Tonioseven Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 One of the best hobby shops around. I hate to see him close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yeah, I guess I have to move to Model Roundup. It looks very good, but still it's a shame that Model Express is closing-it will be missed. That Model Empire USA looks good too, thanks. Never heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I wonder if there's going to be a huge on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 That really, uh, cant say it. Very sad, I've done a lot of business with Dennis and he is the best. I just bought 2 of the DTR 32 ford kits from him this week, at a bit over half the price they normally get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar68 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So sad to see this store closing down Always great service and even better (if that's possible) prices. You will be sorely missed. All the best in your next journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalenut Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) guys, can some of you quit referring to the creator of this thread as "them" .. the owner posted this thread directly he is speaking to "you" his name is "Dennis" and I am sure "he" is reading the replies.and appreciates the support Edited October 20, 2012 by scalenut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that another hobby outlet closing is not good, especially when they have built a reputation as being a great place to do business with.

imarriedawitch Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 guys, can some of you quit referring to the creator of this thread as "them" .. the owner posted this thread directly he is speaking to "you" his name is "Dennis" and I am sure "he" is reading the replies.and appreciates the support I think you have misunderstood. I started the thread and posted what was on the Model Express website. I have nothing to do with Model Express other than being a multiple, 100% satisfied customer that will miss them dearly like the rest of the hobby.

Mr mopar Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wow this is bad news, I personally know Dennis a super nice guy and he only lives 4-1/2 hour down the road. But I can see why this is shipping from Canada is so expensive , and the model car and truck market is so soft and a lot of us guy's are getting older just don't have the time anymore or the health . Dennis my friend I hope what ever you do it works out for you and I'll see you at the car shows this summer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I, like others in this thread, was very sorry to hear that Dennis was closing up shop. As a Canadian buying from the US can be difficult at times so having a mail order shop like Model Express in Canada with its excellent selection of kits at reasonable prices has been very fortunate for me. While I may have lots of Dennis's kits in my stash to build in the coming years I'll certainly miss his excellent service and the unusual kits that often showed up on his site.

Jim B Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've delt with Dennis a couple of times, and always had positive results. I guess all good things must come to an end. Anyway, I've heard good things about these guys: http://www.scalehobbyist.com/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJames Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 This is terrible news and I'm saddened to hear it. I've been buying from Dennis for the last two years, in fact my first online buys for models were through him! The prices, selection of kits and shipping times were always great but most of all it was the customer service. He'd always answer random questions I had or hold on to an item here and there until my next pay. Wish him nothing but the best in his next venture in life!

PatW Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Well I've bought stuff from Dennis. He's always helpful although very far away! I must look at the site before we loose it altogether. All the best Dennis in your new venture whatever it may be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
