What's with Tower Hobbies?

What's with Tower Hobbies? Is their server down or is their site running slowly?..I haven't been able to get on their site for the last two days and I have high speed access...every other site works but theirs?

Works for me. Maybe it's your computer?

start -> run -> type in "command"

C:\tracert www.towerhobbies.com

Find out where the bad link is. If it gets past your ISP's gateway (should be 2nd hop) it's possibly their backbone. Or you can use
http://www.tracert.com
to trace from multiple areas to see if it's the domain or if it's your ISP/backbone that cannot see the site. Look for high latency and packet loss. :)

One way of trying again is by restarting your computer. Sometimes when i cant get to certain sites thats what i have to do if thats your problem......

Well towerhobbies has had problems with their server many times, but If tower is having a problem you can try www.omnimidels.com They have the same things at the same prices.
The real diffrence is that omni does not advertise all their sales like tower.

the link i think should be

www.omnimodels.com

the store looks to have prices in line with tower - has anyone purchased from there ?

[warden141]

it looks similar to towers inventory

i wonder it this is just another store front - using tower for inventory fullfillment

Towerhobbies and Omnimodels are the same company.
