stavanzer Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Thanks, All. I've got the Gama Goat situation covered.
Fabrux Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Seabrook, NH store has lots of clearance items that have been mentioned earlier. Including the Gama Goat.
espo Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I finally got to do a little shopping today. I picked up 3 - '48 Ford 2'n1 kits and a '69 Corvette Yenko Coupe 2'1 at $7.49 each. I used a 40 % off coupon to get the last '66 Suburban they had. I'll mine the Corvette for parts and build the rest.
jchrisf Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Went back today and all the race cars were gone (which I got most but not all). All the other cars were still there and they added some new planes and other items. They had a Paasche VL for $34 so I had to get that. Two weeks ago I bought a Paasche H set off of Amazon for more than I got both the upgraded (glass bottle) H set and the VL set for from Hobby Lobby so I sent it back to Amazon and got a refund. I don't know much about the Iwata airbrush paint set but for $7 I figured I'll give it a try. I'm assuming the pine derby acrylic paints are the same as the plastic model acrylics. I didn't see the transparent black lacquer spray paint last week but they had one bottle left. I cleaned out the lacquer spray paints last week but they had more today. The trans black was up with the enamels and I skipped those. I posted what I got last week but here is a pic of the booty from today Edited June 29, 2018 by jchrisf
jchrisf Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Forgot to mention for all of you with kids or grandkids.. they had a real cool "Cars" Revell kit reduced too.
shoopdog Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Picked up the Thunderbolt last night for 7.49, would have liked to have picked up other clearance kits but I was on my bike.
larman Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I found An AMT '57 Ford and 2 McEwen Barracuda Funny cars for $7.49 at the HL in Easton, Pa. 2 Thunderbolts at the one in Trexlertown, Pa., also for $7.49. They had the the Snake and Mongoose dragsters, Mazda RX7, '53 Ford Convertible, '69 Yenko Corvette and a Porsche 914, all marked down at the Easton store, but I did not take those. Trexlertown had the Mazda, the '53 Ford and Yenko Corvette. they also had the '76 Torino and S&H Torino, I left those too. Also checked the Phillipsburg, NJ store last week and they had nothing marked down, they may have some now, but I haven't been back. $7.49 is dirt cheap! HL had much better deals this year than Ollies.
Tom Geiger Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Just back from the Exton, PA store. There were models on sale at $7.49, mixed in with the regular price kits. I bought the Porsche 914 and the '76 Torino. Left behind the McEwen Barracuda funny cars, Rx7, Datsun Z and the S&H Torino. They also had a couple AMT Dodge 300 super stock car, I know in the past they didn't put the slant six in the race versions... wondering if AMT did it this round? If so I'd buy them!

By accident today I noticed that for the same price in the sharpie isle, you can get the Molotow Chrome Pens in a larger size. Same tip sizes but the body of the pen is much larger.

oldcarfan Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Stopped by last night and got 2 Monogram RX7s for $7.48 and 2 Revell 914s for the same and while I was walking away I noticed they had a couple of the AMT display cases marked down to $3.49!
Robberbaron Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Stopped at my HL the other night. Really didn't expect mine to have much marked down, boy was I wrong! Got all of the following for $7.49 each: AMT '57 Ford, '64 Dodge, Revell '48 Ford, '64 Thunderbolt. Got 2 of the '69 Yenko Vettes: $6.74 each! Also had both Torinos for $7.49, but I have several already, so I had to pass. Edited June 30, 2018 by Robberbaron

I wasn't paying attention because I was there looking for markers and not the Molotow and had my arms full of the reduced items I got a pic of above... so it might have been there but I didn't notice it.

The Round 2 Color Me Gone Dodge (and Lawman Plymouth) do not include the slant six. Both have a number of newly tooled parts. The Dodge has the bench front seat which was not in the last Lindberg issue of the stock version (red car on the box).

I was asking since Round 2 is likely to include bonus parts... and I was hoping the slant six!
Snake45 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Well, all the marked-down model cars are gone from mine. Still had many of the kits, but back at full price. Couple airplanes were the only discounts. No really good colors in the Testor/Model Master rattlecans, either. Bought a couple just because they were cheap, but nothing I really needed. I did score a Paasche H airbrush set for $25, though, nearly $100 off normal price. Been wanting one for years. Now I'll get to see if it works as well as everybody has been telling me all my life.

Been wanting one for years. Now I'll get to see if it works as well as everybody has been telling me all my life. It is.. I was amazed at how I could dial down the paint volume and just sit in one place for a while slowly building up paint in hard to reach areas. The paint was dry as soon as it hit the surface. Then if I needed to put a lot of paint out it would and that was just with the #3 needle. I still have the #1 and #5. Tremendous control. Edited June 30, 2018 by jchrisf
Mark Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Of the three stores in my area, only one had anything marked down. My travels took me past all three earlier today, and that's what I encountered. I'll pass one of the "other two" again Monday afternoon, maybe they'll still have that '57 Ford on the shelf.
SSNJim Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I stopped at the Laurel Hobby Lobby today. Last Saturday, they had no discounts. Today, the shelves were pretty much picked clean of models. The full price ones were still there, but the only clearance ones they had left was a 2018 Mustang, a monster truck, a couple of the Lindberg 38 Custom Convertibles, and not much else. There were some Halo models, diecast, and a couple of airbrushes. I did check the rest of the store to no avail.
1930fordpickup Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I never thought to check for an airbrush today. I did get the Batmobile snap kit for 7.49
ChrisBcritter Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Went to Vernon Hills today and saw several gaps on the shelves; I was hoping for the '53 Ford pickup to be discounted but it wasn't. They still have both versions of the '76 Torino, the Porsche 914, and the Datsun Z. I did finally get a lighted X-Acto knife for $3.67 and a miter box for $1.97. Saw the Paasche airbrushes and was tempted; but I already have an Iwata Neo. If I did get another airbrush I'd want a gravity feed; they had that version of the Neo there but it was $49.95.
Hawk312 Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Still nothing in Hilton Head...everything regular price. I was really hoping to come home with an airbrush. At that price, that would push me over the edge (been painting with sprays only for 35+ years).
