Celeste Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Where is the nearest astro shop to the Leics area? Lewis is getting designs on a new scope and I want to show him them before he settles on one (or two lol) If he gets to see the actual SIZE of those he's asking about...he may well change his mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fluke Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Who was it who was setting up a shop in the West Midlands with built in Obsy? Don't know if they're open yet but they'd be as close to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tweedledum Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi Celeste, Would check with RVO before visiting as to their stock. Last time I visited they had very low stock, in poor condition and were not particularly interested in me as a customer. That really is the complete opposite of them when I used to go to their previous shop in Killamarsh, where they also re collimated my newt after I messed it up big time!. Have heard that they now stock more model kits than any astro stuff. STill have a decent website though :-). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I concur with Damian, however, if you are in the market for Radio controlled toys, then this is a shop to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Oh, I saw RVO on google but wasn't sure if it was the closest. Most 'astro' shops are camera shops really. I just want Lewis to see the SIZE of these things first, as he's got BIG ideas! lol. I shall phone RVO beforehand and see what they have on display, and maybe go during half term.
