Thatswhatshesaid Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Does anyone know what they have at the Radcliff or Bowling Green, KY locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 the slot cars at 'my location' didn't seem to be moving much, I know they had the Camaro, a ford [not sure which one, sunliner/styliner? not a ford guy] I think 57 chevy and maybe a few others, if anyone is interested, I could make a trip there this weekend and maybe pick up a few if still there. lemme know via pm and I will see what's there.

Thatswhatshesaid Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Plenty of slot cars left in Bowling Green. A few Dodge Dakotas, Dodge Charger, 62 impala and the 25 Ford I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnt671 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I went back to the Ollies in Hazleton, PA yesterday and got the 62 Chevy and Kurtis midget. I was glad I went back because they didn't have the Kurtis the other times I went. They still have a pretty good selection left, but not as big a selection as last week. Now I need to stay out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I went back to my local Ollie's last night. They had new models that were not there last time I went. They had Minicraft models. Airplanes mostly. There were a few Space Shuttles, Morgan 3-wheelers and some figure models. They still has a good selection of the original car models.

karbuildr Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Glad I checked out this thread, good information here, thanks to all. I just found out today there's an Ollie's opening right down the street from me on 10/29/2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I went back today and picked up one of the midget racer kits. Surprisingly, they still had 5 or 6 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I guess nobody has figured out the source for this hoard? Since it is kits from multiple manufacturers, it has to be someone large at the distribution level... maybe Hobbico? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I was wondering that myself, must have been a huge hoard of stuff stuffed in the warehouse to supply all the stores [or most of them anyway]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks for all the information here, I had never heard of Ollie's, we have one in a near by town about 20 miles away. I picked up two kits at $8 each and will be back for more. Would love to get some midget racers, they didn't have any here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubaja Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I guess nobody has figured out the source for this hoard?

Tom Geiger Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good thought Frank. Maybe they emptied some national warehouse? Did they ever stock Mini Craft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good thought Frank. Maybe they emptied some national warehouse? Did they ever stock Mini Craft? Doubt it was Hobby Lobby, as they really don't have that broad a line of model car kits. More than likely, a wholesaler decided for whatever reasons, to clear out a bunch of unsold stock.

martinfan5 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Not disagreeing , but I just want to point out that Hobby lobby has a much greater selection than the "71" different kits at Ollies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdoggy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is Ollies restocking the kits or once a store is empty that's it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hope they'll re-stock with a bigger selection... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
