crazyjim Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hello everyone. I wanted to pass the word that this week Hobby Lobby has a 30% discount on plastic model kits and diecasts.

He used to work at Ryders, our local hobby shop!(Now DownRiver Hobby's) So I kinda got an inside on the new kits comin out! Maybe if I just ask him to put one or two away for me, I won't hafta go all over tarnation lookin for 'em!!!

Now the closest I have is Hobby Lobby an hour away.
george 53 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 James, did Ryders go OUT of buisnass? The Taylor store became Down River Hobbies, The Canton store closed at least 8 years ago, and I've never been to the main store in Ann Arbor. Was there a Jackson store too?? Yeesh I gotta feelin there tryin ta put the local hobby shops outta buisness with the big, larger craft stores !
JamesW Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Yes George, they went out of business. I left town for a couple years between 2000-2002 and when I came home they were gone, the store was empty. I've been meaning to go to the flagship store in Ann Arbor or Lansing for a while, just haven't found the time. There were a few times I went in there that I spent my WHOLE check ($250-$300). It really irritates me because they carried things that even Hobby Lobby doesn't. If I want to buy any DECENT kits, I have to drive to Adrian to Hobby Lobby. All we have here is Micheal's or a VERY overpriced LHS that doesn't have much of a selection.

Gray Smith Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 i'm trying to convince myself that I need to go pick up Roscoe's Police car that I saw at lunch time..lol I've got 3 Hobby Lobbys, 5 Michaels, 2 Hobbytowns, and 1 mom and pop hobby store to choose from and by far I like the mom and pop place and hobby lobby the best
