Just came from the local hobby shop and I saw they had the new Revell 2010 Camaro..... FOR 29 BUCKS!!! I know that we're supposed to support local hobby shops but come on guys that's a bit ridiculous. I know everyone hates Walmart but if they were still in the model selling business here in Houston, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up that same kit at a more "reasonable" price. As it were, I put the kit back on the shelf, they won't miss my $29 because they are a full line hobby shop and R/C is their moneymaker. But seriously, why should I treat buying models any differently from anything else that I buy? If store "A" has it at a cheaper price than store "B", then why should I buy at store "B"? And that should apply to anything a consumer would shop for but I know that everyone had some sort of hate/dislike towards Walmart and I never really understood the supposed mentality of it putting the mom n' pop hobby shops out of business. Really? Walmart was gunnin' for small hobby shops by having better prices?? Come on, you'll have to do better than that in order to get me to spend $29 on a domestic 25th scale plastic model kit. Whether I can afford the kit or not is besides the point ( I can) I want to support the hobby and hobby shops as much as I can but this is stretching it a bit isn't it??
