Hi Guys: I am going to be in Boston for a few days, any ideas on the best shops to hit while I am there? Do they have Hobby lobby's in Boston? Love to hit one of those 50% off sales you here so much about!

Don't think Hobby Lobby is in New England, but if you're in Boston, it's worth the side trip to Marlboro for The Spare Time Shop on Route 20. It's about a half hour from Boston. More local, but with a smaller selection, try The Hobby Bunker, 33 Exchange Street in Malden Square. You can get there by way of The T, Boston's tarnsit system.

Unfortunately the closest Hobby Lobby is in Ohio. That would probably be a bit out of the way for you

I do, however second Al's suggestion about the Spare Time Shop. It is a small shop but is packed with models from floor to ceiling. As for the Hobby Bunker, it is a good store especially if you are into figures, games and 1:72 scale models.
