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?

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.

Wouldn't mind getting a T-34 for $29.99 but I doubt it.

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.
