Kitlinx Newsletter - Feb 18, 2022

 

BREAKING NEWS

  • Schiffer Publishing: These "Legends of Warfare" series are a new interesting series for Aircraft/Armor/Ships modelers with walk-arounds of each vehicle/aircraft/ship. Kitlinx is expecting another shipment from Schiffer this week including the entire "Armor" series

  • Revell of Germany 1/48 SR-71: The "first batch" of these kits in the US is sold out, but we are expecting more in the coming days/weeks. Please be patient!

  • Copper State Models: We are receiving the four new kits from Copper State early this week. It includes the "super hot" 1/32 Caudron G.III, but also the 1/35 armor kits Canadian MG Carrier, Russian RB Armoured car and German Pz.Sp.Wg

  • Roco/Hera 1/87 Armor: Kitlinx is receiving this week a HUGE collection of about 2,000 Roco/Hera armor kits, all of them out of production. A local modeler was building a full Regiment, all modern US armor.

  • European Order: Kitlinx has another "European Delay" with an order late January. Interestingly, a subsequent order arrived BEFORE this order... It is frustrating, but "our new 2021-2022 reality". We appreciate your patience. This order and more are expected this week. NEW CUSTOMERS, please be cautious if you order an "exciting item" with a status of "Special Order in Europe, Ships in less than 2 weeks". It does mean that this item is NOT available in the US.

  • In Stock at Kitlinx: Kitlinx currently has ~24,200 different SKUs in stock, on its shelves. It includes the two Hobby Shops in Salt Lake City (next to Kitlinx warehouse) and Sandy, Utah (13 miles away). But there are an ADDITIONAL 2,000 items in the Sandy Hobby Shop NOT showing in stock on Kitlinx website. When an order for these items is placed, Kitlinx first checks with its inventory. These items are NOT confirmed in stock, and might be old/sold. But very often, they are available and fill the orders.

  • Collections... Kitlinx entered MORE of the DanielK collection this week, but mostly resin ships, and odd items. It's difficult to describe it all, so you may want to check the collection link. Also, we added many ship or armor books like Arco Publications

Your Feedback:

Always a positive experience dealing with Kitlinx. I could order and purchase from anywhere, and I choose Kitlinx exclusively . Items available, reference to “Scalemates”, and ability to pull up related products allows me to shop “smart”.I appreciate your work ethics and will continue to shop at Kitlinx!!

I am having a great experience with KitLinx. I can find just about anything and get it quickly shipped at a reasonable cost. Kitlinx is my go-to online supplier

Interested in Isracast 1/32 scale refuelling probe for F-4 Phantom Website quotes $17US for shipping to Canada, same price as the item itself Wondering if you could do better by reducing shipping costs on this small item to Montreal, QC

 

RESPONSE FROM KITLINX: 

The issues here are:

1. it's a tiny order

2. goes to a foreign country!

Any order to Quebec is about that price. Even the tiniest part... yes it's ridiculous, but Kitlinx doesn't set shipping. If you have a friend cross the border, we can ship this kit to him/her for $7 by 1st Class mail!!

The other option is MAKE IT WORTH IT by making a larger order. Make sure you stay below 4lbs which is Priority International and very pricey

Search Tips:

[Kitlinx is still working on its LEFT COLUMN searches. This work will be completed as soon as "Kitlinx-on-the-clouds" is working smoothly]

Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx (the SEARCH BOX at the TOP of the website). Below are the KEYS to search ~ 100,000+ available products (67% in US, 33% in Europe)

1. Use the top box search on Homepage

2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search. Example: "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model"

3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor. Example: "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access"

4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items  

5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"

6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer

7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
