I too have realized that at my LHS that the prices of the revell kits are gettin' a little high. I can still go to Micheals and get one for around $11.00-$12.00 with a coupon. However i still would rather go to my LHS and get them, because of there variety. Micheals only has revell kits and paint. The LHS has fujimi, taimya, pegasus, BMF, and ect. so even if Micheals has a better deal i'll still support the local economy.
