Wheels and Wings in Toronto, Ontario Canada

[bigfiver69]

Toronto used to be a modeler's dream with many great, great shops that sold the very latest of everything, and others that had long stores of older kits.

As recently as 6 or 7 years ago, there was Collector's Lane out in Scarborough, with an incredible range of out of Production kits. There was Keith's Hobbies at Yonge and Sheppard, which was a great, old-school shop with a wide selection. North of the city was Northstar Hobbies, still in existence, but not as large or as well-stocked as it once was.

The remaining gem, however, is Wheels and Wings up on Danforth Avenue. It has been around a long time, but the newer location is larger and the selection of kits is breathtaking.

Aside from a fine selection of newer kits, the owner still buys collections and as a result, many great old gems may still be found. I try and check it out every few months, to see what has come in.

As far as disoclosure goes, I don't know the owners or anything like that - just like the store a lot because it always has interesting stuff, both older and up to date.
