I wanted to start a thread for everyone to post their Black Friday hobby additions. I'm headed to the local hobby shop today to scoop up some weathering supplies to hopefully finish up this 568 road builder I've been working on the last few days.   I finally got the go ahead from management (the wife) to move my hobby stuff into the office and this model was a casualty to the cause but it could have been much worse. It fell about two feet onto the hardwood floor and blew apart about six track links and the top of the cab popped off so it's been on the bench for a minute.

While technically this was not a Black Friday deal, this did come in today, Conrad Komatsu WA250-5. Great model from Conrad, might be my favorite wheel loader model. It is a shame that they only did loaders by Komatsu,would have been interesting to see Conrad do an excavator or dozer from this time period (I believe it came out in 2004).  Can easily load almost all 1/50 dump trucks.  WA250-5 & WA250PT-5 head to head

So far sales have been less than exciting, really no better than the typical mid year sale.

Most of those giveaways were purchased for pennies from another defunct company, TWH. It was no coincidence that TWH and **.co were in the same town.

Thats what got me to thinking about a black friday post. Chuck, do you think we will keep seeing Sword parts for sale or was that a one time over run kind of thing?

HCF - I don't remember offering parts for Sword Models - we normally do not have extras to sell?

I was meaning the east dump axle sets.  Parts like that are hard to come by.
