I am lucky the nearest LHS is roughly 3 miles away, he has a good selection of stuff and if I ever need anything he orders it without hesitation. The next one is 25-30 miles away, but the last time I went his focus is now more R/C and trains. Then if I feel up to it, I can drive an hour or so south of me and go to the Hobbytown USA in Schenectady/Colonie, NY. That Hobbytown is great but, I always spend way to much when I go so I limit it to one or two trips a year.
