I noticed a sale at Hobby_Lobby (don't know if they're nationwide, but there are a few in the Cincinnati area where I'm from) for 30% off all kits, starter sets and engines.
FWIW, HL seems like they're about 20-30% higher than online vendors, especially for some of the larger kits and engines, so the sale brings their prices back into a reasonable range.
Anyway, I got my son an Estes "Sky-Writer" (he gets a kick out of the pencil shape) and I picked up a Big Bertha. Always wanted one when I was a kid. Should be fun, although it seems it might need D power...heh-heh. My son and I will have fun building these soon.
Anyone have some Bertha color-schemes to show? I don't think we'll do the "all-black" look like on the card.
