Store is actually in Avondale or Goodyear, out on the west side of town.
Printed out and used my 40% off coupon- scored a Hasegawa 1/32 FW190A-8 for
$30. Place really doesn't have a great selection of kits. One gripe- they
don't have price scanners. My wife was trying to get some stuff to make
snowmen with her 1st graders. It took 10 minutes and three people to figure
out how much resin carrot noses in a bag cost. Seems like bar codes would be
extremely cost effective, especially at inventory time.

WOuld you believe that in the Albuquerque stores anyway, they still do
their inventory printouts on 11x17 continuous feed green bar paper? Its
got to be maybe 10+ years since I've even seen any!

BTW, the newspaper and internet coupons are at 40% off and of course the
internet one can be printed multiple times, but they also have 30% off
all plastic & diecast kits in the regular internet flyer I got
yesterday, the one with the internet coupon at the very bottom.

The ones in Colorado will only let you use the 40% off coupon on
"regular priced" items. So when they have all models 30% off, the
coupon doesn't work. When they do this, I use the 40% off coupon for
paint, glue, etc. The only new stuff in the seems to be in the ship
section. They put in several Hasegawa and Tamiya 1/350 ships. At $80
to $90 apiece, the 40% off coupon winds up being worth 30- 40 dollars.
That's not bad in ships are your cup of tea (:>
