I've only ever been into my LHS once, just before Christmas.
I got a catalog in the mail, and inside was something that caught my eye straight away- a Forces of Valor T34, for $99.
I couldn't resist- had to have it!
While I was there, I noticed they had nothing else to do with tanks- planes, buggies, model trains seem to be all they sell.
Still, I guess I got lucky- I love the T34, and it was something I really wanted.
