Where do you folks prefer to buy yours?

I got some more kits that I asked for for Christmas last year, but it seems like some of the websites could care less about customer service. Took weeks to get 'em in.

Brick and mortar stores are drying up around here. We have one hobby shop that's more dedicated to R/C and railroads with a very small selection of plastic models.

Hobby Lobby seems to have a good, if limited, amount of supplies. I've bought a lot there. The actual model selection, though, is very limited.
 
Hay robert . I get all kits used ( Unopen ) but some times i get them already done and take them apart and ether use them for parts Or redo them . As for paint and glue I Have a hobby lobby In town for that . I use the doller cans of spray paint for the bodies . for the chrome You can get a chrome Pin from any wal mart . :hello2:

EBAY EBAY EBAY ....they are evil because they have everything and it comes to your door....

i prefer that over any store ...my nearest hobby store is 2 and half hours away in Denver, Co.....problem is that they are not always open and their prices are higher then ebay.

on ebay you get sellers competing and the best offer button come in handy and ebay is never closed ....i have made orders at 2 a.m. from my laptop while in the bathroom BWAHAHHAHHAHAA ahhhh the freedom
 
the amount of kits available on Ebay is sooooo vast I just spent almost an hour looking at a ton of them .....there are kits available that I never thought possible :D

and in an hours time I bet I only scratched the surface
