Dave Van Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Might be best to add this to the two Ollie's threads running now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just left there and i only found 2 elliott cars. They did have 15 harvick kits. Every time we have a Model or toy show here that store is picked over.

I understand it is a clearing house store but why send 4 cases of the same kit to one store and not divide them up. I know money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get pallets of cased kits in from Hobbico, Break them down by case and ship them out. No rhyme or reason....just get them in stores so we can get some kind of ROI. What goes where is not much concern to a few warehouse workers.....it all looks the same. Pretty simple from a business point of view. I think they figure they will sell them all Christmas time.....Grandma will buy the dogs we don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Urgh, that's why Grandma keeps sending me those terrible kits ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 What we ought to do is buy multiple kits and then just trade them for the ones not in your area. We know how much they cost. Just pay for shipping and that should be $10 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprafastcelica Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have visited multiple stores looking for specificly the chase elliott kit. Hard to find. i have found 19 however. Hamburg NY-2 Mansfield OH-10 Toledo OH-2 Columbus south OH-5 However i found none at the following stores. Niagara falls NY Buffalo NY Dunkirk NY Erie PA Sandusky OH I did get other kits at these stores. I dont understand how ollies operates but it seems unorganized as far as inventory.

larman Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 They had bunches of those Chase Elliot and Havick cars in Quakertown, Pa. When I was there about a week ago there was probably a least a case of each. I have zero interest in the nascar stuff, and it doesn't look like they were moving very fast. I am guessing they will there for a while. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 For those in or passing thru Upstate South Carolina: Hit a huge Ollie's store today in Greenville, SC. Unfortunately it had pretty much the same kits as the smaller store in Anderson, SC. Two different Stroker McGurk kits, "Ghost of the Salt Flats" and the Hemi-powered surfboard. Piranhas, Danica Patrick and another NASCAR Ford Fusion. And the Flintstones car! No '29 Fords or '57 Corvettes. I'm starting to think Ollie's allots its kits by geographical region or something. It's interesting to read this thread and see what kits are in stock where around the country, anyway. Also stopped by a Hobby Lobby in Easley, SC. It had ONE Revell '85 Olds 442/FX-3 kit left on the shelf and I grabbed it. There are 2 other Hobby Lobbys near me and neither store has that kit in stock. I didn't even see a shelf space marked for it in either store. Maybe HL will refresh the kits as it gets closer to Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they are waiting on replenishment stock from Revell, which sounds like it's coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRWDRVR Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Not the best score but the trucks and trailer were 20 each and the Ford was 10... Still a good deal though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'll probably take a ride to the one in my neighborhood down the road and see what they have.... And then hit Nankin Hardware a couple blocks farther West and see what they have for models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanR Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Which Ollie's did you find the truck kits at? I checked one here in Cincinnati and it was mainly Lindberg kits and AMT cars. No trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
