Snake45 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Haven't been in 3 or 4 weeks, and last time I was there it was all the same stuff (kits and diecasts) as the last month and the month before. Anything new turning up at HL yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Metallic Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Haven't seen anything new at my local HL since the reset about 3 months ago. Never even got the Porsche tractor like other places did. I'm really hoping to pick up the Subaru BRAT, 78 Dodge pickup and 23 T at HL since I don't know that I will actually build them. But so far they haven't shown up. I have no problem paying full retail for stuff I know I'll build. But stuff on the fringes of my interests I'd rather not.

Joe Handley Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I picked up the current re-issue of the '65 Riviera at mine over the weekend and found Evergreen sheet and shaped products in small quantities there recently too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I checked out our local Hobby Lobby this past Tuesday. Nothing new. Bought some body putty. I'll bet they will discount the kits in January because they will want to reduce inventory for tax purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Got a new Hobby Lobby a mile from me that's been open for about 6 weeks now. Went there when they opened and went last week. Same models and not a big selection. I can think of many models that they could add to the mix and wonder if it will happen or not. With Christmas coming up you'd think they ought to bring in a bunch more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Went by the Deerfield store yesterday and was a bit surprised to see the '59 Imperial. Edited November 8, 2019 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I've noticed the selection of Evergreen styrene that has turned up recently; not a big selection but things that I do use. I've got a LHS that carries it, but don't get there every week. They're also carrying some of their own products, like nylon paint brushes similar to Testors' cheap brushes (everyone I know hates those things; not me). In other areas of the store, they've got bags of 50 of those little plastic graduated cups for mixing resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After months of reading about the Porsche Tractor in here, I finally gave up and ordered one online. About a week later it showed up in Hobby Lobby. Of course. And you may be covered on the others. I've already bought the BRAT, 78 Dodge PU and '23 T online. So they should show up in HL any day now. ? I had always ignored that '23 T, thinking it was just another variation of the AMT '25 kit. No, it's a totally different kit with a multipart chassis. I have a couple of the '23 T Depot Hacks and am thinking about hot-rodding one.

Don't expect any resets to happen during the holiday season, maybe January or February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I went last week. Nothing new. It seems like they just replace sold out ones with the same. If I remember the new stock comes in after Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Mine was stocking the '60 Chevy Pickup. I saw it once. It has never been in stock since. I really wish I could get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local store has cards hanging off the shelf saying that model kits make great gifts. So they should be aware to stock up for the giving season!

The entire kit is a great credit to AMT of old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Yeah, I have one of the originals. I passed on getting one at HL, figuring that I'd get one on the next trip. NO such luck. I've only seen it the one time. I should just Mail-Order one at full price. THAT will get HL to re-stock them...........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Drat! I may have to do it anyway, if'n I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I always check Hobby Lobby on line. One of the girls that work in the model section told me, a lot of the time, they are at their site before they hit the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I just went to the local Hobby Lobby and saw a new kit! Well, not exactly new to most of us - the Revell '68 Chevelle SS-396. Those have been around so long, one online vendor was selling them for $16.33 back in July 2019. But I've never seen the kit at this HL before.

Tom99 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Nothing new at my local Hobby Lobby's. (4 Within a 10 mile radius) Edited November 12, 2019 by Tom99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Really????.... I gotta drive for an hour to get too the closest one...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nothing new at mine either! I breezed through yesterday for a quick look. Used my magic coupon to buy some K&S aluminum tubing. Yea, I'll even use the coupon for cheap stuff if there's nothing else I need or want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 My HL store finally has the Porsche tractor, a AMT 69 GTX convertible along with the Revell 302 Boss and 68 Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL3 Model Worx Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 My local Hobby Lobby is right between my house and my job, so I stop by frequently to check the kit selection and to exploit the 40% off coupon... The selection rarely changes, but now and again I find some "new" things... its always a joy when that happens. Of course you can't bring the bags inside while the wife is still awake!

SSNJim Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I've seen that Allison at my local HL, but didn't have any interest. I just googled the model number, and it is a pretty interesting engine. It's powered some of my favorite aircraft (C-130, P-3, C-2), and a marine variant is used as an electrical generator on all American cruisers and destroyers. If I can get anywhere near the mall this weekend, I'll pick one up with the coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
