Your best bet might be taking a field trip up to Brookhurst hobbies (just search yahoo for them, I\'m pretty sure they carry Vallejo, but you\'ll want to call first, some people have had trouble getting in restocks on the Vallejo line)... I pass by them every time I go to LA (they\'re in Garden Grove - I haven\'t ever been there, but I pass the exit a couple times a year, but always in the way somewhere else, so I haven\'t been there yet), so they aren\'t completely out of reach if you have access to a car yourself... now if you have to convince someone else to drive you that might be a bit harder...
