OK, so I'm probably going to pass on this deal - the picks are a little all over the place - but if you're just starting out, or part of a club, or whatever, maybe you can use it.

VCS hobbies, in yesteday's newsletters, is hyping the below (which I can't find on the site):

You can either call them for it (718.395.1784, which I am guessing is in NY somewhere) or they are apparently selling the same deal on ebay, limited to 5. The Warstore sells these for around $40 apiece so this seems like a pretty good deal to me, it appears to be around $200 worth of paint for $60+$7.50 s/h.

Disclaimer: I am not these guys, I don't know these guys, it's not my auction, and your mileage may vary. If this was inappropriate for N&R, my apologies.

This line has me a little concerned.

When ordering please provide the following information

() number of each set in this package

I bought this. They only have 4 left. Move fast people.

~Edit~

I called them and they said that the number of kits listed are what you will receive. HUGE bargain.

Yep. Interesting that the listing shows as "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available." but there are 3 left.

I sent the seller a question if you get all of the sets listed.


Edit: Good call, soul of Iron...

I sent a e-mail and was told that they have all been sold.

If one of you guys who hopped on this could post what you got, it might be useful going forward.

I wasn't sure how I got on their mailing list, but I think I got some pigment fixer from them once and that's probably how. If it turned out this was indeed a few hundred bucks worth of paint for $67, I'll make sure to read the letters I get from them carefully in the future for more deals.

I got my shipment and I was astounded. There were 110 pots of paint in that sale. At the $2.99 going rate I got $330 of paint for $65 shipped.

OMG!

T-T

Oh, I am so glad I didn't know about this when it was still live. I really shouldn't be spending more money on plastic soldier stuff and I would not have been able to resist that!
