All the items listed with a * at the end were on my pre-show shopping list, the rest were 'impulse buys'. I think you'll agree that was a successful shopping trip! It looked like all the retailers present were doing brisk trade, with plenty of money changing hands. The show also 'felt' busier than the last few years which I hope is a sign that the event is continuing to grow and that the industry is thriving, even in these tough economic times. I'd be interested to see any figures that might come out to support this view.
All in all Salute 2012 was a roaring success from my perspective. I had a great time, bought everything I wanted, met up with lots of interesting people and saw some truly amazing demo games. Not bad for a one day show.
So you're into Flames of war then?^^ Glad you had a great time, I forgot to stock up on Testors which I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteGood Loot
ReplyDeleteVery impressive haul!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stuff! Hope the Mrs doesn't read your blog!
ReplyDeleteThankfully no...
DeleteMoney well spent Lee, that's quite a haul!!!
ReplyDeleteYeh, when I laid it all out to photograph it I was amazed how much I'd bought. Of course I justified the purchases by adding up all the show discounts and the P&P I saved by buying it at the show... telling the wife "I saved £50" sounds a lot better than "I spent £250"!
DeleteI bought the testors and the green stuff too. insane amount for 6£.
ReplyDeleteIt was so cheep I almost took the 4 packs for £20 offer...then I did a reality check. One pack will last me years (possibly decades) at the rate I use it. Four packs would just be OCD!
DeleteBut what about a nuclear war or zombie pandemic? How easy would green stuff be to get then Lee? You need to think of these things.
DeleteA splendid haul and clearly you showed a modicum of restraint with the impulse purchases- I wish I could say the same!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous haul Lee :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a decent amount of stuff but clearly you behave like a good boy... wait to see the photos in my blog of some of my mates leaving through the door... I still do not understand how they could pack all those toys in their suitcases!!
ReplyDeleteahhh, yes, now we are talking... the show is just an excuse ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhy not the PSC sdkfz 251 by the way?
Looks like you picked up quite the nice haul there. A;so glad to see somebody brought some Field Works scenery. I thought their stuff looked really good.
ReplyDeleteYeh. I bought two pieces and they just need a little bit of work (flocking the base, maybe a wash here and there). I like the fact that not only are the roofs removable but also the floors which gives them a lot of flexibility. I also thought their 15mm stuff was spot on scale-wise...some other 15mm buildings I have bought in the past looked much too small when I got them home.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think they're worth it. You're right about a lot of scenery not quite looking 'right' at 15mm scale as well. Not quite sure why that is but I think it has something to do with the even greater exaggerated effect bases can have at that scale. Who knows I could be talking out of my bum!!! Any way glad you like your swag. :)
DeleteLook forward to seeing all these make an appearance on here
ReplyDeleteA good looking haul there. Also looked at the fieldworks stuff, but not entirely to my taste, prefer less bombed out, more sci-fi things. Still good looking though.
ReplyDeleteSALOOT surely?
ReplyDeleteAh, I didn't see the Testors at Antoneciti's! One of the main things I was after and failed to get hold of.
ReplyDeleteGood loot from the looks of it.
