Kitlinx Newsletter - August 6, 2018 Hobby News! WHAT A SHOW! - IPMS Nationals Report
Thank you for saying Hi during the 2018 IPMS Nationals in Phoenix Arizona. The temperature was HOT outside (108F!) but the talent was HOT inside! Please go to Kitlinx Facebook page to see more photos and discussion We SOLD OUT of the many cases of Revell 1/32 P-51D Mustang. We now know why! We are one of the FEW vendors in the world to have it in stock... and most likely the only one in the US!! Revell called us a few months ago to let us know that they are back in business, but it remains to be seen when they are back in production. Kitlinx has increased the MSRP of this kit to $40, and we are still lower than the other International vendors. We are expecting Revell to increase pricing for the next batch. On a SIDE NOTE, we verified that our P-51D had perfectly clear canopy, which was one QC issue with the early release
We sold OUT of a few kits at the Nationals, and we will share that with you to let you know what other modelers like: Tamiya 1/48 F-14D Tomcat. Remember that it is a LIMITED release as announced by Tamiya. One-time-deal, and it's gone. We have more stock
Orochi 1/35 M2/M3 Bradley was a surprised hit. We now realize that this kit includes metal tracks, metal barrel, and it's a GREAT deal
Dora Wings 1/48 Bf.109A/B Legion Condor flew off our shelves. We regretted not taking the entire line, since it's ALL in stock at Kitlinx!
Kitty Hawk 1/48 F-101B Voodoo was also gone by mid-Nationals
The Kitlinx crew was dressed up every day in various military outfits. These outfits were originals or reproductions. We received many compliments from modelers, especially from Veterans or descendants of veterans. Most uniforms are WW II. Aaron and Alyse both belong to re-enactor groups
What did Kitlinx bring back?
We brought so much inventory back to Utah that we had to ship what we brought IN and did not sell by Pallets back to our warehouse, to take the HOT stuff into the trailer
Please look at the website regularly this week as these products are entered in our system
Hot Pre-Orders Alert! These are the hottest Pre-Orders coming in a few weeks! The HK Models 1/32 Lancaster is now announced for October 2018. We saw the first injection pieces at the Nats
This kit from AMK: 1/48 F-14D Super Tomcat does not have a date of arrival yet. The manufacturer is still working the details
