If anyone does not like thier local model shop then F@~* and move to Hong Kong.

Or just stay in the uk and place orders in HK instead??
Tbh I shop where I get the best overall experience, factors include:
1. Live stock levels
2. Speed of communications
3. Price
4. Do they stock lots of bits & pieces
5. I built up a loyalty to them.
5 is an interesting one to me, I started buying kits from Stellamodels when exchange rate was more like 180yen/£, no-one in the uk brought kits in from Tamiya, and when they got 501's first...now people stock bits/kits here in the uk, the yen is 130 etc....but I still feel loyalty to Stella, I don't want them losing their jobs either...and I'm not sure why I should dump them!?
What I tend to do now is split a lot of my buying, I like supporting JTmodels with orders as I want them to succeed, I use Demon/PBM as I always have depending on what I am buying, same with JE, but I still tend to use Stella to buy actual kits, even though it doesn't save much these days, is that really bad, wanting Japanese guys to keep their jobs too??
