well you know, why don't your local hobby store and my local store adapt to the changing times and start a online store that works in conjunction with their brick and mortar store and sell a lot of the specialty items these other online stores sell, I myself have a hard time finding anything i need for 1/4 scale on up in my local store, and just think your local store and mine can be a internet store too and people across the country can order from them if they get some good products!!!
