Any of you in Denver?

Sorry, this is kind of off topic, but are any of you guys in Denver Colorado? I'll be going down next week. Just kind of curious.
Back on topic, what hobby store has the best deals down there. I only have $30 to spend right now and I would really love to get two kits, but I don't know. Any of you down there, some help would really be appecaited. Thanks.

You just missed the big sale at Colpar (25% off).
LMK what sort of cars you are interested and I might be able to help you out with some of my "extra" kits.

Dang. 25% off. I would have really liked that. I don't really know what I want to build next. Maybe something like a 350Z or a Skyline.
I'll check out Coplar if I have time. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: Any of you in Denver?

I don't think that we'll have enough time to stop by in Ft. Collins. We are going down with my dad's van to buy a bunch of Korean food. We will be leaving home at 4am, then we get to go to a few hobby shops in Denver that I want to, then we go shopping, and come back at like 3am on Suday.

Denver area hobby shops

I'm in Denver. The best shops in town IMHO are Colpar's (two locations, I tend to go to the one at Havana and Mississippi in Aurora), and Mizelle's (esp. for diecast) on Federal off US36 in Westminster.

The best shop in the state, IMHO, is Don's Hobbies in downtown Greeley. I trek up there a few times a year--their selection of imports and diecast is great.

It's not bad... I've found a few interesting diecast there. Mizelles and Colpar are better overall, IMHO. But Don's in Greeley is the best, IMHO.

I love Don's!! I live a couple minutes away too, and they have a huge selection of models and paints. They do have a serious lack of aftermarket car parts though.

My sister lives in Broomfield, so next time I'm up that way, I'll have to give that shop a visit.
