One of the cool things about them is that they support local hobby shops in that their on-line pricing is exactly what you would pay locally through their partnered shops. There is one about five miles from my house - dangerously close (if you couldn't tell already).

There was a time when on-line sales were killing the local shops, who could not compete price-wise. That made it really hard to run in and grab that one thing you needed for a day at the field, to continue with a build project, or for a repair, or whatever. It's also really nice to look at and handle something before you buy.
