cobraman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I got an email from HL this morning saying Wet Look Clear was back in stock. Sure enough it was so I bought some ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited MONTHS for HL to get that kit when it was first released, so I could buy it for 40% off. None of the 3 HL stores near me ever got it in. So I finally gave up and bought it online. That also happened with the Revell Porsche Jr. tractor. I waited and waited, ending up buying it online. About a week later the kit showed up in HL. As with so many things HL, there seems to be no rhyme or reason when new kits will show up. This local store already has the '66 Buick Wildcat, 007 Galaxie and Mustang, and a few other very recent releases. Mine has yet to get the Dodge pickup in.

HomerS Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I guess their new pricing structure is raise prices ten percent and put the kits on sale for 40% off. At least pull off the old price sticker or improve your aim when putting the new higher price on. AMT stuff was now $32.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also though I should have bought the one I saw at Micheal's. Micheals has been getting some different kits in. But it's hit or miss. I wish they would update their model selection on line.

Maybe with new owners Michaels' can improve a lot of things in their stores. I would shop for models there is they had a better selection and their prices weren't all over the place.

stinkybritches Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I visited the new HL near me that's been open about 2 weeks. Very limited model car shelf space. Not much in the way of paint either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuces ll Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I heard on the local news that Target's is gonna add an arts and crafts department in their stores... I hope they include a model kit section with plenty of supplies....🤗🤔🤗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I stopped in Michael’s on Sunday to get some poster board and couldn’t believe how bad the model section had shrunk. They had maybe a dozen car kits.. not a dozen different stock numbers but a total of a dozen kits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micheal's isn't really great at keeping what they have in the stores with their owebsite. They never update their on-line model kit selection. Kind of have to hit the stores to see what they have.

Zippi Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 40% off once again. Online sale started last night and in store sale starts today. Going to pick up another 56 Foose pickup for $16.19 to use the rolling chassis on another project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not too surprised if they increase the prices on kits. Even their paint lines are priced more than most LHS and online stores. Vallejo paints... $4.99?!? Really, Hobby Lobby?

Brian Austin Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I just went to a HL in my area for the first time. Got a Revell snap '57 Chevy and a can of Testors spray paint for a touch less than $20 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looks like they stopped their 40% coupon at the Stow Ohio location plus the coupon doesn’t show up on my HL app either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall using it recently, maybe a month or two ago for my wife’s baking supplies. I literally just looked at my app and discovered the coupon option is gone! Considering I have a small hobby shop full of kits anyway, don’t really mind not using it for that. They weren’t always the best price or selection. At least in my neck of the woods. Seems their data base was recently hacked too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the coupon on my phone so I always had one. When I’d go in the store, of course I’d check for model kits first. When usually they didn’t have anything I wanted, I’d grab some supply item.. can of Testors flat black or Dullcote, a pack of Evergreen or stamp collectors pages from the next aisle. I’d always try to buy something at the discount so not to waste the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 In addition to kits being 40% off this week, they are also giving free basic shipping to orders over $50, so if you want to see if what you are looking that the store may be out of, check out the selection online and maybe they have it there.

Be careful ordering kits online from HL. They are known to just substitute another one if out of stock, as if a puzzle is just a puzzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
