Does Hobby Lobby stock the Polar Lights NX-01?

Noticed they are having their 50% off Plastic Model Kits sale again:

A Polar Lights NX-01 for half price would be a great bargain.

No.

Typically HL only stocks older Tamyia kits on the military side and Revell, AMT, etc. on the automotive side. There are a few other brands, but I don't recall seeing any SciFi models at all. Does anyone else know if there are SciFi kit they stock?

Although I cannot state conclusively that the NX-01 is not stocked at Hobby Lobby, I can say that I have been in 8 HL stores across the southeast and I've never seen a "first run" model kit of any kind and rarely see any kits that retail for more than about $30 dollars. If someone finds one, congratuations. I'm not keeping my hopes up at all (and I'll be at our local store when it opens tomorrow morning).

I've purchase all but 1 of my scifi PL kits from Hobby Lobby. And I've seen the NX-01 at two of the three stores I frequent ( I just haven't been to the 3rd store in a while. I'll Find out tomorrow if the NX is on sale.

I haven't seen any PL figure kits in Hobby Lobby, but then I wasn't looking for them at the time they were released.

James,

I stand corrected! I decided to give HL one more chance since I was on that side of town anyway. They had restocked their shelves since yesterday and sure enough, there was one 1/350 NX-01. I picked it up as well as two 1/32 A/C kits and a 1/48 A/C kit all for less than I paid for my first NX-01.

Good Luck,

Robert Foster
