  1. I bought my flat screen tv from walmart two years ago and its still working great
  2. Rob- I miss the old days of our LHS and they way that they were, when you walked in you felt welcome, you just didnt feel like a customer, I can not speak for everyone, but for me those days are long gone. I still do shop at my LHS, and I need to check out the one Danno has kept telling me about , but its not for kits really anymore.
  3. I was going to get the paint for the bullitt at HL today, but the lines where all way down the isle's , so I picked up some hunter green at wally world, do you think that will work for the bullitt?
  4. Well GM did just release the camaro in the UK
  5. Dan- I know I keep saying I am going to join, its just been really hard to find any extra time lately. I went to the Hobby Town on 75th ave a few times before they shut down, and IIRC they had maybe 20 auto kits, so I was not sad to see them go. I remember going to Hobby Depot back in 1994, I was 14 when HD was a two isle store , what I remember the most was the owner always had is long barrel , I want to say .44, but could of been a .357
  6. Rob, thanks
  7. Is this kit going to be any different then the concept kits AMT did?, or the same just a newer year?
  8. I havent had a drink in a long time, but all this talk about beer is making want to have one
  9. There was a time where I looked forward to going to hobby stores, it was more about talking with the owners then about buying, but its not like that any more, well at least not for me, and its a shame because I miss that. So now I see our LHS as just another business, and treat them as such. And if some one else is offering what I want at a better price, I am going to buy from who offers the better price. i would love to spend money at my LHS, but if I did , I wouldn't be doing much modeling . Not everyone on here or in the modeling world as ton's of extra income to spend, and I am sorry that it offends some people that some of us like to save some money on our hobby.
  10. But where do you keep the pub?, in the fridge ?
  11. Thats a good idea, just set it a side and go back to it later
  12. I live in the state that is next to new an old Mexico
  13. OMG this has become a train wreck, I am going to get some popcorn
  14. Danno- I keep forgetting that Hobby Bench closed the one in the mall, thats why I was saying three, my mistake, and I forgot about the other one on 59th ? then you have hobby depot in the east valley, does he still have both stores open still or just the one in tempe?. I just give up trying to keep up with all of them. Is one of the gordon hobbies? The only reason why I was only referring to hobby bench is I have not been to any other hobby stores in a very long time, so I can not speak for them or their price's . Just trying to be fair . Also, checked my closest wally world and could not find any models or diecast. And I think Dan is mad at me that I have not join the club yet, I can always mail my info and check to join
  15. Fire! hhhhh, fire! hhhhhh fire!,hhhh, , I have no idea what to tell you, put it away for latter then burn it Edit- just in case no one gets the fire thing, its from beavis and butthead
  16. Double, you are right, I did not even think about the price's, I think the savings is around $5 or so
  17. Patami, got you on list Maltsr, looking good, it almost looks silver in the pics, you are right about the RofG kit I think
  18. And the same kits that Hobby Lobby is selling and Michaels
  19. Double- or main hobby stores , hobby bench, has two full isle's of model car kits, and I think four for planes and boats, the selection is good, but they sell right or just above MSRP, for me to drive to one of them is about a 20 mile trip , give or take a few miles. so then when you figure the gas in , what add another few more dollars. I still go there to get all my supplies, and if I ask nice I can get my G/f to stop on here way home work as she drives right one , for me, I have thought about buying paint and other supplies online, but with shipping its not really worth while yet. I am all for supporting out LHS, but I think a lot people on here dont seem to understand is that not everyone has a LHS that is with in reason, or if they do their price's might be high. I look at this way, the more money i save, means I can just buy more
  20. Phoenix does not have very many LHS, we have three and they are all owned by the same person, and have high price's on kits . And one of the main reason why I dont go there very often is , I live on the out skirts of town, so its almost a 30 min drive, then you consider gas, so that just makes it smarter to buy online , well atleast for me. Plus I dont always have time to make a trip to the LHS. I am not worried about the LHS going out of business anytime soon, they have been around for the last 15 years or longer, the R/C people are keeping them in business
  21. I agree with all that, I dont have money to blow, and have to spend my hobby money wisely , so thats why I buy on eaby and use coupons. I do by all my supplies from my LHS, but when I can get a kit for $10 less on ebay or using a hobby lobby coupon I am going to .
  22. I am going to check my wally world to see if they have any
  23. Chuck, couldnt we take the taillights from the glue kit and put them on the snap?
  24. Mark- I looking forward to seeing how this turns out , I have been holding out on getting the AMT COT kits, I have been thinking about trying to do some Nwide COT using the AMT COT . I saw this build on the NASCAR forurm. The dodge nose is a little tricky to do, I know I had problems getting to look right, remember the headlight area is not as sloped back like on the chevy, and the grill is more square ish, and the top part of grill is sloped back. I hope that makes sense.
  25. Ohh great now I have another mustang kit to do for the 2005-2010 CBP , ,
