Your question prompts a few from me:
What is it about B&M stores that seems valuable to you?
Do you want to support local businesses and the people who are nearby?
Do you value the idea of such stores being available to customers in the future (like a book shop)?
Do you have a sense that the hobby, insofar as you support the hobby, is better sustained by these stores?
These are ethical questions because they are about sustaining people or values you may care about.
Perhaps none of these matter to you, in which case your question is about the strategy which best suits your consumer choices. Those might include things like prices, selection, follow-up service, exchanges, etc. Those are questions this forum is especially well-equipped to handle.
