Things you would not expect to find in a ............. shop.
I would not have expected to find this in a Textiles shop in Dorchester which Manufactures Looms and Spinning wheels.
Anyone else had unexpected finds in extra ordinary places? If so this is the thread for you.
Afterword:- It did make my wait for Mrs K. worthwhile, especially as it went through the till on her card.

I love it when that happens! Got a jar of casting latex at 40% off with Mrs. Clippers craft store discount card!
Good find, RobIt must have been a secretly disguised textile armory shop

Well, that was a supernaturally lucky find Rob. Now please go to a candy store a fetch me a Supermarine Walrus. Or two.
Excellent find. Esp. since these STILL haven't reached the States yet
In a similar vein, I found several 1/72nd scale aircraft models at a whole sale leather shop in Cleveland many many years ago.
I was buying for M&M at the time.
(They're still in the attic waiting to be built)

You never know what you will find in some places. Good catch.
One day, while getting back from a trip, we stopped in a famous restaurant by the road. Its normal to find strange things in that restaurants, but i find something like 30 1/200 plane, mostly WWII. I was amazed, but as I didn't know the game, i didn't buy any. Now every time we stop there i put that place upside down but dont find anything.
Thanks

Like finding an Easter Egg!
Found some WoW WW1 stuff in a charity shop once.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
dont have any wow/wog related finds but ive got some weird ones. found a 1950s 100lb practice bomb in a coin/stamp shop in downtown dayton and an ah1 cobra attack helicopter engine access door at a scrap metal place i worked at.
This did not happen to me but one of our games club members found a complete set of Rourkes Drift Box set with the buildings already built in a Salvation Army Op Shop for $10 Aus.
Now that was a great find!
Well done, Rob! That was a good find.
Not inside, but I once found three of my teachers coming out of an adults-only store....

A lot of the craft stores in my area usually have a small section with plastic models and the like. They are small sections, but I wouldn't be too surprised to find a model plane there. Maybe not a biplane, but some of the modern ones.
AWKWARD!!!!!!!Not inside, but I once found three of my teachers coming out of an adults-only store....

Nice find Rob - and no, never been that lucky (although my wife and girls' obsession with Hobbycraft allow me excuses for buying paints / storage for figures etc.
Hobbycraft in Nottingham seem to be resolutely running down the boys' toys section. All Games Workshop paints have gone, as well as Revel kits. Only Airfix and some of the modelling tools remain.Nice find Rob - and no, never been that lucky (although my wife and girls' obsession with Hobbycraft allow me excuses for buying paints / storage for figures etc.
