When I was a kid in New Jersey, model kits were displayed across the top of the low freezer boxes at the local Acme supermarket. Of course I always tried to take one home with me!

Of course I always tried to take one home with me! I grew up in Missouri, and by the early sixties, model car kits were everywhere, literally. Corner stores, drug stores, supermarkets, Woolworth's, Penney's, Sears, toy stores, etc. It was impossible to avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 When I was a wee tike my dad bought my models in a hardware store. That was back in Chicago in the late 50's early 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ben Franklin "dime store" and International Harvester dealer were two model car kit sources, but the primo place in town was the Rexall Drug Store.

Daddyfink Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I used to get them at the local 7-11! All the grocery stores had them, drugstores and some hardware stores! Slurpee and a Funny Car, to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I get my car back today. Turned out all the noises were a bad starter motor. Although, I'd still like to see why it isn't starting every time, which I think is why I blew the starter. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000-cvpi Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The Hobby Lobby here in Kalamazoo reset some of the stock, so for the post few days I've used the 40% coupon for times. The Monogram 56 Bel Air was on clearance today for nine bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Last Saturday I was in the Hobby Lobby in Ocala, FL for our monthly FAST meeting and was able to pick up the Rat Roaster with a 40% off coupon and the Phantom van for $9 on clearance. I might go back for another van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go back for another van. That's crazy, the Hobby Lobby here got the Phantom van just before Christmas. The clearance here takes almost a year for a kit to hit the clearance shelves. I'd pick up another one just to have a spare for nine bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 You guys are lucky!! Ours stays empty. Hey I almost forgot, you moved in my Neck of the woods. Which Hobby Lobby are you talking about? The one in Murfreesboro hasn't had a kit on clearance in almost two years and never gets a restock. The model isle is pretty barren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yup the one in M-boro. Ive bought every single can of spray paint they have had on clearance in the last 4 months! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, it was a fair bit more than I was hoping to pay, but it's mine.

Agent G Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) I forgot about the Ben Franklin store. Those were all over the place in the St. Louis area as well. Ben Franklin at River Roads Mall in Jennings. It had a dedicated Hobby Corner. I'm trying to remember which store at Northland Shopping Center had the big hobby area. I want to say JC Penney in that humungous toy department with the monorail, remember that? *edit* I now remember that was JC Penney at River Roads as well. The Ben Franklin at Northland was the bomb also. G Edited August 10, 2013 by Agent G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Got lucky today, went to Hobby Town USA and found some high def carbon fiber from Scale Motorsport for 10.99 then headed to Hobby Lobby for some paint and found that they had reset the model section and had a bunch of new kits and a ton of clearance kits. Ended up getting another 1970 Roadrunner for 10.xx! lol Got all this for 28.00 Untitled by jrherald420, on Flickr Edited August 10, 2013 by jrherald420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
