It will be awesome when I have to pay 100 for shipping on 10, 5 dollar items casue I will have to order them from 10 different places. YAY

Well when a guy comes on here and asks when his hobby shops will get it, obviously his hobby shop is not carrying new cars or is a manufacturer biased guy; I personally see it all the time. I’ve seen local hobby shops here say we have to wait 6 months for one when I have some ready to ship right now. So yes and no, it hurts the hobby shop yes, and no it’s not my fault if the hobby shop doesn’t call us to place and order for them. It makes you know you don’t have to wait 6 months for a car or parts because the manufacturer is a phone call away.
