I checked my local Hobby Lobby and their stock aren't on clearance nor any model kits. I wonder if it's a regional thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be - I haven’t been by recently to see if they restocked, or what happened to that rack of supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final straw was when she met Raoul the Pool Boy. I hope he's supporting her in the style to which she'd become accustomed. EDIT: I know digressions are frowned upon, so...maybe he'll go to work at Hobby Lobby. 100% back on track.

Robberbaron Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Welp, it might be happening. With the manufacturer's climbing MSRP's over the last year, I've been wondering when we would see the next HL price bump. Stopped at my nearest HL, surprised to see the shelves pretty well stocked. No new kits, and nothing out of the ordinary price-wise until I spotted the $37.99 price tags 😬 on the Revell '90 Mustang LX 5.0 Drag kits. Didn't see any other kits with similar increases, but I'm expecting as they restock we will probably see more increases. Since that kit had been $29.99 like the majority of their other kits, I'm expecting this may be their new baseline. If you're like 99% of the people on this forum and buy on the weeks with the 40% off, that works out to a $4.80 price increase per kit. Unfortunately that's not too different than what I've seen at my LHS. Edited July 1, 2022 by Robberbaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hobby Lobby no longer honor the 40% coupon on model kits. Hasn't advertised it in quite a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you mention that - I went to pick up a few Revell '68 Beetle kits last week and they were all marked at $29.99 except one right at the back of the rack, caked in dust, with a $19.99 sticker. Same kit, just dusty and old and cheaper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The wife and I were at HL in Owenboro Ky. on Saturday so I wanted to see what they had on their shelfs compared to back home. I spotted this kit that I have never seen at my store so I had to pick it up. Thought it would make a nice Pro Street since I'd seen someone else build one. It was not the 40% off week so I slept it in the cart along with all the wifes stuff and it got through the wifes radar. I'm a happy camper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 We all like our specialist materials, but HL I guess like any other business does not like to have very slow moving items being money tied up in stock that does not shift. If it gets discounted to clear it, then buy it while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 My local HL never discount anything if they’re not moving be it paint, specialty products or model kits. I guess it depends on the store and region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check with the store manager as the company policy is that the 40% off is bi-weekly and maybe your there on the wrong week. greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the biweekly 40% model discount is nationwide. Edited July 16, 2022 by Robberbaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I stopped at my local HL yesterday. Deja vu from the week before, so no additional price jumps on any other kits. 👍 I was hoping to get another Revell '29 Ford roadster, but they haven't had any in quite some time. Not sure if they're restocking them and they keep flying off the shelves, or if they're out of inventory on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I got the older Revell/Monogram 66 Hertz Mustang rent a racer kit for $14.99. I thought it was old stock but box side had been updated to RoG with call out for Revell paints and glue......so they must be running some of the older tools with a $24 MSRP. A good deal as you can't have to many Mustangs!!! I need to build this one.................... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 True story (not a war story). Several years back, around 2009, I was at a HL in Spartanburg, SC. At the time I had promised my wife I would not buy any more kits; I would just go look and drool. When we walked into the store there was a table out front with some clearance items on it. Right in the middle was a Monogram Big Deuce marked .........drum roll $11. Snatch, told the wife its real value, went and paid for it immediately. That kit had been on the shelf a couple weeks before for $79.99. I sold it a couple of years ago for $75.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Valpo store has had two or three in the shelf for a few weeks now; they kept putting out a new one once a week and I kept buying it, but I have probably a dozen now so they’re starting to pile up over there 🤪😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
