamiya paints if they have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerboy Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I am going to Eastbourne on Friday for the airshow, but am also going to go to Models one. Models one? .... don't understand! However the E'Bourne MZ was open yesterday and the guys had no further news, so I suspect it will still be around next w/e & they are expecting a delivery tomorrow, but of what they don't know. However it's never been a Particularly well stocked shop in terms of kits and the tools & paint stocks are dwindling rapidly with the poss exception of Tamiya spray cans. Not sure weather to go to the airshow Fri,sat or sun....what could be better, sitting in the sun on the pier with a nice cool bevy WATCHING PLANES! edit:-forgot to say kits 20% off 50% tools paints etc as at yesterday.

Silver Fox Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just got back from Meadowhall MZ, very sad end, though there were some Hasegawa kits I'd never seen there but hardly anything else.
