Went to my LHS a few weeks ago to buy G2, winter's coming and I didn't want to be as rusty next spring as I was last. I had checked the price at Tower, and thought the shop was a bit high. I'm not one to question what a person needs to get for what he's selling, but I did mention that I thought this was a bit more than I was expecting. Not a real problem, I bought it anyway. Was back in the shop a few days later and was handed a gift certificate for $53! The owner had checked the price and made good. I'll remember that a lot longer than I would have remembered paying a bit much. The shop is Hobby Haven in Urbandale, IA., by the way. Great people to deal with, knowledgeable and helpful.
