Nothing like that at my local HL.  Must be a regional thing.

Everybody everywhere says theirs does it. Yours would be the only one I ever heard of that doesn't do it. The weekly ad is for all stores (that I know of) and shows the sale every other week.

Okay, thanks.  I visit the store and see what I can find out.

What is so wrong with the Barracuda kit?  

A few minor things for strictly OOB build-ups :
- Incorrect engine compartment 
- Hodgepodge of 1967-1968-1969 tail lamp /valance 
- Incorrect, F-250-style 6-lug wheels as the option (thankfully, a nice set of period correct rims were added to the c.2015 ad seq. issues)

 

The kit's good attributes outweigh any of its shortcomings :
- Rare-in-1:1 "Recall" (W27) rims 
- Hurst Dual Gate consolette & shifter (in spite of the kit's having a 4-speed. This is an artifact of the kits' original issues which included a 225 six/ 904 'standard', and a 426 Race Hemi / 727 as the option)
- The only game in town for a '67-'69 Barracuda (though I'm keen on the hardtop and convertible styles those years more so than the fast back)
- Presents nicely as an OOB 'shelf candy' kit.
