Re: Woo Hoo! Hobby King is coming to Canada!

Fantastic! Just as long as Canada Post doesn't screw it all up. I don;t think the prices for the product will be much different, but the shipping may be a killer. Canada Post is well known for being one of the most expensive.

Re: Woo Hoo! Hobby King is coming to Canada!

I'm a big fan of HobbyKing, must have spent several thousand dollars with them in the last few years. I assume the store will be in the TO area?

But I'm confused. Who is Jason? Is not Anthony Hand the president?
