Well, for me anymore, HobbyLobby is a non starter. A few years ago I was able to get some decent kits on their clearance rack or with the 40% coupon. But the past few years there has been nothing, at least stuff I don't already have a couple of. I don't really need anymore old Monogram SBDs Too bad, as they have a store close to me. I have a HobbyTown nearby as well. A somewhat decent collection of kits, but a bit on the overpriced scale. (Our IPMS chapter meets in their backroom so we all buy something there on occasion. Nice staff.) However my main point of contact is good Ole Colpar. I really don't need anything else. One of the best Hobby shops around. On top of that, this weekend is a sidewalk sale and they had a lot of kits going for half off. Way cool. They get plenty of the newest kits in all the time. Very dangerous place to go too, for the wallet that is. So HobbyLobby not stocking kits anymore, or very few, just removes one temptation for me.
So it goes.
