Austin T Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The model clearance was moved from the back corner of the store to ten feet from the main entrance. Needless to say no one really likes Avanti's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantewallace Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 I went there again yesterday to check out the clearance kits. The word is out about them. All that was left was six Avanti's and Lamborghini kits. Hahaah, same here. No one wants the Avanti's. Are the lambos at your store the diablo's too?

dantewallace Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 The existence of Hobby Lobby and the 40 off coupon has either been a wonderful thing or awful thing for me. I have one about 5 minutes away and my girlfriend loves to go for scrapbooking goodies. And there I am on the hobby aisle realizing I can get this or that get for next to nothing. So I end up getting like a kit a week it seems. It's absurd. You should see me on that model aisle looking up kit reviews in preparation for a sound purchasing decision. Hey, At least they don't know you by first name in your store.lol It's so embarrassing at check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hahaah, same here. No one wants the Avanti's. Are the lambos at your store the diablo's too? Yep, same Diablo kit. I like the Avanti kit, just not at the price they are asking, 16.79 each. Maybe around ten dollars each and I would get several more.

dantewallace Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 So I was just in hobby lobby and realized something, why are there Tamiya military kits, but no others?? Cars boats etc. Is it just my location thats like this? If I could get Those for 40% off I'd probably pass out from buying so many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmerc2003 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Just an FYI, i was at the two Hobby Lobby stores by me (aurora il) and both have some nice kits stocked, the 1/16 petty car, the new round of funny cars including the bounty hunter, hot rod, ect, the fireball Roberts 57 Ford, the new repop Vetts, and the new ford c-600 pepsi truck. I also saw places for the new dirty donny super bee as well as the repop gt500. very very excited to see this coming to hobby lobby as it is only affordable with the 40% off coupon.

tbill Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I originally went in the first time looking for metal signs for my garage, then noticed the 'magic' isle of plastic fantastic I think I have been there once a week since, lol.

James2 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I visit the LHS quite often, at least once a week. Not only is it a great store, but the owners are good people and we have become friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I also work there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisTyro Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 At my local HL they had some Createx Wicked Colors on clearance along with some Model Master bombs. The MM paint was marked down to $1.34 before tax from $6.19.. Prowler Purple and Ford Phoenician Yellow was all that was there. Does anyone check out the clearance sections? There's 2 different areas at the one near me. I'm curious to see if other stores might have the same things that way we can give one another a heads up on a good deal.

hotrod4ever Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I just got back from vacationing in the USA last week. (visiting relatives) I love Hobby Lobby! Picked up 2 rat roasters, Tommy Grove F/C, and a Candies & Huges F/C. Got some ground cover, bushes, flowers, and ballast for dioramas on clearance, some figures (tube people) that look to be 1/25 scale, and K&S tubing. Also on clearance I picked up a half a dozen packs of JTT plastic sheets...double diamond plate and bricks. And I didn't have time to "window shop". lol The kits are pretty much 1/2 the price of the ones north of the border! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 So I was just in hobby lobby and realized something, why are there Tamiya military kits, but no others?? Cars boats etc. Is it just my location thats like this? If I could get Those for 40% off I'd probably pass out from buying so many. My local HL used to stock a few Tamiya and Aoshima kits, but they always seemed to end up on the clearance rack marked way down, and I haven't seen any Japanese kits there in two or three years.

mikemodeler Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I took a few minutes tonight to stop by Hobby Lobby to see what was new and found some models on clearance. The Revell 2010 Camaro, 69 Camaro Convertible, 2010 Mustang and the 67 Chevelle Pro Street were all marked down. I also spotted the AMT Showroom Replicas 2011 Camaro Convertible, 2012 Camaro with the USA graphics, 2011 (?) Corvette Convertible were also marked down. I did see a Diamond Reo truck kit marked down too. In the supplies section it appears there was some reductions as well, saw the Tamiya tool kit on clearance for $18. All of the markdowns were 40% off , hopefully whatever they are making room for is on my list for 2014! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad4321 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I go about once a week because the girlfriend loves it. Same ol' models in the same ol' places every single time. I'm not really in a car building phase right now so it isn't exciting. The military and airplane selection stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The last time I visited Hobby Lobby everything on clearance was gone model wise. I am going tomorrow and hope some newer stuff may be there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tall good looking honey (showgurl type) in charge at the Henderson Hobby Lobby is open to suggestions. In fact she's making an attempt to order some different MM Acryl colors as well as various Tamiya and Revell kits, read 90 Mustang LX.
