martinfan5 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Went to one my HL today found no clearance kits at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator-Fox Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Probably once a week. Went to one a couple hours away from my home today just because a friend and I were out that way and I saw it. They had clearance kits but with a 40% off coupon at my location it would've been the same price. Nothing on clearance at my HL for the last few months Edited February 2, 2014 by Terminator-Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Both of the stores i went to still had all the clearance kits mixed in with the normal priced ones. I also went to the clearance sections and found nothing. Even the tools and sanding stuff were still in there normal spots but they all had the yellow mark down stickers on them. I urge you all to go back and check again.

58 Impala Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I go there as often as I can. I have the app on my phone- it always has the 40% coupon. Just recently bought the Revell 57 Ford and the Revell 69 Camaro ZL1 both for around $15 each. Today I got a can of Model Master lacquer for $3. The store near me has a good selection of pretty current kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I dont recall seeing any yellow stickers on the kits, but doesnt mean anything Our local one has been putting a clearance section at the end of each isle. For some reason lately they have been putting kits in the isle with the diorama stuff and x-acto blades, that's 2 or 3 isles away from the kit isle. I picked up a snap together monster truck for my son for 6 buck because of this, the box was banged up but the kit was fine, i also got a Tamiya weathering kit for 2.00 because someone dropped it and the snow one busted up and was everywhere. I got it home and wiped it down with a paper towel and the other 2 are fine. And our local one is raided by model builders several times a day! lol Edited February 2, 2014 by jrherald420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was at hobby lobby and lots if kits on clearance. I didn't get one but I hope some newer stuff gets their soon so I can spend my gift card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The Hobby Lobby here has kits on clearance, but they are just 40% off. Nothing that I couldn't already get with a coupon. Maybe they will go lower, but I doubt it. The last batch that went to clearance didn't get discounted less than 40%. The AMC Gremlin was one of the kits on clearance here, which kinda stinks because I was debating getting a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wilson Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Some of our local Hobby Lobbys (Dallas/Plano Texas) are marking down kits. The AMT Double Dragster, Gremlin, Munster Mobile, Grandpa's Dragster and Myer's Manx are some of the ones I've seen marked down. Most were 14.99, and the Myer's Manx was 13.99 or so.

cobraman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I was there yesterday and I did see a bunch marked down but only found one I had interest in and bought it. That one was the double dragster kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have a Hobby Lobby 1/2 mile from home, but I need to "thin the herd," and not buy more kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefropas Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Its just the standard 40% off you can get with their coupons (app or the paper). I was gonna wait for the deeper cuts....I just wonder what's gonna replace em... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hoping the Notch back Cop car Mustang finds its way on to the shelf. That and the Ford truck race car hauler, i will be there everyday for a week buying one of each of them if they stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
