Default towerhobbies alternative?

Does anyone have the site url for the towerhobbies alternative site? Used to have it and lost my old bookmarks. It is the one that is nearly identical to tower hobbies in design and info, probably owned by the same company, but has somewhat lower prices on some things...

it is certainly some affiliation with tower, the exact pages show up, the inventory is the exact same also. No idea why they run two sites like that, anyone else have any insight? (two things I wanted, one was out until mid april, one is early may, on both sites) coupon codes are similar, not the same. omni has free shipping if over $100. Both ship from the same warehouses.

I put together identical orders on both, and ended up being $3 cheaper on omni. (I was over $150, so I could use the $15 off at tower, but pay $7.99 shipping)
