bootneck Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Kingkit is mainly a procurer of pre-owned kits, although they also buy in new stuff. As such, their collection is vast and much of it not available from 'regular' retailers such as Hannants, HLJ etc., who only stock in new kits. You are unlikely to find a 1:48 Dynavector Sea Vixen; 1:48 Revell Phantom FGR.2 or an Airfix Gloster Javelin at any of those other outlets.

Desk Flyer Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Are thy still operating and do they still buy second hand kits? I've been trying to get in touch them for more than a week now to no avail. E-mails unanswered, getting their answering machine on the phone... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent request for a valuation on 5th June 2021. And am still waiting for a reply. I did buy something in March, and that was dispatched very quickly.

Looks like three kits are heading towards eBay... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannants have an ever-evolving stock of second-hand kits (in addition to the 59,000 new, stock-items on their books!). All I would say on their second-hand items is, see if you can get it cheaper elsewhere. The Big H's 2nd-hand prices are sometimes a tad "optimistic". Cheers. Chris.
