To those of you in Perth, I was down in Rockingham earlier today and called by Games World. Unfortunately the shop was closed as it seems it was flooded sometime over the weekend, so lots of the stock has water damage.

I couldn't get into the shop, but through the window I saw various 1:18 Autoart models (eg Subaru's, Lotus etc) in very soggy boxes. I don't know if any Biante models were affected.

I assume this will be an insurance claim, so perhaps the affected models will be sold off for bargain prices. If your not fussy about the boxes, or just want some models for conversions this may be just the thing. Might be worth checking later in the week when they have themselves sorted out.

Well the James bond Lotus will be fine..............

;) but not a nice thing to happen to our beloved models.

cheers
