James W Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Fred Meyer, a Northwest retail chain, has returned models back to their shelves. I found a selection of Revell re-release subjects with 1:24/1:25 scale cars going for $11.99. This is the first time I have found models in a non hobby/craft store since W-Mart pulled them. I hope this is a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I miss that store! I used to live in Everett WA and loved the one there. I wish we had them here and wow the kits are not 17.99 like everywhere else??? Too cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWood Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Better grab um while you can James, at that price, it won't be long before they see they have made a mistake. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kombi Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I think the Fred Meyers in Tualatin and Newberg have always carried kits. However, the amount of space they give them has been reduced significantly over time and I've seen nothing to suggest that is changing at least in the Newberg store. The prices are pretty low, but their selection is extremely limited with usually less than a dozen different auto kits including snap-tites.

Never seem them but haven't gotten to Newberg in a long while.. I did see One Plane model at the Tualatin Freddies last week.. Weird.. Funny the cost of a model at a Fred Meyers compared to a LHS.. 1/2 has much but Fat chance at finding any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVZ2881 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I never knew Freddies stopped carrying them. Every year when I come up to visit family I stop at atleast a few different Freddies in the Eugene, Portland, Salem and Astoria areas to see whats kits are on the shelves, but it has been 2 years since my last trip..

That might go hand in hand... We all know what they cost at the LHS, so when we find them somewhere for half that, we buy em up. We don't have Fred Meyers in Texas...
