I was under the impression that Brookhurst had gone out of business. Was this a mistake on my part or is the Brookhurst I ran across this morning by mistake a new incarnation? If it is, is it under new management? LT |

I get monthly emails. Still going strong! |

Never heard that they left. |

I visited the shop a few times this summer, still there. |

Larry Huber, the great Brookhurst Hobbies guy I'd see at conventions, retired or left Brookhurst a few years ago; maybe that's what you heard. |

They seem to be a bit lost with Larry gone, management can't seem to make up their mind. |

I was there last saturday and bought stuff. |

Certain pages on their website are quite freaky. The Peter Pig AWI line refuses to load sometimes. Also, their response to emails is nonexistent. It's an awesome store – just wish they'd get the kinks worked out. |

Ordered several times in LH's day, and had wonderful, timely, courteous service, mostly 15s and a few 20mm lines. More recently, I visited and thought the store was a hot mess, and bought nothing. Post-LH communications have also been frustrating, to put it mildly. After a couple of misfires, I moved on. I wish them well just the same. |

Several years ago, I was onsite looking for some 20mm figures. Almost all of the 20mm were stored in the attic. Larry asked me what I wanted and when I told him I didn't really know and could he bring them down. He smiled and allowed me access to the attic storage area. There were around 5 – six foot metal shelves filled with boxes of 20mm. I spent a good hour and could have done more. Glad to hear they are still around and that Larry could retire. |

If the same guys who were in charge after Larry Huber left are still there and their idea of service remains the same I'll send my orders elsewhere.

I was there yesterday and bought stuff. Organized service is not a specialty of theirs, but if you know what you need/want you have a decent chance of finding it. |

Since Brookhurst is in California and I live in Louisiana I don't think I'll be dropping by any time soon. I was referring to their mail-order service which, after Larry Huber left, took a nose-dive. It got so bad that I gave up on them entirely and I don't think I was the only fairly regular mail-order customer to do so. LT |
