Fleetside Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I just went to the local KB toys and they were having a sidewalk sale (even though they dont have a sidewalk they are in the mall) Had quite a few (Johnny Lightning) AMT models, 55 Nomad, 62 Catalina, Barris Ice Cream Truck, Dodge Daytona Charger, 69 Chevelle SS, 66 Mustang, and some that have been at Big Lots, (International Scout, 88 Daytona) all 4 bucks each. Not sure if this is a local thing since there aren't really any more around here to check, but if you have one by you, you may want to check.

thomas LB808 Labanon Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Makes me wish we still had a KB Toys. They went outta business about 5 years ago. LOL, me too. Ours shut down about 5yrs also. I remember one time they had BOGO on models and they where marked at $5. I snagged everything they had. Bought about 20 kits that day. LOL, 10 of them where lindberg "Littlered wagons".

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) When I was a youngster, there was a gentleman that had a large warehouse on the edge of town. He had some sort of arrangement where he got items from trainwrecks among other ways. This was back in the mid to late sixties, when models were selling for $1.50-2.00. He was selling them for half and sometimes for a little under half. His store was always packed, not just for models, but for all of the stuff he had. It was great until he was granted the honor of being a guest at a well known government sponsored institution for about 20 years; something about fraud, I do believe it was.
