RickRollerLT1 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Just got back from there... my former Big-K locatiom hada tona kits, huge display, mostly cars (a good things for us and a few Star Wars kits... quite decent selection and amazing prices! They had: '70 Plymouth Superbird '80 Ford Bronco '85 Mustang SVO Corvette C6 and ZR1 '63 & '64 Impalas Dodge Viper SRT10 'vert and ACR coupe '67 Chevelle SS '69 Mustang '98 Saileen Speedster 1/25th '70 Dodge Challenger '68 Mustang '10 Mustang GT, GT500, and '10 GT convertable snapper Lamborghini Diablo targa top snapper and the VT in the classic crusers line '58 Impala all the '55, '56, and '57 Tri-Fives they've currently have out Classic Crusers kits like the '32 Fords, '82 Corvette, '37 Ford, '55 F-100, Plymouth Prowler, VW Beetle, '64 GTO '06 Dodge Magnum, Chevy SSR, and Aerovette (weren't those discontuned years ago?) '72 Olds Cutlass and Hurst 442's (the first one I got) Monogram SSP reissue kits such as the Street Fighter, Ice T, and T'ranchula. All the glue kits were $14.99, Classic Crusers were $11.49, and the snappers were $9.99! They had more in the diecast car isle, but they were the same ol shat they had for months... with the $18.99 tags on them. I got the Olds Cutlass 2-in-1 and some quick & easy primer all for $25! what you would pay at the LHS just for the kit alone. This is NOT a holiday thing, some locations still have model kits, most with very small slections while others may have squat. Check your local stores around your aera.
Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Sounds like the same display I've seen in Wal Mart and Meijers. I guess we'll see if it's a holiday thing or not very soon.
440 Dakota Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 here there hasn't been kits in the box stores for many years except for Meijers gets a small assortment just for Christmas
Eshaver Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Hummmmmmmmm, I'll brave the IJITS on Midlothian an take a peek ........................ Ed Shaver
george 53 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 It's only for Christmas. They are in the midway because they won't carry them AFTER Christmas, so they don't give them shelfspace.
route66modeler Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 wait till after chrismas for them to put them on clearance. Steve
gray07 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Our Kmart has always had kits, my wife is there almost every week, and i always look at them.
Austin T Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 My K-mart has had a plentifull selection of kits ant good prices but my K-Mart is also in what some people may call the "Ghetto" side of town,So I don't visit much.

Sometimes for the right kit or kit that has parts you need ya gotta take a chance
george 53 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Most K-Marts carry a VERY limited amount of kits. Where they once had a 12 foot 3 tiered model section, they've reduced it to about a 3 foot length with about a dozen kits in all different scales(1/72 to 1/24th).
Dr. Cranky Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I guess it's worth checking out if they have that list.
BKcustoms Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 My local Kmart has carried kits for years.
Darren B Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Just wish Wal Mart would bring them back................
Chuck Most Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Local K Mart had them for the longest time. I was just in yesterday and they're nowhere to be found- guess they redistributed them out to all you guys.
Skydime Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) It is nostalgic to see kits in the box stores again. Kmart, Walmart, & Meijer still have them online at the links I provided before on another thread: Kmart http://www.kmart.com...?keyword=revell Walmart http://www.walmart.c...ch_constraint=0 Meijer http://www.meijer.co...?keyword=revell Edited December 25, 2011 by Skydime
ChrisPflug Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Just wish Wal Mart would bring them back................ Hopefully the manufacturers learned from the last go-around and it doesn't happen.......
