Tom Geiger Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The 77 Celica is another kit I've been searching for, I owned one of these back in the 80s, the only downside with this kit is it's motorised, but that won't stop me building a replica of my old car! Cool! I've always been a Celica fan ever since a teacher of mine took me for a spirited ride in 1972. I own a 1995 Celica GT convertible. I have bought all the Celica kits I have seen. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one!

Va_jones Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I have checked 3 stores for the Midget racer with no luck! they had a ton, i would have bought the corvette and couple others, but i had the girlfriend with me so she kept me inline .
1930fordpickup Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Mike you are lucky you guys have the Midget kits there. No Midgets here.
Tom Geiger Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 We got our new Sleep Number bed on Friday. We have slept in it two nights and it's pretty cool. First, we got a king size, much bigger than our old bed so it is great to have a lot more room. It's so wide that it looks square! The past two nights we've been playing with the settings, trying to find the most comfort. Salesman said it would take a week or two to totally figure it out. Now the fun part... the bed is connected into our wide area network! Nothing like having a bed on the Internet. I can check in from my computer or phone ap and see how we slept last night. Complete analysis. It even tells you how many times you got up in the night. My wife thinks someone is watching!
ranma Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I Got these 3 unbuilt kits at the FARM TOY SHOW here in Van Wert. 1. 1978 black knight El Camino( Monogram) 2. AMT 94 ZR-1 Corvette 3. Rick Mears #5 Penzoil Cart (Indy) race car Well worth the $2 admission!!!!!!
Kennyboy Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I got the Academy Hyundai Azera (WOO HOO) on Friday night for FREE in the raffle at my local model meeting, also got a Tamiya S2000 kit for $10.00, a Fujimi Lexus SC400 kit (roof was collapsed.....I already made it into a convertible) but only paid $5.00 for it, and a Tamiya Skyline GTR parts kit for free from a friend.

JTalmage Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I have checked 3 stores and cannot find the midget racer!!!!! I'm getting frustrated! I did go to another Ollies and use my 10% off coupon and got another superbird, another Ramcharger dodge, and a 66 GT350. Also won this on ebay. Been wanting a 49 ford for custom work/top chop.... Looks like its falling apart/missing parts... but its all good.
o-man Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I really hate you guys! All this talk about Ollie's model clearance made me go take a look at one local to me. This is what they had And this is what I came home with, And this is haul from eBay the past few weeks,

unclescott58 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Today I got AMT's Hindenberg kit. I've always wanted one. I'm very glad they decided to reissue it. Scott
Va_jones Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I really hate you guys! All this talk about Ollie's model clearance made me go take a look at one local to me. This is what they had I wish my store had that monster truck, I have yet to build one of those.
Kennyboy Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I wish we had an Ollie's around here.......I would have bought that Audi R8 kit for $7.99!!
ChrisBcritter Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks to member PARTSMARTY, I finally have the '60 Ford double kit - so now I have the engine for my uncle's '57 Fairlane. Now to figure out some 406 decals for the valve covers - and how to make it into a four-door neatly.
Ron Hamilton Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 After all this talk about Ollie's, I took a trip over there. Picked up three Lindberg Dodge Charger police cars, which was a great score, and a Revell '62 Chevrolet Hardtop for a convertible conversion. The price they were offering was great, but I had everything else on their "blowout" section, and besides, I don't have the space for any more kits. They will do fine, as the kits they had are good for filling holes in a collection, and for parts kits. If I had a kid or a friend who was a budding modeler, I would bring them there.
