About 8 years ago, I remember visiting this hobby shop in Subic Bay. Do you guys know if it's still there, and if so, the address?

Last year (April) napunta ako dyan eh. As always, hobby shops ang hinahanap ko. Wala na ata according to some people there. Or maybe they don't know what the heck is a model store

I finally went to Subic.... passed the exact same hobby shop I did when I was about 6 years old.... and it was CLOSED! There was a Tamiya logo painted on the wall, and if you looked inside, there were posters advertising new and upcoming kits - but it was empty, locked up and abandoned....

I shoulda expected this, having called the number (which was posted on the Futuba website as the contact number for the place) and getting LILS Parksquare instead... It was apparently connected to the LILS chain when it was open, as the lady knew the place was closed. Oh well, life goes on....

Ay!!!! You mean the shop with the painted Tamiya logo? Lagi ko pa naman nadadaanan yan nung nag Subic kami a few years ago. Yep, it was closed already. Para na syang storage ng mga bagay bagay. Maraming boxes sa loob, too bad the boxes are not model kits.
