the hobby lobby here in atlanta isnt a hobby store at all. its a craft store. man i was pissed when i found that out for the first time

Hopefully it isn't a regional thing. I highly anticipate these sales!
I've heard of some stores having these sales and when I get to mine, no sale!!
Thanks!

Hobby Lobby is a nearly nationwide chain of craft stores in the US. They don't have a huge selection, but I've found a decent selection of US kits and a few Tamiyas here and there. If you're going to buy domestic kits, you might as well get 'em cheap!

check your sunday paper guys~!

the ad should be there, otherwise print this:

good until the 16th of August!

hobby lobby is indeed a craft store, but hidden in the back corner is the model section. from my experience, all the stores have the same stock, but hey - a small selection of TAMIYA kits is better than none!

good luck!

Cool. Just checked the Sunday Houston Chronicle. It's in there. I'm heading there during lunch (one near work), and on the way home (one near the house). Hopefully there will be some good kits in stock. Thanks for the heads up guys.

I live in Atlanta, and the Hobby Lobby just off of Pleasent Hill carrys models. The last 50% off sale I bought 4 kits for under $50.

Shelby Series One - Revell/Germany
Corvette C5-R - Revell
1959 Corvette 3 n 1 - Revell
Yamaha Roadstar 1600 - Tamiya

They had a decenct amount of other kits available too.
I'm on my way to see what they've got now..

malsheem · 08-12-2003, 02:20 PM

Woohoo! 4 kits $28.15. Revell ITR, Viper, Z8, Porsche GT1. Unfortunately, the only Tamiya models they had were the Lotus Europa and the Jeep Cherokee. Hopefully there will be some others at another store.

just a heads up about what kits you might find there:

-most if not all revell kits.
-academy(?)
-AMT/ERTL
-select tamiya - lotus europa, jeep cherokee, porsche 911 GT3, Ford Focus RS WRC01, Toyota Lemans Car, assorted military, airplanes

don't bother searching around too many different stores - their stock is amazingly consistent!

hope this helps!
