PappyD340 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Yep I was there yesterday and picked up one of each couldn't pass up $8.49!!
JJ Deuce Posted March 19 Posted March 19 stopped in my store today. the clerk told me they haven't gotten the clearance notification yet but that she knew it was coming soon 1
TonyK Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Went to the Hobby Lobby by me on Monday to grab a can of paint and saw nothing like this. Have to walk all the way to the back of the store past 57 little shelf units of odds and ends but didn't see anything special. Oh, and saw the same model inventory from any other time I dropped in to the store. 3
BKF Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I picked up the 69 Yenko Nova, 67 Corvette and 67 Camaro at the one near work today. The Camaro was marked @ $7.74. Thanks for the heads up. 2
Tom99 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 No inventory reduction sale here at my local Houston, Texas stores.
Zen Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Picked up 6 kits yesterday on clearance. The clearance stuff is in the normal isle with all the other model stuff. Also noticed some craft paints & tools on clearance. 1
WillyBilly Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) Was in HL in Rochester, New Hampshire yesterday. No reduction sale. Just 40% biweekly sale. Edited March 23 by WillyBilly
slusher Posted March 23 Posted March 23 It’s rare for the one by me to have kits on clearance I even ask the manager and he said that we don’t Clarance models that was 2 yeas ago.. 1
Beans Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Olive Branch MS has them. You wouldn't know unless you look at the price tags. They are all still in the regular aisle. Some just had to clearance prices. They were pretty much gone except for the Bronco and the Nova. I grabbed the last Camaro and Malibu.
Zen Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Since most of the clearance items are gone by now does HL restock them every week. I'm guessing new stock is coming in eventually just wondering if they restock the clearance items.
magicmustang Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 (edited) They normally do not restock the clearance items. They use the empty slots for new items. They will put a tag in the slot with the description of the new kit going there. Edited March 24 by magicmustang
Carmak Posted March 24 Posted March 24 This is great news. Hobby Lobby is hopefully going to get 8 new models! 1
rattle can man Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Hopefully. But it could also mean they are reducing shelf space.
Gary Chastain Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Was at Hobby Lobby today and the clerk who knows me asked if I picked up any reduced price model kits. She said they are getting ready to reset the model department. I asked what does that mean. She said new kits will be added to the current lineup, she did not know if the selection would be made larger or stay the same size but will be happening soon.
mikemodeler Posted March 25 Posted March 25 In a somewhat related topic to this, seeing a few sellers on FB posting some of these kits for $25. I'm sure they think they are on the road to riches but only if someone buys the kit. 1 1

Looking the video of the DAAM show in Detroit last weekend on YouTube, one vendor looked like he blew out Hobby Lobby and Ollie's.

That vendor was up against the back wall right? If it was i did pick up a mercury kit he had for 15 bucks. I figured I spend more in gas looking at the ollies around me for that kit. 2
1930fordpickup Posted March 26 Posted March 26 The funny part about hobby lobby is 2 different stores not more than 15 miles apart one had kits marked down the other store did not. 2
bobss396 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I was in one last week, I found the clearance section, no models. I asked someone who was doing inventory, when is the 40% off thing happening. I was told, every other week. I'll be going later and will ask about models on clearance. There is always someone around to ask for help.

Otherwise they were just on the shelves like regular. 1

I will look today, there is another hobby store next door, their kits are never on sale. 1
Mark Posted March 26 Posted March 26 The clearance items have yellow price stickers on them. The 40% off every other week does not apply to those items.
