Re: Minichamps M1A2 how is it? review?

Well I visited the local Minichamps shop(and sole local distributor of Minichamps) at plaza Semanggi(Collector's corner, next to XL cellular customer service center on 1st level) but the shopkeeper was a cocky man who wouldn't wait on me. Anyway their collection of Minichamps were very few: two Panthers, two to three T-34/76s and an SdKfz 251(or was that a Dragon). There was no Sherman nor M1A2 nor T72 nor Leo2A4 in the shop. I asked whether Minichamps' tank hatches were openable and he answered no and I should get Franklin Mint instead if I want openable hatches. I asked where I could get Franklin Mint tanks and he answered lightly through the internet. When I answered back that I just couldn't transact over the internet he chuckled and said that if I wanted to collect them I would have to. I should have probably answered back :"Well so what the hell is your store is for?" I also asked for the shop business card and he said he ran out of them. Pathetic shopkeeper is a nightmare not only for the prospective customers but especially for the shop

owners.

The shop keeper is right in what he saying if you want to buy most of the minichamps tank range then your need to buy of the net & ebay as most of the minichamps range as been sold out long time ago & is going up in price
