NYLIBUD Posted January 28, 2018 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 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
440 Dakota Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 yup its Spotlight Hobbies now, I've bought a couple hundreds kits at least from them throughout the years when we used to have big shows here in Toledo
BuilderX Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Yes Its now Spotlight Hobbies. A great place to do business.
NYLIBUD Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Cool,I think the owner is from Buffalo NY.Thanks guys.
moparfarmer Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 When you order from him he not only sends quickly and expertly packaged but if you have a pet and live in the USA you get a pet treat..He's really the best there is to deal with..Go to Spotlight Hobbies forum..Check it out and on his opener he has all for sale..Great guy..

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....

I will definitely check out Spotlight Hobbies though.Thanks for the help guys. 1 hour ago, michaelbaskett said:
