Hobby Lobby at it again!

another week of 50% off all plastic models. :biggrin:
sales runs today until Saturday!

Guess where I'm going!!!:biggrin:

Thanks for the heads-up.

Do you have a link, I can't seem to find the site.:frown:

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!
Chris

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!

Hobby Lobby Store Locator (http://www.hobbylobby.com/site3/store/locations.cfm)

i took full advantage of this today:biggrin:

check your sunday paper guys~!

the ad should be there, otherwise print this:

http://www.hobbylobby.com/site3/weekly/specials/specials.cfm

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.

Picked up another Revell Integra ITR and Civic Coupe from Hobby Lobby today, $12 bucks total!! Woo Hoo!! :bigthumb:

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..:iceslolan

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.

DAMN IT! Just when I go on a trip for a week :angryfire hobby lobby has to have a sale :(

Thanks for the Heads-up!
Now I just have to find a store that has some Mini's.

VW New Beetle 99 Mustang cobra hardtop and big johm mazmanian 41 willys gasser

I mostly buy imports but I figured that Ill go back to the dark side with my father.

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!

I was at that one last week (buying 1/2 price paint brushes), it never has the selection of a couple other stores in the area, but it did have more than usual-last sale the pickings were slim at that store. The store out in Lawrenceville off of 316 (on 120 near the Gwinnett Med. Ctr.) has a much better selection. The store in Acworth (on Bells Ferry Rd.) has the biggest/best selection of all, but it's way far away from me on the other side of town. It does pay to look around at various stores, at least in Atlanta where there are about 8 or 10 Hobby Lobby's in the vicinity.

i just a

350 z metal body finish
revell hatch and coupe
revell germany rally focus



all for 38$ us dollers ofcourse

kewl...i just went on my lunch break and got the revell civic si, and the new willy's jeep c-7. I was gonna get the revell civic hatchback but i decided to wait till after work. :tongue:

thanks for the heads up alakai

Which store did you go to? cause the one i went to did also.

I went to the one on Hwy 249 & Michel in Tomball. And then the one at Jones Rd & FM1960. That one had the Focus WRC 2001. What I'm really looking for is the Porsche GT3 and Ferrari 360. I've seen them at Hobbylobby before, but would never pay the original $35. I'm going to try the one at Hwy 6 & Clay Rd. tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Sucks for me as I'm in Jersey :loser:
I guess I have to be happy with the 25% off AC Moore offers on occassion.

Bigg "E"

Hobby Lobby location:

gotta get there tomorrow. need more models. have 2 on hold right now and need more despratly!!!!


OT: did anyone notice the locations of the Hobby Lobby stores are mostly in tornado and hurricane (if there is such a thing) alley? kinda makes ya think doesnt it? (well, made me think anyways)

Thanks to this board I headed over there with my three sons today!
What great deals!
I still need to pick up the Porsche GT yet.
My Oldest son (11) picked out the RM Corvette Z06, My middle son (9) picked out the AMT 55 Nomad, my youngest (8) picked out the S'cool Bus and I think I got the best deal, the Revell of Germany Shelby Series 1, for $5.50. The tag on the box said $10.99 the other boxes said $27.50!
I was a happy guy.
I'll be heading back there by weeks end to get that Porsche and maybe the Focus Rally car.

same thing happened here man

Crossed fingers do work. Hit the Hobby Lobby near home, found the Porsche GT3 and Ferrari 360 I was looking for. Unfortunately, someone had ransacked the 360 kit (box open, stuff missing). But I did get the GT3 for $14. For those in Houston, they still have one left, if anyone is interested.

i went today and picked me up some, 3 ITR, 2 civic Si's, and 1 civic hatchback :biggrin: :biggrin: :cool:

:frown: Last time i checked the only Tamiya models they had were some motorcycles and military models, all the cars were Revell or ugly riced up crap from Testors

I picked up 7 kits this morning and a couple diorama goodies for a total of $49.07!

Revell '31 Model A Sedan (I seem to have quite a Model A collection going right now????)
Revell '71 GTX
Revell '70 Chevelle (a great kit to slam together! Paint it and forget it, lol)
Revell '63 Vette Roadster (hadda have it)
AMT '78 LRT
Polar Lights Ecto 1 (#3 - got a hearse and a flower car, this one will likely end up as a limo)
Revell '56 Chevy Del Ray (another?????)


Looked long and hard at the Tamiya Grand Cherokee, but couldn't figure out what I'd do with it. The other Tamiya kits were the Porsche 911 GT? (don't remember), the Lotus Europa, Focus WRC and a bunch of bikes.

My local Hobby Lobby doesn't have a great selection, but they're better than one of the local hobby shops! Lots of AMT kits, but I've been picking up lots of AMT stuff from Wally for $4.94! They didn't have the Supra or Eclipse anyway, and no Civic coupes either :mad: .

I was hoping for their 1/3 off sale, doing the happy dance over 1/2 off!

Tim D.

how long is the sale going on? i might have to stop by. i was thinking about doing the 911 GT3 kit, and possibly a tamiya bike, and if i can get them for 50% off, i might just have to do that.

This is the perfect chance for me to get a couple bikes and try my had at building something different. I wont be able to make it there till friday though :frown:

I also noticed that they have acrylic tube paints half price. I know alot of people who do Gundam models and thin down tube paints to spray through an airbrush. Has anyone here thought about thinning them down and using them on their models?

I got my last GT3 there for under $14. Sale runs through Saturday. What part of Atl. do you live? We've got a good model car club, ACME-that meets 3rd Sun. of every month in Smyrna at the community center, and we have a big show every November at the same place. It's near Auto Motif if you've heard of that. We're also involved in some "art in the park" thing at Centennial Park on the 23rd. We'll have a tent and will be bringing some of our models and doing a few simple demos.

Just got back. decided to go there after i get my braces off. hehe, i talk funny now. but here's what i got. remember I dont have much on the $$$ side.

Honda Civic Si Coupe 2n1

1969 Baldwin Motion Camaro

i wish there was one near rochester NY but no luck!! damnit!

Wow. Like every state but mine :frown:

Made the trek to Hobby Lobby to see the 1/2 price models.

Came home with a 1/2 price picture frame instead. :biggrin:

Life is good, especially when you've got a basement full of models, and nothing at the store was tempting enough to bring home. :screwy: :smokin: :grinyes:

i live up in roswell, but i am used to driving alot, so smyrna isnt really that bad of a drive. i'll see if i can stop by sometime :)

Yeah, I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and got a Tamiya Yamaha YZF-R1 for like $12. I also live in Atlanta (Gwinnett) and their selection is pretty slim, save for a Porsche GT3.

I moved into my new apartment on friday and hit the sale saturday morning. I picked up a Yam R-1, Kawasaki Ninja 12R, and a really cheap pin vice. With no cable and no internet, I spend most of saturday drilling out the brakes. I thought I was going to go crazy :screwy:
