Well, last weekend I picked up an Iron Maiden and a Pirate skull.
Ollies has a bunch of the Lindberg stuff on sale cheap. I almost grabbed the other two torture kits, but didn't have a lot of cash on me, so I held off. Even though they were only $7.99 each.

Working on the Mobius/PL Michael Myers which was my most recent purchase.The fit is amazing.This is the first new styrene kit I have ever built.I have been working my way through the monster repops and the fit on some of those was terrible!Looking forward to the newer PL kits as well as the Mobius and Monarch kits.

Well I broke down and and bought the HUGE Pegasus M.L.E.V 5. Love space stuff. Impressive it is! Don't ask where it can be displayed! But we buy first and worry about the little stuff later, right?

My biggest buying has been a LOT of WWII stuff so I won't list any because that's less popular on this forum. Gotta smell the toluene!

Ooooo!
That MLEV5 is beautiful. There was one in the contest last year at WF.
Too big and expensive for me, but it is a great looking kit.

Picked up the Squadron Hannebau II Saucer at my LHS this weekend. Their price was $63.99 and they were having a 20% off sale Saturday so I got it for about $51 - Man what a big kit!!!!

Ah, good price! What's your take on it? Good detail, crisp molding, parts count, etc.? My only issues is 14" is hard to display on 12" shelf. Will be getting one I'm sure though.

Detail is really good. Moldings are very well done- and quite a few parts. I haven't taken all the parts out of the box yet and spread it out. It is big, will take up a lot of space. I also have the Pegasus Hannebau kit. It is in 1/44 scale - half the size. It will fit on a shelf a lot easier! Not as much detail but a nice kit as well.

BTW the Squadron kit is well worth the higher price as well - the extra 20% off was icing on the cake. It was in the shop a couple days before the sale - they only had the one so was surprised it was still there by the time I got to my LHS Saturday to get it.
