mikemodeler Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I stopped in the HL in Kenosha Wisconsin today to find that they have the same selection of kits as the HL stores in NC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfhess Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I went to local HL the other day to make sure they still had all the same kits in stock. In the usual kit aisle, I was greeted by model railroad stuff, Evergreen, tools and other supplies. On the other side, was the Testors paint rack and the empty case that normally holds the spray cans (at the opposite end of the row from where it formerly stood). The rest of that side if the aisle was empty. Not even shelving. I found the kits a couple of aisles over. They are rearranging the store.

slusher Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Mine was rearranging the store and only had a third of the models they usually do. I was very disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I also found the model isle moved during my last visit to HL in Overland Park Ks. This may be a companywide thing where they are rearranging how items are displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they bring back the models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 This forum will go into meltdown if Hobby Lobby does away with model kits. At least we won't have to hear "I hope Hobby Lobby gets this kit" or any other 900 variations of that. (I plan to hit my local one up next 40% off week. There's a couple there I need. ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Re-setting aisles in retail stores is a very common procedure and could mean they have more stuff coming into that aisle or need to adjust the shelves or locations of the models. Their selection depends on what their buyers choose or are offered by the model companies and I am sure they know that Mustangs and Camaros are must haves!

They are probably rearranging the store to confuse and amuse you (and buy more stuff that you find while searching for the kit half aisle) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby Lobby sucks anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSheep214 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Honestly, I miss the days where I used to buy model kits at Kmart, Toys R US, Woolworth's, Kaybee Toy and Hobby, etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Timmy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I miss "ACTUAL" hobby stores . ( but, yea, Toys-R-Us had quite the selection back in the day. Kaybee too. K-Mart was kinda hit and miss, they either had a bunch of kits, or 3. ) Edited August 23, 2023 by Little Timmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
