    Wow, only about 45 mins from me, I can take M50 straight out. Edit: From their website it looks like their prices are a LITTLE high. Do they have any aftermarket stuff?
  2. JamesW
    Hmm, where's this? Might have to look it up.
  3. JamesW
    Heck no. Cheaper than a 1/24-1/25 kit. LOL Now I just need to find aftermarket wheels to fit it.

    Since we were in Lansing this morning for the lil one's surgery, I decided to look up the nearest Hobby Lobby. It was 10 miles away so we swung by. Hadn't actually intended on picking anything up, but I found this on the top shelf, outer plastic gone, but everything in the box sealed in bags. Found the manager and asked him about a discount. He looks it up and says "Well, it's originally $59.99, so how does $20 sound?" What else could I say but DEAL? Couldn't pass it up at $20. Mailman also dropped these 2 off from jimnohio.

    I've had to do it a couple times for actual missing parts from the sealed kit. The first time they wanted to charge me shipping. I asked them why I should pay $15 shipping for a couple of parts that were missing from a sealed kit and they waived the charge and just sent the parts, and they were here within a week.

    It's from Ron Andrews over at Resin Motor Replicas. It's a VERY nice piece with minimal flash. He's got a few more I'll be getting in the future.

    Yes, but that kit is being re-released.

    I agree with Don Mills being the best. It's actually to scale, and for 2 sheets it's priced right. Bought quite a few from him.

    Well said Drew. My not so local LHS in Ypsilanti is open Wed-Sun (closed Mon and Tues). They're a Mom-N-Pop shop so I totally get why they're not open 7 days a week. . John usually builds while he's there, so he uses his days off to spend with family.

    Custom made brush guard, chassis, engine and interior from AMT Escalade EXT.

    But, here's an example. The LHS in Ypsilanti got in the snap AMT Chevy Dooley Street Machine, anyone eBay shopping knows how the prices get. He had it for $25, held it for me for almost 3 months (car issues, didn't want to drive out of town til it was taken care of). When I did FINALLY make it up there, he knocked another 10% off my purchase. I also got the Tamiya Skyline GTR with BOTH sets of detail up parts for $32. Had $100 worth that day, only cost me $90. He's got 2 of the Johan Rambler Wagons, sealed, for, IIRC, $50 each. His prices on vintage/oop kits are much better than eBay or any other online vendor I've seen. I still do a LOT of shopping on eBay though.

    Yes, but as I said, they're great people and I love going in there and talking to them. Plus, in most cases, they're prices are lower than internet prices. It costs me MAYBE $20 in gas round trip. It's nice to get out of the house once in a while instead of sitting in front of my computer.

    The selection at my LOCAL hobby shop has dwindled to almost nothing over the last few months. I'll take a trip to Ypsilanti at least once a month, I would go more but it's an hour drive, one way. They don't have a HUGE selection, but they do have some OOP kits and I love talking/visiting with them, just GREAT people. If I'm looking for a specific kit that they don't seem to have he'll get on the internet right then and see if he can find it.

    The 1274's ARE 19's. If you're looking to make them 23's you need the 2399 sleeves.

    What REALLY peaks my curiosity........................................... How much crack did he actually have to smoke before he came up with this idea?
