Anyone know of one that i can pick up a model rocket at.

doesn't wal mart sell model rockets.

There is one one 9th and Pine. They have the engines for model rockets, but not sure if they have the actual kits, worth a shot.

No, Rolla Hobby's on 11th and Pine. Across the intersection from All Stars, and across the street and a block from the Palace.

Wal-Mart model rockets suck. end of story

There are a wealth of internet vendors that supply superior kits and selection (as compared to WalMart) for much lower prices. I would recommend some of those. Just search through the vendors section on rocketryonline.com. Look for people who sell kits manufactured by Estes or Custom Rocketry.

In town, however, Rolla Books and Toys may have some, and K-Mart might also have some. They are both down 63, and across the street from each other. If you can make it to Springfield, Hobbytown USA is across the street from Lambert's, and I'm sure there are many other locations and other toy stores in that city or in St. Louis.
