BEST DEAL EVER

That's amazing. When I don't feel like going to the LHS, I go to Hobby Lobby...They have awesome prices, and when you use one of the discount coupons + when theres a sale going on, you get cheap models. I'm looking at a Hasegawa Ju-88 on the clearance rack for $25, regularly $44... Not to mention they carry some brands of paint for far cheaper than the LHS, airbrush parts, glues, and everything else you could want...

Wow your LHS must be crazy....

The same brushes you get at hobby lobby for $4(3pack) you cna get at walmart for $1.

 Models are usually $1 or more then walmart/LHS 

PS. 90% of everything at HobbyLobby has 200 ro 600% mark up...I've seen the invoices...thtas why its always marked down. we make profit up to 90% off 

My Wal-Mart carries almost nothing in the way of models...The LHS prices are crazy unless you use the $5 off coupon and get a cheap kit to begin with.

So Hobby Lobby still makes a profit even with the low prices, sales, and clearance?

Sad, isn't it? All these people with no Hobby Lobby nearby

I wonder if they have a support group for people like us....

3 people ........... We need to email Hobby Lobby about this.

-Roger, I'm sure they've got some sort of support group for you guys..."The Hobby Lobbyless"

Yea!! Way to think positive

You guy's think YOU have problems......find a Hobby Lobby here !

I think that's a great idea...because everybody needs a Hobby Lobby

I live just west of DC...no Hobby Lobby here either!!!! the closest one is NC (almost).

with all the people in this area, you'd think there would be one here.

politicians don't  buy things.  politicians are bought instead         lol    lol

LOL ...Tell your politicians you want a Hobby Lobby, so you can buy stuff, and improve the economy one super-expensive Tamigawa kit at a time!

I read a news article the other day which says a Hobby Lobby was coming to Mesa AZ. I will certainly check it out when it opens, I have heard so much about these shops. There is a near by Hobbytown USA in Gilbert I go to that has some pretty good deals. I bought the Dragon rail gun for $74 after the $5 off coupon I had. Also picked up the Trumpeter Hind for $79 which to date has been the lowest price I ever seen for this kit. The best ever deal I ever got was the Tamiya 1/350 USS Enterprise that I bought for $29.99 years ago.

Threads like this make me feel better about living in KCK!

5 minutes from the house is a Hobby Lobby, Hobbytown USA, micheals and a local shop called Hobby Haven thats very well stocked.

10 minutes away is both Bass Pro and Cabelas.

Now what I need is for work to take us off the 10 and 12 + hours days! I want to build!

While we're talking about great deals (we WERE talking about that, right?) let me tell you about one I MADE.

I had decided to get back into modeling and so was looking at my stash, collected over years. I had a buttload of kits that were half-started, completed, boxed, bagged... you name it, they were there. Some junk, some desirable, but what to do with them all? What else - - give them away and start over!

In an uncharacteristic moment of string-free generosity, I loaded TWO boxes of this stuff up in the truck and took them to my friend Jeff. He is a modeling newbie and was like a kid in a candy shop. I think he got a minor case of dehydration salivating over them. And, I'm pleased to report that, in the time honored tradition of modelers everywhere, he has already started 3 of them.

A great deal for me (in a wierd, non-avaricious way)... a super great deal for him.

lol!I can only hope that his new stash also included a bottle of water and perhaps a few shop towels to catch all the drool puddling up on ya! (I'm guessing you probably had to change your socks after that too?)
