I like getting 40% off a can of $11 Tamiya Primer, I care less about the companys religious views,  saving money trumps that, and always will.

Thank GOD I found Ignore..........

Its a very nice feature to use

Agreed! Who cares about their views. I bet there would be a lot of companies you wouldn't go to cause of their views if you found out! I enjoy going to HL...Joe

...and this quasi religious staying closed on sunday business...what is that some kind of throwback to the bible belt 50s?

Actually if you read their sign it's not just for religious reasons, it's for family also.

Our once local Hobby Shop always closed on Sunday....Joe

[Agent G]

Maybe I'll do it just for you from now on. 

 

 

Where I'd the HL in Henderson. I delivered to Vista Materials twice last week. I'm up.there at least once a week. I'd like to swing in there.

You have to befriend the person in charge of that aisle. Schmooze him or her if possible and you'll see an improvement.

My ex showgirl type who runs the department at the Henderson HL is always willing to try and order new stuff.

What can you lose?

The Henderson HL is in the plaza on the north west corner of Sunset and Stephanie. The Galleria Mall is right across Stephanie St.

thanks.

 

why do posters here quote a long block of text just to add "thanks"? not to criticize too much but its almost as bad as quoting huge blocks of photos...probably worse because at least then you got to look at the photos. Again. and again.

I personally hate hobby lobby and I have only been there once. its the Walmart of models and that's not good. and this quasi religious staying closed on sunday business...what is that some kind of throwback to the bible belt 50s? everything about the place irritates me...the staff at the place I went couldn't seem to care less, the stock was a joke, prices were a joke, and the whole thing just reminded me of a cattle drive. guess this is one for what irked me today  but its not just today. maybe it would be better if the one I went to had a "showgirl type" but they were pretty much all church ladies and gentlemen.

give me a real LHS or, barring that, the internet.

I have tried G...he says they never know what they will get in and its up to corporate.  Id order on line from those other places but its a funds issue for me...cost of the kit and shipping adds up fast and my budget is pretty poor to work with.

True, but when you consider 40% off, plus (usually, for me) no tax, even with the cost of shipping included, can still be a good deal.

Perhaps they haven't yet figured out the default behavior of the new software, can be edited as required/desired.

oh yeah, thanks

I do enjoy the attention of a whiner. 

I like showgirls........

hey dave maybe you didn't find it fast enough? (insert middle finger smilie that he won't see because he is (boo hoo) ignoring me...)

want a whine? heres one:

 

used to be that people were willing to pay a little extra to support their community, by buying from local business that keep the dollars local. the were kept local because the owner of the shop, say, was a local so every bit of his profits, pretty much, and most of his overhead, went right back into the community via grocery buying, rent paying, shopping locally etc. then a whole bunch of people, either through true need or probably more like just because they don't think past their next paycheck, started ignoring local businesses so they could "save" 5% on goods in big stores, where all their money, aside from minimum wage pittances to their "customer service professionals", went elsewhere and many times that also meant their money went in large amounts to causes that were counter to their own long range well being. so now, instead of actually doing something tangible for a living, everything local has pretty much dried up and that leaves these people as wage slaves to far away masters with very little way out of an ever increasing squeeze.

THATS what shopping at hobby lobby, for instance, does for you. your money is on a one way trip out of your community and will not support you in the least bit in the future. I believe in supporting those who support me. obviously many here do not agree. best of luck in the coming few decades because in most cases you will not be able to support your lifestyle which includes discretionary spending for stuff like well you know, hobbies, because you will be doing the equivalent of flipping burgers for minimum wage at some hellhole of employment like wally world or hobby lobby. then you will see who the "whiners" are.

so you know what? be derisive all you want, call it whining, make fun of the messenger, put me on ignore, whatever. I know that being tempted with 40% off coupons make it a hard sell...but really most of your purchase is not covered by that discount, so even that is largely an illusion. I try to spend my $ a little more wisely  these days, at least from an ethical standpoint, but you really don't have much choice because most of that choice has already been taken away by the mass market influence of these huge multinational corporations. so in that case I buy over the internet: I don't have to deal with being in traffic jams, I don't have to deal with rude clerks, and I don't have to settle for 5% discounts in exchange for a good chunk of my life. I would rather go down to a local family owned hobby shop and plunk my hard earned there (especially if they supported me by like for instance ordering kits or supplies that i needed) and know in some way I was supporting myself and my community by doing so...but the reality is there are BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH few of those LHS still around. I will be darned though if I am going to give my money to some relative (literally or figuratively) of Donald Trump and then have to listen to their noise about how its all about "family values" that they are worried about while they are in fact working against that very "family value" they trump up so much. isn't it funny that most of the "family value" trumpeters in history end up getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar (if not in the showgirl)? and with HL its is definitely a religious thing, masked somewhat by the more PC "family values" banner, but its a very thin veil.

end of (current) whine

So, no, I guess I haven't noticed that my local Hobby Lobby is low on stock. 

as for the endless quoting, its a matter of courtesy. just like it has been suggested (and ignored) here many a time over the years I have been here that people do not quote endless strings of photographs particularly not to reply "thanks" or something.

now I am off to build (and FINISH) some models while you boys discuss.
