Mike999 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The Hobby Lobby 40% off on all kits sale is back again this week (10/18 thru 10/25). I got the flyer in an e-mail this morning. A few days ago, a Hobby Lobby employee told me that she thought they would be doing this kit sale every other week until Christmas. Looks like she was right.

Looks like she was right. Pretty much confirms what I heard down here too. 2 different gals at two different stores told me it would be 'in the sale rotation'. Be nice if they'd get some fresh never before stocked inventory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I was at the Trexlertown, Pa store yesterday and it was pretty picked, but they did have the new issue Revell '71 GTX. 3 or 4 on the shelves. That's one of the newest issue kits I have seen at any of the ones I go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Same here in Columbia, TN. Kinda like not restocking much. I'm also wondering about the Testors paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Christmas in October! Stopped by the closest Hobby Lobby today and it had re-stocked, just in time for the 40% off sale. I scored... 1. '67 Chevy Impala 4-door "Supernatural." I got one at this store months ago and it hasn't been on the shelves since. 2. '59 El Camino "Art Box." Haven't seen that one on the HL shelves in a while, either. A great kit and a great parts source for updating the chassis of an original AMT/SMP'60 Elky, among other things. The chassis is pretty well-detailed for a 1964 release, including steerable front wheels, and stuff like 4 coil springs and a separate rear sway bar. 3. OFF TOPIC! The Monogram (now Revell) 1/48 scale B-25. This kit takes me back to the 1970's and Shep Paine's diorama inserts, which got many of us started building dioramas. The latest Revell version has all the parts in the box to build a glass-nosed or gun-nosed version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look closely enough at the little pictures on the box side. This kit is the B-25J with 2 different glass noses: a standard version with 1 machine gun, or the glass-nosed version with 5 machine guns mounted in front. All those guns sticking out fooled me into thinking it was a solid nose. Just looked again with my reading glasses on...? Both aircraft are from the 345th Bomb Group "Air Apaches."

BlackSheep214 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Picked up the '64 Plymouth Beldevere kit for $17.99 with the 40% off. Figure I'd get it since it comes with the slant 6 engine option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure I'd get it since it comes with the slant 6 engine option. That is the nicest slant six ever done in our scale! When Spotlight Hobbies had a release on clearance a while back I bought a case of six. The slant sixes are gold to me and the chassis fits under all the Johan sixties Mopars!

mikemodeler Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Went tonight to get another 84 GMC Deserter for a donor, almost grabbed two but figure I will get one next time. As I was looking over the shelves, someone had marked the 65 Chevy Step Side pickups at $15.99. Needed one of those for some parts so I walked to the front and after 40% off, I was out the door under $30 tax included for those two kits!

CabDriver Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 One of my two local stores is pretty well stocked, except for the Revell 29 that I was actually after yesterday, but the other store has had half-empty shelves for a while. They had one of the AMT 34 truck a couple of weeks back, which I brought home - and behind it on the shelf were 3 of the same kit but in the Lindberg box. They’ve since gone too - so it seems like they could use some more hot-rod-type kits in their range if those spots keep getting cleared fairly quickly. Neither of the stores by me seems to be able to keep those 29s in particular on the shelves for very long...that said, I DO keep buying them when I see one, so...

Mike999 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Stopped by the Hobby Lobby in Easley, SC today. It had 2 kits I've never seen in the store closest to me: the Revell 1/24 '76 Chevy pickup and the '70 Firebird (Trans Am, even if it doesn't say so on the box). Like my closest store, this one had also restocked the "Art Box" AMT '59 El Camino. People have been asking about that kit around here recently, and talking about finding one on eBay. The retail HL price is $32.95 but the 40% off brings it down to $19.77. A hard price to beat, especially with the cost of eBay shipping.

youpey Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) i dont know if this is posted elsewhere, but loooking at hobby lobby website, most if not all. models are on sale, no coupon needed https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Model-Kits/c/9-184 unfortunately, i just bought the gmc snow plow pickup before the sale. but i used the coupon, so i paid the same price. i dont think you can double up on the coupon and the sale (i dont work for hobby lobby and i am not getting any commissions or anything. just wanted to share with my fellow modelers) Edited November 5, 2020 by youpey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 You cannot use the coupon on a sale item, but I have noticed they have had a lot of sales, I sent an email to the company to see if they are going to discontinue model kits, as I have not seen any new inventory in quite some time, despite the multiple quarterly releases.
