Default Surprised to see rockets at Wally-World....

I was surprised last night when my daughter & I went to the local mega Wal-Mart last night (we rarely shop there) and dropped by the toy dept we saw there was suddenly now an actual small hobby department with plastic models, Testors paints & tools, and an array of Estes RTFs & engines. Wow! That was a shock!

The Estes offerings were just about the same as the Toys R Us assortment. The RTFs were all 9.97, except for the 3 or 4 that came with launchers. The launcher sets included the twins, a helcio recovery bird and an egg-lofter. Engine packs were all 9.97 or so as well - the same 3-packs offered at Toys R Us.

Not a whole lot of stuff I'm interested in, but it should make gift shopping easier.
