Here's just a partial list of what they have:

Dremel accesories; X-acto knife acc.; Rokenbok kits; KS Metals 'Structural Shapes of Brass' display with: E - Z - T - H - I - L beams A display marked Sheet Strip Wire Rods; A Plastruct Plastic Center with structual elements; Brass and Aluminum Tubes of circle, square, rectangle, airfoil and L and C channels; Foil Shims; Display of MidWest Super Sheets 7.6" x 12.6": Polyester - .118" and .197" Mirror Styrene - Gold or Silver - .030 to .080 Clear Lexan - .060, .080 and .118

**** PVC Foam - .118, .156, .197, and .236 ******

Plus a lot of model train electrical stuff usable in small robots; balsa wood galore, modeling clay, etc, etc. Too much to list. It's a hobby shop going out of business. Get There Soon!

Now, their prices were unreasonable at their retail, but with 70% off, brings it down to just below prices you Nov get elsewhere.

| Only 4 items shown on the site, Im not surprised...

The post sounds like a shill anyways.

Google for `h0bby.com' ... it's obviously not legitimate.

Also, living in Austin, I know that Airport is a Blvd, not a Frwy, and

76622 is about 150 miles from Austin. And there's no hobby shop here (not with a storefront anyways) by that name.
