...Although, to be honest, I've refused to do business with Bob King
for over three decades now due to some bad service I got from him and
his wife back then involving a special order kit. Those locally who do
business have, on occasion, had similar dealings with the Kings,
although there's just as many who'll claim they're the nicest people
on the planet and defend them tooth and nail. However, both sides are
also quick to point out they don't get in the esoteric and rare kits
like the Village Hobby shop does - or *did*, seeing as how it's now
closed! The guy who ran the VHS could find kits that today we'd find
for top dollar on eBay, find a lot of 10-12 of them, only double the
price, and make them affordable. That's how I finally got an MPC
Pilgrim/Explorer kit after it never showed up around CenTex when it
first was released three decades earlier. He never did find those
Aurora "Voyager" kits, although Moebius has a new retooling out that I
need to pick up.
