LHS in LA, Las Vegas and Washington DC

[auw12]

Hello guys, especially US fellows, I need some help on locating some hobby shops in LA, Las Vegas and DC, a friend will be there in few days and he wants to look for great stuff there, but first he needs some addresses~ Thanks in advance guys!

What part of DC, and what is your friend hoping to find? I know the area fairly well and there are a few of decent shops- but all are in the suburbs surrounding DC, accessible from the 'Beltway' circular highway that surrounds DC. All would definately take a car to get to.

I got some places in Vegas in mind - I can even arrange a personal tour! PM me.

If by LA you mean L.A. then you can try House of Hobbies in burbank, just off the 5 freeway, exit Alameda. They have a big variety of supplies. HobbyPeople in Pasadena is pretty big too, but not when it comes to supplies. They have a few locations in southern california. The one on pasadena is off the 210 freeway, exit Hill Street. Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair is outside L.A. county but it's the biggest hobby shop that I know of. They have the biggest supply of models kits that I know of, tons of R/C car, boat, plans, and submarines. They also have an outdoor off road R/C track out in the back of the store. They got tons of stuff but, in my opinion, you can get better deals from small hobby shops rathen then these types of big stores. I only drive out to them when I'm looking for something hard to find (discontinued and/or popular kits, tools, etc.) I usually find it there but any other times I'd rather give my business to small hobby shops like House of Hobbies.

While in LA, he may consider visiting Tamiya's headquarters in Aliso Viejo, about an hours drive from downtown LA. I believe they used to have some of their products on sale to the public two times a week. I'm not sure if they still do. Anyways, it's good to see their showroom. Give them a call.
