Hobby Lobby is the largest single retailer buying from R2....It could be they are drop shipping their kits now.....thus getting them same time or BEFORE R2 gets them.

In the 8/15 email newsletter........ We also will be releasing another Press Release later in the week related to some classic Monogram Snap Kits originally released in the 1970's! -
First off I removed all the Aero skirts. I then used plastic stock to fill these voids and reshaped to a stock look. The mirrors are from a Lindberg Caravan van kit. The wheels came from some die cast but can't recall. I made the emblems on my ALPS in chrome foil. Thanks

Rodding trends - Lack of Model Ts?
Dave Van replied to Earl Marischal's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have no issue with it........When I lived in Charlotte and knew many NASCAR shop guys (I had a NASCAR license company) used parts were often free or really cheap......BUT it was a risk.....they had often been used by a top level team....then a entry level team....then were free. Many parts were still good....but carried a risk. This guy being a engine builder could sort the good from bad easier than most of us.....and could rebuild if a issue came up. When NASCAR goes to the next Gen car I am going to try and pick up a few FORD 9" rear axle assemblies as they will not be in the next Gen car.....and there are HUNDREDS in use today! -

That T body looks stretched.......which is what I'd do if I ever built one. -

They could not give the Civil War cannon away........kept waiting for them to mark them down......never did. -
Hobby Lobby re-opening
Dave Van replied to Mike999's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Went Monday and no clearance.......but lots of empty shelves from the big restock last week.....so no need to clearance things yet at mine. This HL is the only store selling model kits for about 75 miles in any direction.....so I see why they sell. -
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I remember when the 48 Chevy was announced it was the 'first of a long line of kits' I had hoped it was more than 3....but they are nice..I have all of them and a few trailers. -

The Revell Midget kit was a project wanted by a person in Revell that had the power to OK the project and how well it did didn't come into play. -
