Walked into a local Barnes and Noble, and saw the clearance tables were down to 25% of original price. I always expect slim pickings, and wasn't far wrong, certainly compared to the last few clearance cycles. However, I noticed a couple of versions of Gundams, Destiny and Freedom, I think, on the floor. They are 1/144, and described as 'palm models', but for $10 USD or less, might be of interest to the 15mm crowd as small walkers. Not to me; I have a personal problem, a slight aversion to anthropomorphic vehicles, a serious issue as I'm also an anime junkie… However, as you might assume from a cross-post to Spaceship gaming, the kit has a gajillion small parts, many that seem appropriate for kitbashing your own fleets. I've seen some amazing things come out of these experiments, and think everyone who has a B&N close by should probably take a look. Whatever your interests, watch the skies! Doug |

I have a B&N close by, but there are no Gundam models in it. I have to go online or anime conventions for those. And I say that as I stare down that model of the Victory Gundam that I haven't touched yet because I just had to finish that Crossbone Gundam model first. Maybe I can get to the Victory now but the Sinanju beckons. Oh yeah, I have the same problem with Gundam models as I have with miniatures. I'll buy more, even though I have some not finished yet. |

This is an ooooold joke: "When you run out of unpainted minis, you'll die. While you may be safe, have you considered your friends? Your loved ones?" "Give the gift of life. Give pewter." This Message Brought To You By The Arcturian Spaceship Modeling League… |

I have a B&N close by, but there are no Gundam models in it. Same here. Though I did score a D&D 'Legend of Drizzt' boardgame with loads of great plastic minis for $12. USD |

Score! Must be in the 'beast.' Clearance before last, it was several Risk variants, including HALO, Metal Gear Solid, and Mass Effect. Even with the scale skewing all over, that's a heck of a lot of cheap plastic toy soldiers. ;->= I know on the Geek, there's usually a thread following current B&N clearance sales, and pretty good guesses as to when the next drop will happen. Here's hoping some model kits are still there at the $2 USD level. Doug |
