Mavrick I wish that all Hobbytowns could get on the same page. The 2 that are nearest to where I live had no idea about the show on Fri. 10/03. Then they told me they were going to have the contest at the end of the month. Sounds like you had a good showing at your store. Congrats. on you and your sons win.

Vann, that's odd, they are usually always the same day. Even the HobbyTown website had it posted for October 4th. Someone needs to have them get their act together. I also read about a sidewalk sale, we didn't have one down here. Would have been nice LOL. My stock is down right now.
