It may have been I was dealing with both of them at one time, because I do
remember Hobby 'Heaven' it is just that I kept the 'Hobby Haven' information off
the box on my wall for some reason. What was neat was when the UPS driver would
drop off the shipment, they knock, you sign, and there is big piles of NOS cases
of Jo-Han models in original Jo-Han logoed boxes. Sort of same effect one gets
when buying a case of Hot Wheels off ebay for instance, it has that neat Hot
Wheels logoed clear/black factory (China, Malaysia, Thailand) tape from the
'factory' seal. Too bad about the Hobby Heaven place closing though, hate to see
small businesses go down.

Looked at one of my older model magazines... there was a
Hobby Heaven. They closed down a couple of years ago.

AMC NOS Models
I was turned onto Hobby Heaven in KC by fellow AMC model
builder many years ago. I think it was in late 80s. The guy who ran
Hobby heaven used to call me up and say 'hey Eddie, I got some cases
of AMC stuff coming in, you interested?' and needless to say we
would hash out the details and here come the models, of whihc I
would toss them in the old warehouse. On my wall here with a
thumbtack stuck thru it is a label from their place, I don't think
they still in business, but don't know:
Hobby Haven (oops, my bad, thought it was Heaven, but anyplace
that has cases of AMCs is heaven)
10568 Metcalf
Overland Park, Kansas, 66212
If they still in business I would like to know, the torn off
label on my wall here in office is dusty and yellowed and dated
1992.
