Title: WETA WNW 20% sale
Post by: macsporran on March 08, 2018, 11:01:54 AM
I see there's a sale on over at Weta at the moment, which might be of interest for those whose customs people won't stick an even bigger surcharge back on!

No good for us in UK - they're cheaper locally - but they did have some Albatros Jasta trilogies a wee while ago......

Sits down quickly as the stampede starts!

I took advantage of the sale and some Weta bucks I had to get the Albatros trilogy for a really great price.

Thanks for that heads up. One Albatros Jasta 5 Green Tail trilogy boxing now winging its way to Australia! The 20% off sale is very attractive. Camels are now around $A80.

when i load the Weta Albatrio page it shows it as all three warehouses.

as if this sale wasn't temptation enough, anyone who missed out on the Hannover CL.II could pick one up on Rakuten:

I could not resist the temptation and got myself a trilogy.....

promissed myself sometime ago that I could very well without it, but money- and sell contol are not my strong poiits! the only good thing is that it is only 1 box, makes it easier to slip by SHMBO.....

But maybe the sadest thing is I now will have over 20 options to chose from as I have also a Pheon sheet lying around... perhasp another boxing of that trilogy might be needed (or 2 or 3 or....)

Yesterdaymorning WETA offered the Junkers D.I for 51 €uros, too. I was „very close“ to ordering one, but I took to long to decide. Now they have it listed for the usual 64 €uros again. Alas!

I was going to buy one, no US but from NZ shipping showed, the next day no US or NZ but EU shipping showed.  Website may not be updated, but shipping calculator knows where they have stock.

at 2 PM Bangkok time i could order the Albatrio from NZ. some indecisiveness and a nap, and at 10 pm now NZ is sold out.
Title: Re: WETA WNW 20% sale
Post by: Jeff K on March 10, 2018, 01:50:09 AM
by 10: 48 pm, i had ordered another Albatrio, which would have cost me US$30 less in shipping had i done so at 2pm.

of course, it would have cost me $194 less to not order at all...

i can resist anything. except temptation.

I saw that too, but with the Camel fiasco, will not preorder from them.

During this sale the Albatros Trio showed shipping to me (US) from NZ, then EU, then strangely pre-order from US, and now Out Of Stock.

The delay was irritating, but in the end  I got a Camel Squadrons book to ease the pain. I can live with delays like that.

Could not longer resist....

If you guys don't hear from me longer than a week, please call the police, because my wive was not amused and now my rotting corpse is lying in the dungheap or is hidden in a false wall in our cellar. ;D ;)

Oh, YES! This sounds good., Bertl. Somewhere in Canada or Sweden next to a lake. We can go fishing, hunting and have an exta House just for our Kits and desks. Some extra flats for fellow modelers, that wish to visit us.....
Dreams can be so easy...

yep.

Now as they promised they're doing their inventory. My Albatrilogy arrived today... When the Biff and the Roland D.VIb arrive that's five victories for me from this sale. I'm a discount ace :P
