Ratch Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I'm afraid you cannot force folks to post here. Some do (in the Acquisitions thread), but it's down to personal choice. I don't buy these Mystery Sets because I have far too big a stash as it is and only tend to buy kits on my wanted list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS1707822779 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 On a slightly different note, is the 12 kits of Christmas a new thing or have they done this in previous years? Quite expensive but curious as to what sort of kits they have - the blurb says a mix of planes and tanks and although I already have a large stash I find myself tempted.

RAS1707822779 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi Grumpy. It is expensive and no real feel for what will be in there. If it is a mix of 1/72 and 1/35 then may be some saving. But a bit of a risk that they may just be combining the ‘standard’ aircraft and tanks mystery boxes into one and people end up with exactly the same recycled kits.

RAS1707822779 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 As a brief update, there is now a YouTube video of someone ‘unboxing’ the 12 Kits of Christmas. To be fair to Airfix, the selection looks really good! I think there was a problem with one kit being missing but Airfix customer services seem to have fixed that pretty well. There is also a glitch where members were not automatically getting the 10% discount but Airfix will refund that. So £135 for over £200 of kits.Tempting!

Christopher-1232661 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Ordered Aircraft Mystery Box today... only received two kits though, Spitfire Mk1a and the P-51. Only two kits shown on the dispatch note too. I did order another separate item at the same time (though not a kit) which also arrived so I'm thinking that they thought 'there's three things there so that looks fine...). Have emailed them to see what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirportsEd Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I noticed that the Aircraft Mystery Box has been out of stock for a while but thought it was probably due to the pre-Christmas rush. I'd be interested to hear what 3rd kit is eventually supplied to resolve this one.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher-1232661 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 So af few days after posting the above I found a rather poorly contrusted email with the subject of 'Ticket submitted' or something similar in my junk email that turned out to be from Airfix that arrived the day after my order saying words to the effect of 'we don't have any Hawk T1As in stock so here's a refund of £10.50'. The email looked as though it was in response to a message I'd sent to them (which I hadn't yet) with the actual relevant information buried below (actually in another message) so no wonder neither me, nor ,my spam filter relaised it was legit. The message made no reference to the Mystery Box order and just looked like I'd ordered a Hawk.All in all rather poor comms from Airfix. And they didn't respond to my query asking what the deal was with only sending two kits so as far as they are concerned the matter is closed. What I find a tad annoying it that they wrote in the message 'if we can be of any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact us.' - well I did... and you ignored me. I think I'll stick to buying through third-parties if this is how they are when things go wrong. First world problem though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
