Any known online Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

[Chris in Berwyn]

Hi, does anyone know of any sites that will have sales this weekend (Thanksgiving)?  I need to load up in a few kits and if I can get them at a discount that would be great!

I would be surprised if Atlantis didn’t have some kind of sale in the next few days - they have almost weekly 10% off coupons and less frequent 20-40% off deals.

Round 2 has a few kits on Amazon marked down from the usual $35-40 to 33% off too right now (maybe with more to come when it actually IS Black Friday)

I find general tools are a product more likely to get discounted to must-have levels…paint brushes, airbrushes, digital calipers - last year I got an ultrasonic cleaner (which is super useful for all kinds of modeling projects)…stuff like that.

Sprue Brothers, Squadron to name a couple…

Just about any place you can think of.  Auto World has a "BOGO" sale on kits.

Atlantis is doing a free mystery kit with any $50 purchase;

I KINDA wanna order something just to see what the kit is…but I’ve been spending like a drunken sailor lately.  

If anyone DOES take them up on this I’d be curious to see what you get!

Stupid auto correct 

Apologies to any inebriated sailors out there tho - no negative inference was intended ?

Oh that's just fine for the drunken sailors,  but what about us milkmen?  Guess we don't count! ?

I think the preferred term now is “Dairy Product Delivery Specialists” ?

Autocorrect has gotten really obnoxious lately. It doesn't ask if you want to change it just does it!!

It doesn't really have much of a vocabulary either, apparently having been programmed by the largely ignorant and illiterate.

What else is new?

If you are on FB (I know not everyone is so please hold your comments) then you would see many of the aftermarket companies were doing BF/CM specials. Not sure if MCM would allow them to advertise here but might be a consideration for next year given how this is the target audience.
