Is this site for real? Because with a selection like theirs, and with the phenomenally low prices, the retired items are a steal. First edition T-34 for $29.99?! That's pretty amazing. Do you think they're scammers, or for real?
Huh

Give them a try, although I'm leaning toward the conclusion that they arent able to offer these prices. They're showing the 1:16 scale Wittmann Tiger I as "coming this fall" (it came out last fall) and are expecting 2007 items in July. Cant hurt to give them a call. Maybe they are alive and kicking and will honor those prices.

Hate to say this, but it probably is too good to be true. Only reeason I'm not certain it is is because you probably ordered different items than I did.
Thought I found this treasure trove a few months back, but it turned out to be an un-updated page that had several other issues as well.
Reference this thread for further info:

Wow.
That's too bad...thought I struck the jackpot.
Thanks PanzerArm. The dream of T-34's for thirty, and Shermans for twenty, was a good fantasy.

Tried to contact them without a response. Whatever then, I'll just have to venture into the sales of EvilBay.

Yes, I can personally attest that the good stuff is long gone. The seller has another party update his site, and apparently they are cheap and thus lazy.
So very lazy.
I wanted that 1/32 Jagdpanther so much.

I ordered from them a long time ago with no issue. However the communication was next to zero.
I also had placed an order for items that were listed but then a week or two later got a canned e-mail saying it was out of stock and they'd let me know when it came in. Never heard from them again.
Of course I now see their website is a lot different than when I ordered from them before, so who knows???

Found the same website a few months back and I also thought I hit a jackpot but the site turned out to be a pipe dream. No response from them so I blew them off.
