SWEET!! i owe 80% of my small stash to Hobby Lobby 1/2 off sales!! thanks for the heads up, but i’m still tryin’ to find somethin’ a cheap alternative for an air source in my apartment. i’m new to apartment living and have 3 industrial type compressors that would spell certain eviction if i cranked them up. so, i’ll have to pass up on the 1/2 off sale this time and save the cash for a quiet air source. later.
Printing off a few more coupons as we speak, I will go in today and pick up the kits that are on my mental list, but then before the end of the week I will be thinking “I’d better pick that one kit up while it’s on sale”, then by the time Friday rolls around I will want to stop back in just to be sure I didn’t miss anything.
The stash continues to grow…
Dont let Salty fool ya, you better go now because he is try to keep everbody away so he can have a big haul. Nice try Bama

Well, it’s almost time to go, another 40 minutes and it’s into the “Danger Cart” to pick up around $50 of models. Yes, the Mrs put a limit on the purchase, but she says she knows they’ll restock half way through the week , so I guess that’s an OK to spend another $50 on a second round of model buying… oh boy, oh boy!
I’m pretty tired from working all night, so I may just give her a list and let her surprise me. Then again, after taking a shower I may feel good enough to terrorize the store with her… [;)]
I’ll post a pic of my ill-gotten goods once she or I or the both of us are back… [;)]
I wish there was a Hobby Lobby near here…[:(]
Round 1 wasn’t very good for me, I already have almost all the armor kits from previous sales, I did pick up the M4A3, I didn’t have that one in my inventory yet, also grabbed the Nismo GT-R, been looking at that kit about 100 times, that was it for me today, I have to stop back in tomorrow for some paint so I will take another look, I need to check my stash, not sure what all I already have.
I got a gift card for Christmas so I was waiting for this moment.
Stupid me, I blew my gift card from Christmas last week. (it was a clearance item though) I’m trying to restrain myself from buying the Revell AG Lancer. We’ll see…
Round 2 scores me a Tamiya Enzo Ferrari, Tamiya M1A2 Abrams and Revells Porsche GT-1 EVO kit, next scheduled trip will be Friday to “mop up”. Not really much left that I’m interested in, but we’ll see.
I bought some Tamiya accessories today. I was hoping to get another Tamiya Panther G but they were sold out. I’m going to hit some more Hobby Lobby stores in the area later this week.
My recent score from Hobby Lobby’s 50% off sale of all scale models:
http://public.fotki.com/ClumsyModeler/misc_photos/img_0047.html
How much did I pay for all of this you ask? $89 total with tax. Here’s the breakdown (discounted prices, USD): Tamiya Enzo Ferrari #24270 $25.50, Tamiya Xanavi Nismo GT-R R34 #24268 $16.50, Tamiya RGV-r '01 #14089 $14, Tamiya 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI #61064 $12, Revell 1/48 P-61 Black Widow $7.74, Revell Camaro Yenko/SC $7.
Nice haul, Clumsy…
I lucked out, they restocked throughout today and I picked up the last Enzo, RGV-r and GT-R R34. Now I gotta eat Ramen noodles to get my bank account back in check… LOL
I just got two this last Monday… the AM SBD-2 (yes ANOTHER one!) and the Tamiya P-47… going back tonight probably…
and while on the subject, whoever got there before me and picked up the B1B up there on the top shelf… thanks a lot! NOT!! [;)]
Tom I picked up the very same thing, That AM kit looks great cant wait to build that one

this sux man…i ain’t got no money for models right now!![V] but…as Arnold would say…“I’LL BE BOCK”!! later.
Sorry salty,
Stick with your plan for that silent air compressor. Why don’t you sell a few of the other compressors you’ve mentioned to finance the new silent model? That way you can use your cash to pick up a few good deals? [;)]
Only one day left before I make my final trip to HL and see what else I can find before the sale ends, if they don’t get some new kits before the next 50% off sale, there will be nothing left for me to buy…wait, maybe that’s a good thing, not because of the money spent, but more because of the lack of places to stash the kits, wife is supportive of my hobby but may have issues if she opens the oven and finds it stuffed full of model kits, “but honey, they were on sale” [:D]
So glad I don’t have that problem. The Mrs forced me to buy the Enzo Ferrari (I must admit that 1/2 off $51 is a good deal) and the Nissan Skyline [8D] I felt guilty for going over my budget, but I got over that when I bought her a few new games and a new soundcard for the PC… [^]
