dantewallace Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 On my way there now. Everyone with a cell should take a picture of their stores inventory. It'd be kind of cool to see the difference in the selection between stores. Another Idea is that we could possibly help each other out if another member has a kit at their store we dont and may want.

Tom Geiger Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 From the photo it looks like they fill the shelves only 1 kit deep. That's how it was at the store I went to.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1962Savoy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hobby Lobby doesn't exist here in Canada , BUT if you need a GOOD hobby shop! I go to McCormick's Hobby in London, Ontario, they have the best selection of new and old out of production kits around.Yea they don't have the 40% off coupon but they have a loyalty card that gets you 25% off once you start to purchase from them. I have never seen so many Johan & AMT kits in one place other than ebag and the prices are VERY reasonable. If you ever get a chance to go you got to see it! Google it there at 241 Oxford east, London ,Ontario nice friendly place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afxmustang Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I was surprised to find a couple of packs of the AMT Sportsman drag slicks at Hobby Lobby selling for $7.99. I wonder if they will have more parts packs in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I bought some drag slicks also but they have them on a shelf high at mine and they fall over, hard to see.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 A while back, I picked up a couple sets of the whitewall tires there...same $7.99 price, but were a lot less with the weekly 40% off coupon. Hopefully they will get the white letter Goodyear tire packs at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I bought some drag slicks also but they have them on a shelf high at mine and they fall over, hard to see.. Same thing at both the Monroe Mi and the Toledo store. Sometimes you do not even see them. I stand them up everytime I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've been lookin' but I haven't seen them at my local Hobby Lobby. I'll be there today though as I need a can of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've been buying them when I see them. So far they have had the large drag slicks, sportsman slicks, the drag slicks with red, white walls. I've also seen the Firestone tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatRod Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'll have to keep watching mine, as Hobbytown is way over priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afxmustang Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I got them at the Monroe, MI store and yes they were up high and had fallen over. In the future I'll know where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I was at HL today for our monthly FAST meeting. Bought a couple of small items before the meeting and then again after the meeting. One the way home I stopped at the LHS and bought some paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Went to the Spokane Valley store yesterday…model aisle is getting restocked so a bunch were moved to "clearance", which is 40% off, or the same as coupon shopping... I buy Tamiya primer at Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator-Fox Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Went last night in a snow storm to get some paint haha. They only have a few clearance kits that I don't even want at my store. But I noticed the newest kits out are priced at $27 or so. Good thing they have a 40% coupon code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our store they won't put the new kits out until the clearance kits are all sold. I bought a kit that I didn't even want just because of it's price,lol. So frustrating.

ZTony8 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I bought two or three tire sets of the wide and narrow slicks at the Hobby Lobby in Sterling Heights,Mi. with the 40% off coupons.Can hardly beat $4.80 plus tax for $12 sets of tires.Lately,though,they haven't had any more sets.I've looked all around the model area for them,thinking that they were partly hidden like the previous sets.Someone on the staff must have wised up.

Eshaver Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 For me , Hobby lobby is a good distance from me . being on a fixed income , balancing in a 40% coupon and the current cost of fuel still won't justify a trip . If Iwere closer, I probably would shop at a H L................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've never seen them at my local HL but I'll look closely next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtModeler Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I never have visited one.. we don't have them around here. we only have one hobby store here in Medford, Oregon and half of it is bicycles, 1/4 of it is R/C, 1/8th of it is model planes, and 1/16th of it is model trains.. that doesn't leave much for Car kits! I just order everything off the internet, i hate driving around, and the LHS usually doesn't have what i want anyway. I just go there for a random jar of Model Master Paint every once in a while.

There's one hobby shop in NJ where each time I go there, the model car section has shrunk again. So I asked the owner why and he said, "Fewer and fewer people are building models anymore!" Guess he hasn't seen the relationship between his shelf shrinking and sales? Yea, nobody builds models anymore, and he's doing his part to make it true!
