NYLIBUD Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Does anybody know if Hobby Heaven is still operating?I googled them,but found nothing.I remember the owner used to mail out a huge list of models,all with descriptions.Some built,but mostly unbuilt model cars.

bismarck Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I think they changed the name to Spotlight Hobbies. FAST shipping, good service, and not a bad selection either. I've purchased several kits there, haven't found anything bad to say. Edited January 28, 2018 by bismarck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be thinking of someone else.... Tom Carter ( Spotlight Hobbies ) is from Grand Rapids Michigan.... He is probably the most honest guy in the hobby today to deal with.... Check him out, you won't be sorry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
