I live within a reasonable driving distance from a couple of local hobby shops. Only one of these would i consider buying from on a regular basis due there slightly lower costs and greater selection. Still, in the last few years have been forced to buy from .com websites due to their low costs. I like most people am very limited on budget (being a recent college graduate). I don't want to see all the local hobby shops disappear but it's tough to justify paying a premium for each and every item I purchase when the differences are so extreme. One must be careful however, when purchasing from .coms. I have had very troubling experiences with several of these online dealers. By this I mean I didn't get all the items shipped to me that I was charged for. Then I would get a run around after calling them asking for a credit for these items. It took me months with several of these websites before I got my credit. I can highly recommend these two websites as I've had no problems with them whatsoever: < www.toytrainheaven.com > and < www.1stplacehobbies.com >. On top of all this they are virtually always the low price leaders!
