Are these any good, or are they not worth getting?

The pictures I've seen of these models certainly aren't very appealing. They look like they're done on the cheap.

I think these are at my local Hobbytown and I wasn't impressed with them.

At my hobbytown as well. Not very impressed. Sort of like a higher-quality New Ray Easy Build kit.

I saw them online and had never heard/seen them before.

Thanks for the input... um, or warning. ;)

I got the impresson from looking at these that they are rebadged Motormax planes. The Thunderbirds F-16 is the same as the Motormax one, etc.
