Mike999 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Anderson, SC, 10/29/16:Ollie's had 3 of the LINDBERG Dodge L-700 with Box Trailer. Other than that, almost no car kits. Still lots of old LINDBERG dreck like the German armored car and ancient 1/48 aircraft. Though if you need some 1/48 bombs and underwing weapons, the LINDBERG "Firepower Series" aircraft kits have a bunch. Those kits even include the small hooks that hang bombs from the bomb-racks. Also some AMT 1/48 F9F Panthers.Hobby Lobby: still had one AMT Piranha in the Clearance aisle for $10.79. And an MPC 1/8 scale Trail 70 marked down to the same price. No new kits that I noticed. I picked up an AMT 32 Ford Victoria with the 40% discount.Michael's: nothing new at all, same car kits they've had for months. I was packing a 50% coupon on my email, but just didn't see anything I wanted or don't already have. Left empty-handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Anderson, SC, 12/3/16:This Ollie's got in a big shipment of the AMT 66 Olds 442 W30. Also some REVELL Chevy SSR's and LINDBERG Tenn. and NC Crown Vics. For fans of the smaller scale, the store has a big load of 1/32 scale LINDBERG 1915 Model T Coupelets, a nice kit with engine detail. The store also still has a few LINDBERG Dodge L-700 with flatbed trailer and '40 Ford kits. Other than that, a lot of the ancient LINDBERG 1/48 aircraft, Weird-Ohs and military kits - M-46 Patton and German armored car.At first I passed on the 66 Olds because I already had 2 W30 hardtops and 2 ragtops. But I checked the hardtops and both were early, original issues with the red car on the box. And both had the wrong front bumper - the one with the parking lights at the edges of the bumper slots. Instead of the middle of the slots, to provide clearance for the W-30 air scoops/hoses. So I got 2 hardtops from Ollie's ($7.99 each). They have the correct front bumper.

JTalmage Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Every one that I've been to lately has plenty of dodge truck/flat trailer/40 fords left... and way too many crown victoria cop cars.... Thought about scooping up several cop cars just in case for something down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Frederick, MD has a bunch of the L700/ '40 Ford kits. Some Crown Vics. Some Charger Super Bees. Some Chevy SSR. One L700 w/ box van. A couple of Ferrari Daytonas. A few other things, nothing I didn't already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russosborne Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I had forgotten. I had emailed Ollie's customer service asking if they had any plans to expand into Arizona. Their answer is not for at least a couple of years.Be nice if they did, but I won't hold my breath.Darn it.Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I was in the one in Matthews NC yesterday. The same kits as mentioned above, mostly Lindbergs. I did venture over to the automotive and hardware sections and they have a bunch of 3M assortment packs of sandpaper 320-1500 grit as well as individual packages in various grits. Not much in the paint section but if you look you might find some primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerS Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 What's left is on sale 40% off. The local stores only have the Chevy SSR and surprisingly, only a few Lindberg cop cars. Lots of dinosaurs, airplanes, eagle and the Shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Every one that I've been to lately has plenty of dodge truck/flat trailer/40 fords left... and way too many crown victoria cop cars.... Thought about scooping up several cop cars just in case for something down the road. I had the same idea and picked up a few, along with a couple of the REVELL Crown Vics, which are slightly different from the LINDBERG version. The REVELLS are also really cheap with a Michael's or Hobby Lobby coupon.Here's Chuck Most's comparison of the LINDBERG and REVELL Crown Vic kits:http://chuckmost.wixsite.com/madhouse-miniatures/single-post/2015/04/28/Crown-Vic-Smackdown-Lindberg-Vs-Revell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Browsing through this thread and all I can do is shake my head and chuckle at the people gashing open on the '62 Vettes looking for the Metallic Orange ones. Even those "Katch the Kat" kits say what color they're molded in right on the bottom, like a normal kit. The people doing that have to be collectors/people who have big $$$ in their eyes for the resale market and oughta know how that box bottom printing works by now.

My local Ollies had a total of seven of those kits, all sloppily ripped open then thrown back on the table. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 What's left is on sale 40% off. The local stores only have the Chevy SSR and surprisingly, only a few Lindberg cop cars. Lots of dinosaurs, airplanes, eagle and the Shuttle.Anderson, SC store today (1/4/17): same, except not even any SSRs. Or any AMT kits or even cars, except the GA/NC/TN Crown Vics. Still quite a few of the Weird-Oh and "Rube Goldberg" kits.Same town, Hobby Lobby had nothing new and only a couple of ancient LINDBERG Japanese battleships on Clearance. The Hobby Lobby in Easley, SC had a couple of Piranhas on the Clearance aisle for $10.79, IIRC.Even the Flea Market was a bust today. Only thing I found there was a stack of old Hemmings Muscle Machine magazines from 2004-05. I was working overseas for much of that time and missed quite a few issues. They were cheap (10 mags for $8). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcm1977 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just got the newest Ollie's flyer for my area (North Olmsted, Oh) for May 3rd and they have more models on page 6. "One of Ollie's Largest Model Buyouts Ever!" Guess what I need to do some night this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Planning to stop at the Ocala store on Saturday after our FAST meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I was in a store the other day, purely by chance...tons of pre-Round 2 Lindberg stuff, mostly large items like the submarines and stagecoach. No other brands at all. The cars were pretty much the ones pictured in the flyer, plus they had the Dodge L-700/flatbed trailer/Little Red Wagon combo (those were $20). They had a couple of versions of the '64 Dodge (Maverick and Ramchargers). Nothing I "needed", so I passed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks for the heads-up. I'll add this to my Things To Do Today list for Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotto Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 At 7.99, you can't loose. I have an Ollies minutes from work and one minutes from home. I hit the one near the office after work today, I picked up 2 of the Sox and Martin GTX;s. I'll do one up like the box and the other like the GTX in Tommy Boy. I'll hit the one near home after class tonite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Stopped today at the same store I was in last Saturday...someone scarfed all of the L-700/LRW combo kits, but they did have Revell kits today. Stock version '62 Corvette, Surfite, Showboat dragster, Fink Speedwagon, Matt Hay T-Bird, old-tool '41 Willys coupe, and Slingster dragster. I snagged two of the latter, will leave 'em sealed and set them in the attic...if I don't do anything with them in a couple of years, I'll throw them on the sale pile and get more than $8 apiece back on them to help pay for the show table.
