Well. in some communities where WalMart competes with hobby shops for consumer's recreational dollars, it could spell the end of hobby shops. <br /> <br />At one time Tyco made HO race car sets. Tyco made a real sweetheart deal with Kmart. Kmart sold the sets and cars below hobby retailers cost. This effectively killed hobby shop sales of race car sets and accessories. When Christmas was over, the hobby shop owners did not want to buy any more Tyco products because they feared that Kmart would again kill sales of Tyco products. Tyco went bankrupt! <br /> <br />Phil Walthers is gambling with his existing hobby shop business.
