ModelZone Gone Into Administration!

[PGowdy]

Toy seller/supplier ModelZone seem to have gone into administration. They're someone i was looking at to start getting some Gentle Giant stuff from as they were one of the only UK sites to stock them. They were also way cheaper than anyone selling gentle giant products at a huge mark up on ebay or anywhere else for that matter.
They pretty much had them all and i know Liam recently ordered a Giant Yoda and Gamorrean Guard from them. But when i checked their site today i found it has been closed and taken over by Deloitte. Bit of a shame.

Such a shame, model shops are becoming few and far between. I remember our local model shop in Harrow, best model shop ever, proper traditional one packed with stuff from floor to ceiling. Where I got a lot of my modern stuff when I collected modern.

Hey Pete.

I heard about this only a few hours after the news broke a few Fridays back.

I was straight on to the phone and after hours on hold etc :x I was told they are trying to complete all existing orders on record but obviously not taking any more. Being as I was told originally that I should receive my order in the first few weeks of July I am hopeful of receiving my Items, But Rest assured if I don't receive them in the next fews days I will be straight on the phone! :evil: :twisted:

Yes as you guys say Its such a shame there prices on the GG stuf were VERY Reasonable

Yeah, i wanted to get a Yoda and Gam Guard. Not sure where to go to get them now. There is an actual ModelZone shop near Tottenham Court Road (London), i may pop in and see if they have them in store.
