atomicholiday Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 We hit the Ollie’s in Kokomo IN yesterday. I didn’t bother with a pic because models were scattered in about 3-4 places. Nothing special there, but they did still have a case of the Rupp dragster snowmobile. I picked one up to add to the stash. Never had one before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 My first trip to Ollie’s in Overland Park, Ks., which I think might be the only one in the area. Very limited selection but I came home with a Monogram Dodge Vioer to add to my collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Stopped in the Pottstown PA Ollie’s yesterday. They had a few of the Coke trailers, Monopoly 34 Willys van snappers and a couple D50s. Left empty handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 If the price is $20 maybe Ollie's feel they were leaving money on the table. It will definitely curb those who buy the kits to resell. And they are still cheaper than the going rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabbysdaddy Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 At the one near me, the prices were $20 but went down to $13 for the car kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can zoom in and see the auto kits are tagged at $12.99, just like everywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 For what it's worth, I have seen some variation in pricing at my store. Before they sold out, I managed to find some '64 Galaxies priced at $9.99. Think it must have been a staff mistake, since there were also Galaxies priced at $12.99 on the same shelf.

JJ Deuce Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I saw an ad on TV this morning, announcing that we're getting two Ollie's locations here finally. [edit] I looked up online to see where the stores would be and discovered that we already had one location. I went by and they didn't have much, but for 12.99 I went ahead and grabbed the Manx and the 72 Chevy truck.

TarheelRick Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hope you will not be disappointed when you discover the truck is molded in red, at least the one left at my local Ollie's was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Round 2 for a replacement and they said ALL of the kits they had to pull parts from were bent. They couldn’t send me one.

It’s not ideal but I’ll probably just use it for parts. I mostly got it for the Coke machine. 2 hours ago, atomicholiday said: How’s the steering wheel in your truck kit? Mine was badly bent.

Tabbysdaddy Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm working near the Hiawassee Ollie's again. Still a decent variety, several Rat Fink trucks, mail trucks, short bugs, etc. But still no vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I've been watching what different Ollie's has from what people have been posting. I see these Classic Cruisers Monogram/Revell kits such as the 56 Chevy and 69 Camaro. These were the Re-package kits by Ollies. (The Ollie's price tags were under the clear plastic) Recently my son picked up an AMT 63 Impala (the ones that Wal-Mart had awhile back.) Our local Ollie's had a single case of the Impalas with the custom body, he picked up the last one they had. I'm just wondering what other unique kits are out there... the Camaro is cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Camaro a recent addition to ollie's? I know this is by no means one of the the better camaro kits, but it brings back a flood of memories for me.

Zen Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I'd buy that Camaro if it were available locally, the wheels & tires are pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
