This thread is about posting places for everyone else to check out O/S. Not for you to come and vent your spleen about how your local doesn't support you.
Haven't you lot got it yet the LHS can't compete, move on.
I'm sure the hobby shops will, they will diversify their products that they carry to stay in business and eventually you lot of moaners will have no choice but to buy EVERTHING you need O/S

.. but if no one ever criticises the aus service theres no way that the service will get any better, so this is thread is to constructively 
criticise the local R/C services as well as tell people that are fed up with getting ripped off with dodgey products and poor service the LHS provides.... oh and i never said that you cant say a good thing about your LHS!

Here..Here I concur,
And besides, No ones crying about it. We are actually laughing all the way to the Bank
I will never give my money to profiteers like the Importers or the LHS that are double dipping and making this hobby less accessable to the average person

Hey criticise away, man. I doubt if anyone will actually listen.
As long as you post some actual information that fellow R/Cer's can get some good out of, I really don't care.
It's just that when you see a new post (in here or any forum) you bring it up on the screen looking forward to reading something interesting and informing, only to realise it is some nuff nuff wanting to dribble on about how he can't get this, can't get that.
It usually will turn out to be the same knuckle dragger that wants to rabbit on about the same story over and over again, last week, this week and next week.
Like I said nothing new here, same story.

Like Mitch said he actually created this thread for a reason. Take your crying and name calling somewhere else buddy.
Sounds like our comments are a little close to the bone for you...
Hope i actually get to meet you sometime. I doubt you'll have much to say then

The name of the thread says:
OVERSEAS HOBBY STORE THREAD
In Mitches first post he asked for people to post sites to hit back at LHS. No where did I read come in and have a moan.
I didn't get personal with you or anyone else I used general terms regarding posting or posts by people in general. (IE your choice in the looser tag)
I think you will find most of the uses in here know who I am so I don't believe I'm hiding anywhere.
If you want to get personal, your choice go right ahead.

It does say that he is ticked but all he asked for is for people to post here! (IE LINKS TO O/S STORES)
He may have changed his mind and now wants to complain about LHS but that is not what he asked for in this thread.
Everyone knows your not happy with LHS, who cares you where last week and you will be next week.
They don't want to hear that they want links to look up and places that they can get stuff cheap not some saga about your spur gears.

You are very quick to insult people in a personal manner whenever they disagree with you. Behind your keyboard you try to be some sort of superhero. What's missing in your life? Is your pee pee a bit small? Maybe you have alot of acne?? Not many friends? Girls dont like you?? You like boys?? Whatever it is, you really need to get over yourself because each time you insult people, you confirm some, if not all of what i've just decribed of you.
And you have the hide to critisize LHS's for "profiteering"??
Werent you warned for selling imported goods for profit in the "For Sale" forum?
You would have to be the biggest tool on this forum!

it is getting a little boring....
this is about the 3rd "how cheap are things overseas thread" in the aust'n forum
there is nothing new here except new ways to have a go at other people.... why not use the sledging thread... at least the title would fit the content
