NYLIBUD Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Oh Man the new one that just opened up last fall near me is STILL closed.Give me a break.The Michaels across the parking lot is open.Just have to wear a mask.And no more AC Moore.But they never really had much of anything.Hobby Lobby is packed with stuff I can use,from stacks of models,to model railroad stuff.I called them to see when they are going to open again,,and I was told several times,they had no idea.They’re gonna go broke soon.

stavanzer Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 One thing about ours, that I've noted since they reopened. It is packed! Every time I've gone, it has been jammed full. Long Checkout Lines, No Parking, and the aisles are full too. And, no, nobody can be seen with cloth and elastic tape to make Masks. They are all buying the same, cheap "Made in China", Home Decor POS that H.L. is famous for.............. I'm not sure what's going on.

Tom Geiger Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Mine has been open, I’ve only gone twice midweek so it wasn’t all that crowded. First trip I got the BSI thick ca glue I needed. I am surprised how far I nursed my last bottle along during the shutdown. And I got two cans of Testors Extreme sprays to use on my Jeepster. That’s it! Second trip was just to see if they had gotten the 67 Chevy, but they hadn’t so I left empty handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The Toledo store is open. I guess it could be located in Slyvania as the line is close there. They had the 67 but it was not on my wish list. I gave my coupon to a guy there with 2 kids in tow. I don't really need a new kit, I just wanted to get out.

TonyK Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Went in the other day for a can of spray paint. The color I needed was out! <sigh> Looked at the models and saw the same ones that I see always. Nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get what they get from corporate Likely depends on when they get shipments from the model companies. As we have seen, not every new release ends up there so gotta take what they get and use the internet to find the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I. Went to Gatlinberg with. My wife’s family to their condo for a week and the hobby lobby their is stock with everything not new.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I finally had the time to swing by my Hobby Lobby. The had the 67 Impala 4 door. With 40% off, it was $17.99. Grabbed some thinner, because I was low, and some wood sticks to make window frames for my diorama. I looked at some rattle can paints (30% off), but resisted the urge as I need to document my existing inventory. I really need to get my 1st airbrush then learn to decant what I have.

stavanzer Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Was at my HL Wednesday. More empty spots on the Car Shelves. No More "Supernatural" kits. The '59 Chrysler is gone too. No other new kits, it's now S.S.D.D. (same stuff-different day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I’m at a show and a vendor is selling Tamiya sprays at a discount I’d buy a few.. to get home and find I already had unopened cans of the same colors. At least my taste is consistent!

I’d been wondering about that BSI thick glue Tom - how long do you find it takes to set up? I’ve been wondering about trying that instead of 5 minute epoxy for wheel-gluing chores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a kicker on it but be warned... a thick coat with kicker will sometimes expand and more than fill the gap. I had an issue putting a Model A to chassis, it wouldn’t sit flat.. took it apart to find the solid glue sitting there like a shim!
