Hobbies are offering their latest handbook free of postage in the UK.

Ok, you can see all the stuff online and they aren't always the cheapest but it's really nice to be able to leaf through a traditional modelling catalogue and look at all the goodies. And at £4.25 it costs less than many magazines.

Bought one for many, many (a lot) years(Hobbys as well), following on from my late father, but lately have relied on internet searches. Maybe give it another go. Thanks for the info.

If you don't mind paying £7.15 you can still get one ?

Nordlys · « **Reply #6 on:** January 17, 2022, 04:43:11 pm »

Don't think I'm likely to do that!

That's since this morning I think! Maybe they'll get some more in.

..To be fair on Colin I saw his post here and on modelboats.co.uk. Both shortly after he posted and they were deinately in stock at the time of posting, it's not Colin's fault if they sold out after.

Oddly the 2 outside UK postage options are in stock and will let you go through the checkout process

Must be something to do with EU quotas or something

There may be separate print runs for the different editions. There is a lot of specific purchasing and payment information and maybe the non UK editions are priced in different currencies.
I should think that if the demand is there they will run off more UK version copies.

Thanks for posting about the Hobbies catalogue Colin. I have registered for an update when new stock arrives.
Having to wait a but longer is not an issue at all.

It's 10:21am and it's "Out Of Stock" again and I didn't even get a message to say it was available again !

They must be a victim of their own success.

I got lucky then at 8.45am! Well, I hope so!
I had a feeling it would run out again,

Maybe they found one down the back of the sofa...
