HobbyLobby is an all around hobby and craft store(with physical buildings) that often has as good of a selection of models as you will see outside your local hobby shop.
Not all HL's have models but most do. Unfortunately there are none in New England or on the West Coast. I don't know if they do online sales or not but you can check out their website for details.

If I remember right they do online but not many models... it actually brings you to a seperate website to do online and it doesnt have the full selection nor does it honor their internet coupons...

I ended up making two trips and only picked up a few things I needed for GB's upcoming and stuff.

1/48 Tamiya P-47 bubbletop
1/48 Me-262 Tamiya (just for fun)
1/35 Tamiya Walker Bulldog (havent done a tank in 20 yrs, needed a simple kit to start with)
1/48 Tamiya P-51 Mustang
1/48 Acc Mini's SBD-2
1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat
1/72 Revell DE S-100 Schnellboot

this was a small haul as I am getting a bigger and bigger stash and am running out of storage for them... (in part thanks to the last Hobby Lobby sale! haha)

I think I got one or two misc kits for fun but forgot what they were...


---edit---

I did get the evil eye from the sales lady when I walked in with about 12 coupons printed and started handing them out to others in the modeling section that didn't know about the sale... the way I figure I know of at least 3 of the people I gave them to who weren't going to buy that Tamiya or Acc Mini kit they got because of the sticker price... when I gave them the coupon they walked out smiling!!!

I very nearly did give a kid my extra copy that I had printed off, but I didn't want his mom to think I was some sort of creep-o.

Okay James, is the coupon shown for 30% off the fountain the internet coupon
or is there another that is available to be printed. I've looked at the website and can only find that one coupon. Can you help me out? Cowdrey

Can anyone show me the light? Is the coupon shown on JamesDFarrow's site the coupon for a fountain or is there a different coupon for the models? I've checked the website and can only find the fountain coupon. Frustrated in Midland, HELP!!!!!!

Zzz [zzz]Oh, well. You snooze....you lose! Appreciate the response, didn't know about the coupons so maybe I can get one later and pillage the two stores we have here and in Odessa. By the way, I built the Monogram B-ONE a couple of years back, when it was only 40.00$ and it was pretty good except for a warped wing that needed lots of hot water to straighten. Looks good hangin' in my 10- year olds room too, even though it feels like its blocking out all the light. Thanks, Cowdrey
