THE BANDIT'S HOBBIES ADVANTAGE:

The difference between Bandit's Hobbies and so many internet sellers is that everything shown here on our web site is actually on the shelf in our hobby shop and not sitting in a distributors warehouse in another part of the country. We made a decision almost 30 years ago not to be a 3rd party re-seller like some internet sellers. Our current in-stock inventory has a value of over $250,000.00, so for you our valued customers, you get your item(s) at least 3 days sooner than had your purchase been made elsewhere.

Why should we waste your time reading a long drawn out definition of what "IN STOCK" means when you could be enjoying shopping here on our site with the satisfaction of knowing that you will receive the item(s) you select. How simple can that be?
Our customers get their items sooner because they don't have to wait for us to order and receive their items from one of our suppliers before we ship them out.
