I want to start using that range (As it seems better than this GW stuff I use now, and its cheaper) but have no clue where to buy some. I want to be able to buy them in-person so I dont have to deal with shipping costs.

For me, the disadvantages in buying online is not being able to seen the color in person and the lack of immediate gratification.

Shipping cost is generally not an issue for me as it is significantly less than the tax you'll pay in person, in my experience.

I use this online store most of the time. It is also on eBay:

Of course, the price may swing in favor of the brick-and-mortar store if you are only planning on buying less than a half dozen or so.

I tend to only buy one or two paints at a time, so tax is always pretty low compared to shipping.

Hey, I don't know where you are located, but Hangar 18 Hobbies in Cary carries Vallejo in stock (Game color and Model color lines). Gamer's Armory in Cary doesn't carry Vallejo, but they can order it for you (and it gets there in less than a week). They also offer a discount that Hangar 18 doesn't, if the wait isn't a problem. In addition, they can order Vallejo supplies that Hangar 18 doesn't carry in stock (he might order them for you too), like Vallejo's excellent brush-on primers, textured paints, crackle paints, etc.

Atomic Empire in Durham used to carry the paint line, and I bet that they still do, but I haven't been there in a while.

Those are my two closest gaming stores, Hangar 18 being my Go-to place. When I looked yesterday I didnt see any Vallejo paints in (Though I didn't really look), I'll check again when I go in Thursday (Sorry to ask, but its just a random game night right?)

Do you know the strip mall with the DMV office out in Cary? If I remember right, it's near a roller skate rink.

If so: Look at Tom's Train Shop. That's where I got most of my Vallejo paints a year ago...but I don't know if they still have them.
