Hey folks!

I'll be in Overland Park-KC area next month and was wondering if there are some good hobby stores in the area?

Thanks
Steve

There are two that I stop at when I'm in KC. Right off Metcalf and both are North of I-435.

Hobby Haven is behind the Carrabba's about 200 meters North of I-435 on the left side. They have a few items on a sale table right now. Good magazine selection. Mostly RC of course but still decent selection.

The Hobbytown USA is a little further up. Also on the left side as you go North. In the same strip center as Borders and I think a Macaroni Grill. The usual mix for a Hobbytown.

Of course my assessment is flavored a little by the fact that I only build modern armor.

If you contact him ahead of time I am sure Gordon at Sprue Brothers wouldn't mind you stopping by his warehouse to look through his inventory. http://www.spruebrothers.com I'll also back Paul up on the Hobby Haven. Thats the best store front shop in KC.

Hey thanks guys,

Sorry for the delay in the reply, that was rather rude of me. I appreciate your help and I plan on hitting both places. Maybe I'll see if I can make the Sprue Bros. vivit as well.

Again, thanks for your help.
