Hobby shops

I've watched several youtube videos from different builders and they all mention "Ollies" and the great deals that they get there.  I wish that they were here in Wisconsin.  A long time ago we had a local store called "Big Lots" and once in awhile they would get a shipment of model kits in and sell them at reasonable prices.

Ollie's is a brick & mortar retailer of closeout merchandise and overstock inventory.  What is in stock varies weekly.

Ollie's started here in PA, near Harrisburg.  It's got stores up and down the East Coast, and is gradually expanding into the Midwest.

As far as the kits go, Ollie's appears to have a deal with Round2 to sell their kits.  As Bob notes, what is in stock varies.  But if you have one in your area, it's worth it to stop in occasionally and see what's in.

As mentioned stock varies week to week but it also varies from location to location.

My local ollies normally stocks plenty of ships,big rigs, subs, and more recently more and more cars. Normally they have about 5 different kits in stock.

Currently my local one has a ton of 1997 mustang cobra's, 2010's camaro,some old school chevy from the 50's,older vette and another I cant think of right now. Mostly all AMT kits for the cars. Lots of times they also have a bunch of 40's and 50's police cars. Best thing about the car kits, $9.99.

The naval and big rigs I think are lindberg and academy kits, but not %100 as they arent my style.
