discussion Hiroboy

Do these guys ever have anything in stock??

Ive used them previously for a decal sheet but everytime i visit the site i would estimate that 75%+ is permamently out of stock. Ive even experienced page after page where there has literally only been 1 item available. Has anyone else had this with them, and can anyone recommend a similar company who keep stock? The places ive contacted either have nothing or have to order elsewhere with a 2 month wait.

I second what Steve has said , Media mix always have stock and are my 1st stop when needing after market stuff like decals wiring pe etc , as for hiroboy - being one of the very few UK modelling company`s that import this type of detailing stuff its gone as soon as it comes in because its expensive to import with very little profit GP models are the same , its not worth their while to get huge stocks in , it would be nice if Hiroboy had live stock but hey ho.

I will stick up for Hiroboy though their Zero paints and clear coats are the best out there for cars and bikes , its superb stuff and Hiroboy are known world wide for this , I would think their main profit comes from their Zero products.

if you don`t mind waiting 2-3 days longer than you would normaly do for a uk delivery give Media mix hobby a try they are based in Honk kong they accept paypal they also email you when the goods are in transit also with a tracking number , can`t fault them and a lot better service and quicker than a lot of uk model suppliers that I`ve used in the past.

ive purchased some detail pe sets from GP models but im regretting it now as ive seen the same kits for 30% less from abroad, PLUS i have to wait about 2 months...Ive stopped bothering with hiroboy due to the total lack of stock. Go and check out the site..there are pages where every single item is out of stock, literally every item out of, i dunno, maybe 40 on a page. They must be losing a fortune.

Hiroboy do give us good paint but when I had a problem with lacquer he could have been a little more flexible, but hey ho that's the way it goes. I'd still recommend the products sold though.
