Is the internet killing our hobby shops?

Rick, <br />Read again in my post why I go to a local hobby shop. It's not just about the shop paying rent, moving to a new location, threatening the landlord or selling bottles of paint. It's about getting to see your stuff run, visiting face to face with guys who know what they're talking about, and visiting with other modellers. You can't do those things on the internet. Well, except here, this is a great place to visit with other modellers... <br /> <br /> It's a social thing, and generally lots of fun. <br /> <br />I find it amusing that anyone would think a hobby shop could make a living selling bottles of paint or items that can't be bought on the internet because the shipping would be too high, or just pull up and move to a better location so they could lower prices. <br /> <br /> <br />m
