[Trucklover]

Hi guys, i just wanted to let you guys know if anyone is interested that Walthers is haveing a HUGE sale on there Cornerstone Module System kits. Normal retail is $9.98 per kit, SALE for $2.98!!

I kinda went crazy and bought a ton of them LOL, but i only spent $77.48 (plus $8.98 shipping of coarse lol)

Here is what i got:

933-3720 ~~ Peaked Roof and Base ~~ 3 kits
933-3721 ~~ Flat Roof and Base ~~ 3 kits
933-3723 ~~ Large Walls and Windows ~~ 3 kits
933-3724 ~~ Foundations and Loading Docks ~~ 4 kits
933-3725 ~~ Wall Columns and Caps ~~ 4 kits
933-3727 ~~ Large Door Wall Sections ~~ 3 kits
933-3730 ~~ Walls w/Vehicle Doors ~~ 3 kits
933-3735 ~~ Walls w/Single Windows (Metal Sash) ~~ 3 kits

25 kits in total LOL. I plan to build these and make some custom buildings out of them, large, medium and small in size, and then sell them to make a little money that i desperately need (out of a job for almost a year now ) The hard part was finding enough money to pay for them lol

Just wanted to let anyone know who is interested that these are on sale and now is the time to pick them up if you want some cheap buildings lol

Now's the time to get 'em if you want 'em. Walthers is discontinuing the whole modular series. I have no idea why since I think they are pretty nifty but apparently not enough other customers thought so.

Hmmmm that sucks, well maybe ill be buying some more of them lol

Ive never built them before, but they look great and easy to build and combine, well we will see lol

This is the second time i have seen these discounted at dirt cheap i think, i seem to remember a while ago Walthers did them at a similar price for a limited time, but i cant remember for sure.

Its a shame Walthers discontinues so much stuff like these, i understand if they discontinue it because they have improved the old one and made a new more detailed better one, but just dropping the series entirely just does not make sense to me....

Josh, for all I know, Walthers may be coming out with a different style of module system. All I know is the current style is being discontinued, according the CSR I spoke to yesterday.

I thought these were great. I can only hope they have improved them and are dumping the "old" ones.

Now, where's my wallet???

While I was looking at the sweet deals I found this. http://www.walthers.com/exec/bargain When did they start this? wish I had some extra cash I would pick up some of the DCFC's.

I have to agree that it's a shame Walthers is discontinuing their modular series. I've picked up a few here and there... haven't built anything yet, but they do look like they'll build up into some pretty good buildings.

Over the years, I've noted that many manufacturers have a product for a while, then discontinue it. I understand that at some point, market saturation is reached and they won't sell enough to keep them in production. But you'd think something as generic and as customizable as their Modulars series would continue to sell well enough to keep it in production.

DPM (now owned by Woodland Scenics) keeps going -- although they haven't added any new "parts" for a while...

Looks like I'm going to have to lobby the family C.F.O. (i.e,. the Missus) for an increase in "hobby dollars" and pick up some more of the Walthers Modulars while they're still available!!
