New Store Ready and Open for Business

Finally the new Store is ready for Business. It took a lot more than we wanted but we are hanging on and almost all our stock is on display and available directly from the Store (and of course on the Internet)
We invite you to visit the link to our new store http://www.rocousa.com/hobbystore.htm for you to browse the facility and maybe even see something you need.
We have still work to do but now is under control. At least, now we know where are the things that are not on display yet so we can get them in just one minute.
In other news, we are happy to see the good response that our Customers had for having the prices set in Euros for Marklin, Trix and some other imports for pre-orders in 2010 as then price of Euro has gone down in more than 20% this year and our Customers are taking now advantage on this low cost of Euro translated in a lower price in US Dollars.
Those other we know, that complained about not having some items prices in US Dollars and went to our Competitors because they had a price in US Dollars, now we invite them to compare the BIG difference it made to place the order there instead than here with us. Well, you can not win all then games but we still are receiving pre-orders and calculating the price in Dollars at release time of the new items.
Due the new space we have, we have increased our stock and product lines in more than $ 300.000.00 at cost so the volume of items and Brands is highly larger than before.
We are converting slowly in a true Hobby Store and not only a Model Train Store, however, we are still the LARGEST Marklin/Trix Dealer in USA and maybe the Largest in Faller/Vollmer/Preiser/Viessmann and other European Brands.
There is no doubt about our volume in Tamiya, Kyosho, Traxxas, HPI, CEN. Revell, Forces of Valor, Helimax and others we carry for the General Hobby.
I think that is well worth to visit us if you have then time.
