I've been there a few times and in fact picked up a Police car model today.

Supplies are getting low at the one I went to however.

I don't know how wide spread they are but they do have decent prices on things.

I have gotten several models for 7.99 each.

Large Duplicolor paint cans for 1.00 each.

Bought a nice 12 inch oscillating fan for the hobby room for 14.99.

Oilles? ;)

(in my Curly voice): Never hoid of 'em.

A regional chain?

Oh, a wise guy! It's Ollie's, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. :rolleyes: I think it's an eastern U.S. thing, one of those "overstock, closeout" type places.

Harry,

It is another type of Big Lots outlet stores. They have been expanding and I wouldn't be surprised to see them in Illinois soon if they aren't there already.

They recently had a bunch of Lindberg models, supposedly leftover from a warehouse fire Lindberg had. Most of the kits were going for $7.00 or so.

Nice!

I've never seen one around here, but like you say... maybe... :rolleyes:

not on the east coast...

We have them in Virginia...

Word was they received lots of overstock from a Lindberg warehouse that was heavily damaged (kits are perfectly fine), enough where they couldn't store it anymore. They made a deal with Ollies to sell to them what they had at basement prices, and they've been selling lots of Lindberg kits most hobby stores have in stock at 150% or more in price.

I'm now looking at my 2 Space Shuttle w/ Booster Rockets that usually go for $45 ~ $55 each that I got for $10 each. Worth it.

We have one close to where I'm at here in West Virginia too, across the river in Ohio.

And if you're talking about the 1/200 scale Shuttle w/ Boosters, I'd like to know where you seen them for $45-$55 so I don't EVER shop there!!! ;):D;)

I bought mine at a local LHS here for $19.99! Oh and by the way, don't believe the box when it says it has all 6 shuttle names in it, either. Challenger is NOT on the decal sheet! :D

Also in Maryland. 1/25 cars (Crown Vic, '53 Ford, F150 Off Road, others) $7.99, Rammunition (Raminator?) monster truck, $9.99, 1/32 cars, $5.99. All Lindberg. This was a while ago, don't know what they have left.

Truth on the "Challenger" absentee. Our LHS had them for around that price a month or so ago.
