2023's Best Sellers
In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 we reported on the best selling models for the year. Last year I had big discounts on the DeAgostini models so they ended up dominating the top 10. When those were dropped out Albatros was on top thanks to their US Navy series. This year? Read on to see.... #11 ALK 515 Hainan Because of the three way tie at #8 I pushed out to the 11th place to start. That went to the very nice Albatros model of a Chinese amphibious ship. These quickly sold out, I got a second batch and they quickly sold out again....
2022's Best Sellers
In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 we reported on the best selling models for the year. Last year featured a mix of Saratoga and Albatros models plus a couple of inexpensive models from Atlas and DeAgostini. For 2022 I had clearance prices on all the DeAgostini models. As a result 70% of the top 10 models would be DeAgostini releases. In fact they would competely dominate the top 50. So you'll get two lists. The first will be the top 10 with DeAgostini and Atlas included. The second will be only the German produced 1/1250s. Top 10 with DeAgostini and Atlas: #10. ALK 705...
2021's Best Sellers
In 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 we reported on the best selling models for the year. Last year featured a mix of inexpensive DeAgostini models and American ships by Saratoga, Rhenania Junior and California Models. What sold in 2021? Here is the overall top 10 list: #10 American Amphibious Ship Whidbey Island by Albatros One of the big surprises of 2021 was Albatros starting to release modern US Navy ships. Whidbey Island was the second release toward the end of the year and initial stock quickly sold out which kept it from placing even higher on the list. More stock to come for those that missed her...
2020's Best Sellers
In 2017, 2018 and 2019 we reported on the best selling models for the year. Last year featured two Spider Navy releases combine with a bunch of budget models from makers like Atlas, DeAgostini and Eaglemoss. In a year like no other what ruled the sales charts in 2020? Here were the top 10: #9 (Tied) French Battleship Richelieu by DeAgostini #9 (Tied) American Battleship Arizona by DeArgostini #6 (Tied) German Battleship Bismarck by DeArgostini We start with three of the budget DeAgostini models. The first two represent spots 9 and 10 and Bismarck is part of a three way tie for the 6, 7...
2019's Best Sellers
In 2018 and 2017 we reported on the best selling ship models for those years. In 2017 the focus was on warships. 2018 had mix that featured mostly lower priced models with two Atlas ocean liners included. What about 2019? As with previous years I have limited the list to ship models and the results reflect only what was sold by 1250Ships.com. With that in mind here are the top six sellers of 2019: #6. American ammunition ship Mount Hood by Spider Navy I extended out to #6 this year because there was a tie for the fourth spot. Also because...
