Has anyone got theirs yet?

This thing is massive! It reminds me of the old Sears Christmas catalog in size and wow factor. I showed Mrs. Gator and she gave me the eye roll.

I get the flyer each month, but haven't sprung for the full blown catalog.

I remember those days waiting for the Sears Christmas catalog.

I haven't gotten their catalog in a couple of years. They used to send it out to their regular customers along with the flyers for free. I have old catalogs dating back into the early 90's (wished I had saved all the ones I got in the 70's and 80's). I still get the flyers, and that is more than enough. If I am looking for something, they have an excellent search engine at their web site. Generally though, their prices are significantly higher than what I can get them elsewhere for (Great Models or Luckymodel). So if you want to spend money for a pretty picture book, well hey it's your dime, As for me, I'll spend my dime on a kit or paint or something.

I went over to Squdron's web site looking to see if they had the 350 Kongo on preorder (they don't) but did find something interesting. Bronco models is releasing a 35th scale German Wasser-Schleper. Their pre-order price is $90. If you don't know what this is, go check it out it is an interesting vehicle sort of looks like a cabin-crusier boat with tracks
