    I found what I was looking for at a better price then any where else because of my points. That and the fast shipping times aided in my decision to order today. I would had purchased some 3s or a 6s lipo but there was no good option for what I was looking for.

    I ordered three Hot Wheels plastic model kits in special collector tin boxes. They all arrived damaged, which the sorry packing had part in this. I couldn’t find numbers to call, so an email went out over the weekend. I received a Monday response asking for pictures of which I promptly sent. Tower Hobbies response was to contact Mattel? Mattel said they couldn’t do anything either. I contacted the company that reissued these kits and they said that Tower Hobbies should handle this. I sent another email asking for a return and refund and after three days I received nothing. They have seemingly ghosted me! Tower Hobbies will not get any more orders from me. Their claim of “expert customer service” is a lie. You fooled me once….shame on you Tower Hobbies.

    The checkout process failed twice for non descript reasons. It took several attempts and lucky guesses to figure out why. Also, I used the shopping cart to reserve potential purchases. When I went to check out, I couldn't figure out how to modify the cart contents. I finally stumbled across it but I couldn't do that twice.

    I think the site is fairly easy to use. Search is not super helpful unless i have the actual part number. It is disappointing that not all the replacement parts i need for a current model arrma car (typhon 223s) are not available.

    I appreciate what you do stock; but I wish you carried more brands…Takom, Border, Airfix, etc! I think you’re shorting yourself by not offering more brands.

    I needed some model paint and it seems everywhere I look it's way overpriced, until I found you guys. You had every color I can imagine and they were in stock. The silly little brush rest by Tamiya was on backorder but that really was an afterthought anyway, so that wasn't an issue for me. The shipping time takes a little longer than I expected but it wasn't ridiculous. Overall, I'm very pleased.
