What websites do YOU buy from?

[jagdpanther6]

I gets some stuff off Amazon, I save on shipping with my Prime account. I also use E-bay, alot of overpriced stuff but I shop around for the bargains as there is a wide selection. Also buy off fellow Modelers on the Forums. Decades ago I used to use Squadron and a place called Roll Models.

For Gundams I mostly use Newtype. They are basically like a smaller version of Hobby Link Japan, but based in California.

For everything else it's the same places as everyone else seems to use.

All of the above! If I’m in the market for something used, I’ll head to Mustang Hobbies or Rare Plane Detective.

Oh crap....just looked on their site. Online only. I guess the plaza they were in is getting substantial repairs and they decided to close shop.

I used to go to NewType for paint & Supplies when my LHS didn't have what I needed. During the pandemic they closed and you could order online and pick up without leaving the car. My guess is the employees hated it because they were very rude during the transaction haha. They have finally switched to 100% online.

rebelalpha @ scott's model workshop on ebay is pretty great. 
I like spraygunner.com for some paints and airbrush stuff too.

Hey ChromeDome, I figured I'd check out Ricks Hobby Shop after reading your posts. But when I clicked on the link for it in your post...it led to a Rick Astley video on Youtube from 14yrs ago!!!  LOL   What The Hey, Man!!!   Is this some kind of music fetish that we should know about?  LOL

Oh man that is too funny.  Haven't see someone get rick rolled in a while lol

Their shipping the last few months has gone crazy. I know they changed something because of a strike with ups or something. It's just been awful.
