Flite Paks at TrU
Quote:
Yep, I recall several stores having these, around '97 or so, and at better prices than online at that time! Also, they had *blister pak* six packs of motors, all the same type. Used to score C6-3s when available (which was not that often). And, those were like $9 each, making them an even better deal. Haven't been in one of those places in a loooong time now, probably wouldn't recognize it. |

Kay Bee Toys (see: http://www.google.com/search?source...1.0.0whvBzEknpw ) is planning to come back, which I first heard a news story about a few hours ago. They also want to stock their previous vendors' products as well as new ones. I bought model rocket supplies from one, which was well-stocked with kits, starter sets, and motors.

Kay-Bee Toys is the company that took over all the Circus World toy stores in all the malls.

IIRC, I bought up a bunch of clearance Cobra packaged motors from a mall K&B years ago. Seems like they were about a buck a pack. I can't remember if they were going out of business or just getting rid of rocketry items.

I don't think it was as recent as 2009. If it was a going out of business sale, it was probably just for that particular mall store. Most likely the store was discontinuing rocketry products, or the newer non-cobra packaging motors were out and they were getting rid of old style stock. I just don't remember. I should, because I've only bought large bunches of clearance motors a few times. Pink packaged motors once, Cobra packaged motors once, and at Walmart a few times with their special retail packaging (wadding included, two motor packs, etc.).

They had regular rocketry clearances since the late 80's. I've recently sold the last little bit of 80's rocket kits I was hoarding from a KayBee sale back in 1988. I wish I knew then what I've known for the past 15 years of eBay and had bought a lot more of it. There were lots of Centuri kits at the KayBee in Athens and I ignored them. I still have a LTV Scout I bought at a KayBee in Guelph, Ontario in 1991, though its torn bag disqualifies it from being much of a collectors item.
