Don't want to be Grumpy Cat, but....

I visited my normal (but not favorite) HL last Saturday evening with the idea to buy two Revell kits that I decided I needed since it was 40% off week. As I walked in, the two checkout lines each much have had 15 customers waiting. I had to pee, and there are enough unhoused folks in the area now that you need an employee to give you the code to the restrooms now (new to me at this location). No employees available anywhere of course. I looked at Amazon and discovered that I could have both of these kits delivered to my door for about $2/kit more than I could get them from HL for and I wouldn't have to waste 20 minutes of my life behind Karens with overflowing shopping carts arguing about 50 cents on some dried flowers. Done. $39.95 minus 40% is not a deal for reissued Revell kits.

I agree Steve, I live about 40 miles one way. I have bought kits other places to save on getting out and the check out lines. They don’t have a code for the bathroom but the only time I step in is when I go to my doctor..

Today I noticed the identical hobby knife and blades in two different sections,  two different prices. Just a heads up for everyone

I saw the Green Hornet model there a few weeks ago. Already built one and very glad they produced this model but unfortunately there's nothing else you can do with it.

I have some ideas for making a Stock-ish car out of the kit. Leaving out almost all the Green Hornet stuff, and adding new wheels and tires. (the wheels from the either the '58 Christine kit or the '59 Imperial kit). Subtle things, but a change.
