Sounds great Steve!
I've visited Melbourne twice in the past 5 years, and have had the pleasure of meeting up with some of the local collectors when visiting CAM. Looking forward to the next visit!! |

I have enjoyed meeting some of the SYD collectors when I have been there and they are a great opportunity to share our hobby. (All thanks to the motivation of the youngling Abraxas!)
I am looking forward to this Saturday when the ADL collectors get together for the first time. Looking forward to the beer also because it is going to be hot this coming weekend. I was surprised to find out how many ADL collectors there are and they keep popping out of the woodwork. Let's see where this will take us. |

As for the taxi fare, I just paid what was stated on the meter plus the taxes. So nothing I could really argue. If the taxi driver took a longer route, honestly, I would not have known. I'm hoping to be back to Sydney sometime later this year & maybe try the tarmac tours. |

Andrew,
Does that mean there is a MH DC-10 in the current livery on the way and potentially a Garuda too?? I'll be up for those if it's a yes. Last edited by QFA388; 03-04-2008 at 12:33 AM. |

I Remember those first malaysia DC-10 coming to Adelaide in the current colours so would be a significant addition to my and many other collectors collections that I am sure.

Recycling the post AGAIN!
Sydney collectors, let's start planning our next meet. (Yep, we already had one this year at Sydney airport where 2 of us showed up!). So, let's collate some ideas on a place, time, and who's coming etc so we can make a go of this. Looking forward to your ideas, and meeting some new people too. Dan

I would love to join in Dan but sadly it will be a while before I get back to SYD.
Work is keeping me in ADL and keeping me delightfully insaner than I already am. |

Thanks guys for the rallying! We didn't do too bad last year with Unicorn, QFA388 and myself being the regulars on the two Hobbyco occassions. We were hoping for a few to come spotting at the airport, but maybe we picked the wrong day.
Tim, let us know when you start coming back. I'll be sure to let you know when/if I go to Adelaide at some point ![]() Sydneysiders, we got plenty of collectors, would be great to get us all together. Dan

The range in Hobbyco QVB has been a little poor lately - does anyone else think that ?

Yes, its piss poor because the staff there are also.
The guys at Rhodes do a much better job with limited space. That said, I would be happy to meet people at the QVB for a meet. Unicorn

What's even more infuriating is that they expect customers to buy models in such a poor condition from them !! The staff over there would probably never imagine that there're alot of people out there who treasure those little and delicate toys so much that they avoid touching them fearing that they would left fingerprints on the models. |

It is really difficult to get someone to serve you. The guys up there always seem to fussing over R/C cars etc - not that there is anything wrong with that but at least put the planes with the model trains!!!
The cabinets seem disorganised and I was in there the other day and ready to make a purchase and walked out with nuthin! Rhodes is far better - they seem to still hold the new releases and the display is more compact and interesting - staff there are not so bad. The store at Macarthur Sq is excellent also - great selection and always has new stock as its so far away nobody buys there!!! Oh - Toms Hobbies at West Ryde is now stocking a few more models - mostly 1:500 but there is a few nice items there.

I had my first QVB visit last weekend, and I saw the BA B727 3-set there, but they had stacked them so badly I couldn't make out the price. After hovering and oscilating around the cabinet for ages, right next to one of the staff members who was doing 'something' except serving customers, I went up to the desk to one of the staff who was talking with another one.
The guy knew nothing about planes, but he did let me find out the price. $97.30 for three B727's!?!?!??! Then he went on to say how he liked the Union Flag livery, but it reminded him of the USA!? WTF!? Aih... I didn't take the models, I could get them for $65AUD from ebay :| He went back to the counter to make sure the other staff member had the 1/200 display of Wooster Qantas models looking pretty. I prefer Rhodes, and I'll get them to order stuff in from the city store if I have to now I think... I dunno, city's a long way to go! Anyway, back on topic... where does everyone want to meet then? And when... We've got one vote for Hobbyco QVB... if we go there, I'd hope it'll be a weekend then. Dan

I been with Dan to Rhode last time, haven't been to Hobbyco in QVB but the
way you guys describe it sound pretty bad business. As for the meet up where ever and when ever if i'm free i'll be there. Wouldn't mind the International airport seeing those birds landing and taking off. A fully sick place to meet up and chat!, if we go there must hat along, got sunburn last time . |
