I live in NSW and i went to 1 near Surfers Paradise (Miami Beach)on my holidays. It was just past Pacific Fair going on towards Surfers Paradise the first right. It was called Hobbies & Biycles or something like that?


But there wasnt much there, they are moving soon the guy said and there gonna have a Super Store he said which sounded cool.


Look it up in the Phone book under Hobbies-Yellow pages. Thats how i found it and there were more there.

yeah its on surf parade in broadbeach. called broadbeach cycles and hobbies. the owners name is helmut and he is quite a good bloke. they dont have much stuff, more than hobby haven though. and they will order anything you need right then


as hellholefred said, they are moving to a much bigger store in a week from saturday. if you go in and talk to him, ask him to put you on the list for the new shop. they are having a bbq and some rc demos on opening day.


p.s. flat matt, where do you live and what rc's you got? i live in southport and have a savage and an emaxx

judd,


they definately dont have a shop front. what were you buying?


ihave heard of a group of shady characters that bought out a old model shop that used to be based in bundall. and for some reason, unkown to me, they were selling all they stock from an appartment in a villa and closed the shop. they were selling inferno mp5's (when they were new) for like $200. (wish i had money back then) never heard of them again tho


so yeah, if you can get anm address i will go round there and soft them out haha

To find a buisnesses address you need their ABN and 15 dollars to do a
business search ( this is for QLD, Im not sure about other states). You
just need to know someone in a law firm who is willing to help you out.

the gods must be on my side..........planethobbies deposited my money today........just want to thank all those who gave me ideas on how to interupt there daily transactions and force them into complying.............if asked by the police if i went to pursue this matter i will probably drop it, i do not want to cause those within the rc community who use there service successfully any grief....but i for one will never use there services again.
i suggest others that are looking at buying of them certainly proceed with caution.
once again i thank you all for all your insight
its a win for the little man
