Stormer and A Main are great no doubt but you should also give your LHS a shot as well. That doesn't necessarily mean the closest dealer, my closest shop is owned by someone who is rude and condescending so the only things I'll buy there is hardware and paint, maybe a gear or tires if I'm in a pinch. Not to mention he charges more than MSRP, $6.95 for a part with "5.95" on the cardboard. $7 for a Kimbrough spur that's $4 everywhere else. $170 for a charger that is $140 everywhere. The guy is obviously a scumbag, and giving the hobby a black eye. That shop is about 7 miles from me, however I will drive 15 miles to R.I. because they are good guys and have always treated me right over the years. They are the same price as Tower and I have it in less that a week. Support your LHS so they are still around when you need them.
