RotorheadTX Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm sad to report that King's is due to close as of Dec. 31, 2008. Word was published in this week's shop newsletter. Sad to see the end of a local staple. I've been going there since I could barely see over the counter, now I'm 42. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thats sad, I used to go there when I visited Austin, it was almost the highlight of my trip every time Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k5ikl Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Man, that's sad to here. Always liked to stop by there whenever I was in the Austin area. Always ended up buying stuff from them when they had a vendor table at ModelFiesta. What was their reason for closing it down? Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RotorheadTX Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just a quick shout-out to distribute the word... Kings has picked up a massive second-hand collection of 1/48th scale aircraft kits. Full spectrum of stuff from WWI to jets; Testors and Monogram classics to top-flite Japanese manufacturers. If you're anywhere in the area, or on your way to/from this weekend's Modelfiesta in SA, be sure to drop in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breadneck Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Got a great ebay deal from King`s Hobby just a few weeks ago :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Got to spend some time at Kings hobby today. I always swing by when I'm in Austin and get my fix. I really wish there was a store like this in Dallas. Awesome place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Going by there tomorrow, have some books I hope the will take. Have to bring the wife on this trip so I don't end up spending my whole paycheck lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I just wanted add how amazing this place is. I have had nothing but the best amount of experience dealing with all the staff here. Yesterday I was giddy as a school girl as I picked up two Monogram 1/48 AV-8B’s on consignment for less than $20! Support your LHS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
