The hobby store, which opened in 1974, is moving from its home on Fairbanks Avenue to a new location at 5021 Edgewater Drive in Orlando.
The store posted videos on its Facebook page of the saucer lifting off from the roof of its existing location with the help of a crane to transport it to its new home.
