The only rocketry related items I ever buy at Walmart are B and C engines. If they were to go away I would just make those purchased online.
Since there are no local hobby shops left in my area I make most of my rocket kit, component and D-E engine purchases online. It's quick and easy. I spread my money among a growing number of vendors big and small. I've never had an issue and I always get exactly what I want.
It does bother me that the local hobby shops are fading away, but my attempts to support those that still existed locally were futile. There are a couple I still visit, but they are a good distance away and the prices are always very high, especially on engines.
