I went to Andy's this afternoon. The Store was pretty well picked over with about a dozen each NINAK's, DH.9's, DFW, early and late and U.S. Salmson's, he had a couple of Halberstadts, two Gotha G.1's, about a half dozen each AEG's both early and late and one Felixstowe, F.2a, Late. As I drove an hour and a half from Florence AZ up the 10 to 17 to his store in north Glendale; I ended leaving with Felixstowe and a Postwar NINAK. I was hoping to snag an Albatros B.II but he told me he only got a few of those and they were gone early on Wednesday. He said that there were a few folks lined up at the door on Wednesday but once the store opened, it was bedlam and pandemonium (my words) as sales were hot and brisk. He told me this morning the Websales sold out of the "Goodies" within the first four minutes. I went on at 1010 and was shocked, shocked I say at what was marked as "Sold out"! I was a bit surprised because at the model shows here in southern Arizona one only sees a few WNW kits and I know who the modelers are, there is a husband and wife team from Tucson, me and one or two others, so to see this much "excitement" over the WNW delivery at Andy's was a bit surprising. Anyway. It was an interesting day and my bank account is now a little lighter but Andy was adamant to keep the prices at MSRP. He is a good guy and what you see on the videos is pretty much how he is. I don't go there a lot as it's a long arduous drive but about three times my buddy and I make the Trek up there. He is always welcoming, the prices are reasonable, he is well stocked and of course there is Andy holding court behind the counter pontificating on the status of plastic modeling in the 21st century and his latest ventures.
