Jerred C. Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 OK, I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and found the L.A.Fire Rescue Peterbuilt on clearance for $40. Should I buy this model or should I wait and see if it goes down in price, it was originally $79. I was really tempted, but my wife told me it has been on clearance for a while now. Just looking for your guys opinions. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Tough call sometimes, but in this case, I'd say jump on it! Every time I see a model at a really killer price and think "Meh- I'll wait on it", it's gone the next time I go into the shop or check the website! $40 is pretty good for that kit.

The boxes were badly damaged but still sealed.We opened each one and there were parts broken(easy fixes to me) got them for $10 ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

envious8420 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) they have 1 at mine for 26, im not into trucks but it was so cheap i almost couldnt pass on it. i think what turned me off was the lack of correct "roadside" emergency lighting. I would like to find an International 4900 cab and chassis to build up like my rig when i was runnin calls Edited August 31, 2010 by envious8420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for your guys opinions. Thanks in advance. Isn't this why we have closets full of cool stuff ? I thought the number one rule in this hobby was " If you see it, if you want it , BUY IT! Cause it ain't gonna be there next time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Reminds me of a good friend who went to te local Harley-Davidson dealer to buy a new bike. He looked and sat and looked more. He finally found one that he really liked and worked a deal. Then he said he's going to think about it. Couple of days later, with his mind made up, went back to the dealer. Bike was already sold. You snooze - you lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewCfromSC Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ok got a question. Where do you find the clearance kits at in your store? We have 2 Hobby Lobby stores ( 1 I stop in about once a week as its on the way home from work) that have a clearance area in the back corner of the store. I dont find kits often. Have checked in the model aisle as well and never find clearance kits. Maybe they ship them back for credit? Anyway im curious where you find your deals in your store at. Drew C. from S.C.
