I realise that 50 bucks is 50 bucks, but would you regret not spending that 50 bucks if your LHS closed forever? Will they deal with you the same way (since they obviously carry the car and spares) knowing that you bought from somewhere else?
All I'm saying is consider what extra value you will get from those 50 bucks, by spending them at the LHS. Too many have closed already.
I do see what you are saying and I do support local stores whenever possible, but I did just order the Slash 4x4 off of TowerHobbies. It was over $100 cheaper than the LHS with the $50 coupon. I didstop atthe hobby store for info and they said they could have it mid December for $450+tax (The guy last week told me $425 but...). I tried to see if they could work with me and his answer was "I will just sell it to the next customer for that price, we do not haggle prices". So I left and will hopefully find another store close to the area thatwould be able to help if the forums cannot. I doubt it though, these forums and very nice here.
Hopefully I get in in a week or 2 and have Christmas a little early for myself.
