I went into the local Hobby Lobby today and they are having their “in-store” 1/2 off plastic model sale as opposed the internet coupon sale this week. Week is almost over and i had no idea! I gotta go back an get me a Challenger 2! i also want a Lee/Grant but it can wait! Anyway whenever the store here in my state has a sale so does the one across the line so I’m betting you guys have a sale in your local HLs too if you have one! I’m just getting the word out. As far as i’m concerned it’s Christmas through Saturday ! [Sat. is the last day of the sale… So many kits, so little time…[V]]
I picked up a Marder III and a King TIger(Ardennes Forest) yesterday for a steal deal. My store had alot of Panther G’s but not many other german tanks. OH Hummm.
I allready hit mine first thing Mon. morning. Did find out while I was there that they are phasing out the armor section. Was getting kind of worried when the choices of what I had not built were getting slim. Guess I’ll be going somewhere else to buy my other goodies now too since they no longer want to sell what I want to build.
[:0] “phasing out the armor section!” Heck HL is the only place i can realisticly afford to shop. There are only two other stores in town really. One of them being Hobby Town USA and they are overpriced on most but they are getting a little better…[V]
The last HL 50% off sell I spent $240 bucks, this time I just wanted a B29 but when I got back to the store on Tues guess what! All gone [:(] Oh well there is always next time, I do have a few waiting to be built. And the 3 I am working on now. Spitfire 1:24 Trumpter. Late Panther type G and a Do-335A-12 so have plenty to do [:D]
Well we here in omaha have 4 hobby lobbies which my wife has forbid me to visit any of them last time I went I spent almost 100$ on the dragon wagon but hey if its 50% off then whats alittle chewing gonna hurt,I saved 50% right?[;)]
I wish there was a hobby lobby near were I live.

I wish there was ANYTHING near here. Couple of local RC shops, very limited plastic, and even more limited Testor’s paints. No Tamiya, Gunze, etc. Great Models being 45 miles away was worth the trip, but now that they’ve closed their retail store, it’s no big help. I can call in an order and go to their “will call” desk, but they only do that from 9 to 5, M-F and I work 8-5 M-F, so no help again. (And their mail order from 45 miles away takes longer then Mission Models does from California, and costs more!)
Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa!!
I just went this evening after work. 
I picked up tyhe last King Tiger they had. What a beaut she is too ! Cant beat it for $23 bucks. They did have the B-29 , almost got it too, but my wallet said no 
Maybe shell still be there next round
Well just got back and picked up the sherman 105 and trumpetiers M1A1 and the marauder3 all for the price of the sherman how nice, also talked with the department manager ,says its been crazy…DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHH!!!
Hmmm. I am goin to my favorite LHS tomorrow, but there is a Hobby Lobby nearby-maybe I’ll stop in for a looksey
Dude at 50% off, you WON’T be disappointed. I only wish they had more accessories like the Tamiya Modern Accessories kit. I’m going to pick me up a HC/Trump Challenger. I also want the Polar Lights batmobile. they were out of the PL Star Ship Enterprise. My wallet is tight this week. This was my bill paying week.[V] I saw the new Trump Challenger ar Hobby Town for $25 with all the extra goodies! I gotta get that one too. it was odd that Hobby Town USA didn’t have the Tamiya accessory set! it wasn’t even in their Tamiya catalog [2003]! Neither were either of the tamiya hummers, the new abrams w/t stowage, or the other “Gulf War” tamiya kits. The store guy knew nothing about it of course even though tey had the tow hummer and the abrams on the shelf!
U guys are so lucky, I jsut spent the last of my money on the KV1b i needed to finish my collection for my upcoming projects. anyways I will finish a diorama i have had in the works since last october once i figure a few things out… wo sry off topic but u still are lucky I dont have anything but a family owned hobbylobby on 35th and glendale, I heard something about a nation chain HL but they said the one i go to is a seperate store. however it is always xmas when i go cause the owner and i r ok friends. SO ha ha. lol jk still they occasionaly have sales, wonder what kinda deals he would cut me when they have sales… hmmmm… gotta go this xmas! Sry if it is alittle off topic but i am alittle tired i jsut realized, not enough energy to go back and edit the post tonight. maybe tomorrow. later all
No Hobby Lobby here[V]Just Hobby Town, so I mostly use the internet.
Hey I didn’t know, there is a Hobby Lobby in Michigan[:D] The question is is it worth the almost 2 hour drive[V]
If you were to stack up with kits it would be worth the drive. Not sure if all you get is a couple of kits though.
The closest HL to me is about 300 miles from here! Although there is one in the city where my sister lives…Hmmm, wonder if she’s feeling like doing me any favors!! lol
IT"S TRUE ITS TRUE!!!
I WENT TODAY! I got a great deal! SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT MORE!!!
Well, I got 3 paints, and 2 Tamiya kits-the quad gun with 25pdr., and a M20
