Robberbaron Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Stopped at the Merrillville store again yesterday, nothing but a handful of 007 Galaxie police cars left. I'll probably never need to buy another one of those Galaxies, I still have half a case of the Hobby Heaven reissue from about 20 (?) years ago...

RSchnell Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Ollie's in Merritt Island, FL got a few new kits in. Nothing earth shattering, but if you're in the neighborhood..... I may go back & grab another '40 Ford Coupe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 $13 for the Trikes is to high....or I'd get a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ships, Missiles, etc. That's close to full retail price on those! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the is the price point that should have been retail so those and the Wacky Racers should have been $8.99 to move at a bargain store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Merrillville, IN store is down to just a couple Atlantis airplane kits. Nothing automotive right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Around here, the stock varies wildly between the two stores within my reach. One had a pretty decent assortment until a couple of weeks ago. It looks like someone came in and cleaned out the "better" stuff, I'll probably be seeing some of that all summer at the outdoor automotive swap meets at double the price until they get tired of lugging it around. Meanwhile, at the other store...a bunch of Monogram '82 Corvette snap kits...but in the paint section, they had Duplicolor filler primer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The Merritt Island. FL Ollie's kit selection is frozen in time. Compare the pics I took today with the ones I posted on March 2. LOL I figured the scalpers would've cleaned this out. Even HL had a bunch of untouched clearance kits the other day. Weird! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I will check mine again but nothing last two times. I would like to find one of those 68 Hot wheels Charger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaro lover Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Ever since hearing about getting good deals on kits at Ollies I’ve wanted to check them out. Yesterday the wife and I took a road trip and I noticed an Ollie’s on our ride. As soon as I saw the store I told my wife we’ll be stopping there on the ay home. They had a small display on an end cap of a toy aisle. I found 3 kits I decided to buy. I wasn’t necessarily looking to buy anything in particular but the 3 pictured caught my eye. And for 12.99 each I couldn’t resist. So know I know what the hype is all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hard to pass up the 12.99. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Darn, I only ended up with a handful USPS Pintos and 70 Galaxies following me home. Nice score there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Excuse my ignorance being a Brit living across the pond. What kind of store is Ollies? Looking at the posts on here they seem to have lots of stores all over the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the posts on here they seem to have lots of stores all over the US. Ollies is a store where merchandise that doesn’t sell at normal retail locations can be purchased at a pretty steep discount. They buy big lots from major retailers. The downside is that there is usually no continuity of products. You have to check back frequently to find the gems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky man, My local ollie's has nothing but non sellers! a total of 4 models to choose from three Atlantis kit's and the Mach 5 speed racer junk. I has hoping that ours would get the great Dane trailer, but no dice, and nobody wants what I have for trade for one either!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The Great Dane trailer is all my Ollie's has left. Tons of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
