Is Hobby Tron Making A Comeback?
Posted on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 in Basic Rants
From the looks of things, they may be making a comeback because I’ve been see’ing some great reviews! But then again, you can pay people to post great reviews about your business too. For example, PayPerPost, or BuyBlogReviews, etc. You can even pay people to write awesome articles about you!
And.. that being said… I was hoping that someday things would change. But it looks like it’s the same old stuff going on over there.

hobbytron has not changed. Thank you for this site because it actually helped me know what to expect.. its just too bad I didnt look into it before hand. Also… I got a FedEx tracking email from hobbytron that indicates its being shipped from TOYRAPTOR. Whats up? (I have had lots of problems before this.. but woohoo a shipment of some sort it seems.)
We ordered from HobbyTron.com 10 bags of name-brand flourescent yellow Air Soft BBs made by UKarms (5000 BBs per bag; .12g 6mm; for Airsoft Gun) and instead received no-brand, dimpled, warped and crooked red “bullets” (1000 pieces per bag; distributed by FINE DRAGON INT’L LTD.HK) that are so inferior they barely resemble Air Soft BBs at all. HobbyTron.com purported to sell a brand-name quality item but deliberately shipped a different and clearly inferior product. They expect us to pay return shipping and a 20% re-stocking fee even though they sent us junk we did not order. We have asked HobbyTron.com for a Fedex number for free return shipping (shipping paid for by Hobbytron.com); they responded that they had the right to substitute product. The substitute product is not of comparable quality and we would like to send it back. We have filed an FTC Complaint (FTC.gov; number 27300794).
