misterNNL Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I just looked at the HL ad for this coming week and they are having another featuring boxed model kits at 40% off.(Are they un-boxed ones available?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre_tec Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 New to the hobby? Never have been to HL? Most of the time they have the 40% discount on model kits. They used to be a discount coupon now is 40% on all models, although most common critique is the lack of variety between stores. Since mine is more than 100 miles away(Puerto Rico) if I were you will try to fill the cart, doesn’t matter if repeated. Happy Modeling!

RSchnell Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I haven't been in HL in a good while since they always have the same kits, but may take a stroll through there tomorrow just to see if they've anything that excites me.

Hobby Lobby has a history of screwing up orders and sending the wrong kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 You have to look carefully online. They sell some kits by type, eg 4x4, which may include a Ford, a Chevy, and a dodge. Which one you get is up to them. There is a disclaimer about it next to the picture of the kit. If you want a specific kit you gotta call them.😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customline Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 They have that disclaimer on the '53 Stude in a tin box. How many choices do they have on that one? I was going to order it but then I saw the "note" down below the description so I started looking around and ordered another '29 roadster 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Odd way of doing business. Sounds like they have an inventory control issue. Wonder if they do the same for other products. If you order paint do they send a random colot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clearance section had an AMT '70 Camaro (orange version) that was missing the grille, for $5.74. I already had a Model King issue that I bought minus front bumpers for a buck (back when it was new; that hobby shop closed four years ago), so I grabbed this one. I thought someone might have swiped the grille and then returned the kit...nope. Sealed bag with the plated tree inside, no grille on the tree. They also had an HO scale slot car set...don't know the original price, but it was marked $65. Both cars were missing...Round 2 should think twice about making them so easy to get at without opening the box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one already that I don't want to build 🥴 but I could sell the box on Ebay for hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars!🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I stopped by my local HL today and grabbed a few kits. See "what did you get today". One thing I noticed since my last visit- they have shrank the kit section to add more gundam & stars wars type stuff. Looks like they cut out some armor & aircraft, car kit selection looked to be unaffected. Didn't want to grab pics as there was an employee doing inventory in the aisle.

Got it on clearance somewhere. I know it's historic but it's way too long. Won't fit in a regular display box. Good for parts though 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Stopped at my local HL (Hobart, IN) on the way home from work. Was happy to see the '64 Olds Cutlass/442 hardtop, first time I've seen that one there. Grabbed the only one they had on the shelf, and was ready to head to the checkout when I realized there was a hole punched in the bottom. Fairly small and looked like it was probably from shipping/stocking, but it was big enough that someone might have been able to slip the tire pack out through it. Either that and/or the possibility of damage made me set it back on the shelf. Been dealing with too many kit returns lately. Hopefully I can find a clean one soon. Unfortunately this HL is famous for stocking certain kits one time, then they're MIA ever after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Yes Robberbaron, I also picked up three 1964 Olds Cutlass hardtops from two different Hobby Lobby's last night . At 40% off you can't beat the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Going to try to locate a 442 this week. Robberbaron, you should have asked to open to inspect the contents. I know there was one damaged at a HL near me and the allowed me to inspect a damaged box before purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfffftttt.... it was actually not Andy (the hobby shop owner) that posted those videos you are referring to. Andy's is a very well stocked, very well run model shop. I would certainly go there more often, but it is over 70 miles one way for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 went by Hobby Lobby in Jackson, Tn stock seems to be going backwards. 32 Coke sedan delivery back but they did have a convertible 64 Oldsmobile.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I never saw those 32 Sedans in the HL near me - got lucky at Christmas…Walmart had them so I got one there instead. I’d pick up a few of those for $18 a piece just for some of the parts!
