Sorry to have to create a new topic like this guys, but I thought you'd all like to know that your local Hobby Lobby is having their yearly 1/2 off sale on model kits!!! That's right, 50% off!!

They carry Tamiya mainly. I picked up a couple of Walker Bulldogs for $6.59 @, plus a 6x6 truck for $16.87, a couple of Panthers for $9.90, (plus a night fighter foir the same price), a
M-60 for $12.35, ....well, you get the picture. The sale ends March 2, I believe.
Sooooo, run down and getcha a few. :-) :-) :-)

No Hobby Lobbies up here in the Great White North I used to love going there when I was stationed in Texas and Alabama. I couldn't convince you to grab another 6X6 could I?

Any chance they sell online??? I don't balme ya Tread, how could you pass up an opportunity like that...I could see me doing the same thing as you.

Tread--you could make a bundle buying kits for us.

Man! This stinks, at the Hobby Lobby by me the only two Tamiya kits they ever have are the Bulldogs and an M1 Abrams... Oh well, at least I got my German HANOMAG APC.

I cannot believe this man would do such irrepairable damage to our psyche. And to top it off, he does not even volunteer to buy us these models at bargain prices. He should revert back to private!
DJ

Gee fella's....you're making me feel all guilty and stuff. I guess I just spoke up too soon from the shock of finding Tamiya kits at those prices!!! :-)
But no worries. Rob, already ran back out and got ya a 6 x 6. And before DJ gets his way and busts me back down to private, if you guys really want anything just speak up now or forever hold your peace.
I also picked up....lets see, let me grab the receipt.....
M20 for 17.45
(2) Sherman M4A3's for 9.95 @
Mobelwagen for 19.45
88mm GunFlak 36/37 for 12.18
(3) US Infantry weapons sets (one w/ recoiless & one w/ flamethrower) for 4.48
(4) sandbag sets for 9.00
(2) Allied vehicle access. sets for 10.99

Plus what I got yesterday.

If I remember they also have the
Lee
Grant

Greif
Hanomag

M41
M48

NF Panther
Long Range Desert Chevy truck
Kubelwagen
Dragon military miniature sets

etc, etc, etc.

My mind is going...

Tread.

Looks like you got some great deals Tread, I just bought Tamiya's panther today and paid $19 for it. I thought that was a good price, but $9.99 that's great. The sad thing is I had to sneak it into the house before my wife got home...I'm a bad boy.

Ashtabula, Oh

Hey Ron, what do you think I had to do with my bag o goodies

... what IS the Hobby lobby ???
Seems like us poor Euro guys fish behind the net again...
Well, I hope you all enjoy it anyway !
Jan

:-) :-) :-) But no matter where we are on this globe of ours... seems we all have to sneak in the goodies behind the old ladies' backs !!!
Not to be proud of, really...

Tread if you're serious about that offer were do I send money to? PM me if you really are serious. I am. There's no where I could touch any of those for those prices!!!

I would love to get ahold of:
1 - M20
1- M4A3
1 - Allied vehicle access. set
:-)

Wow, sorry Jan...I don't think anyone's ever generated eight (8) screamin' red meemies before.....
Hooby Lobby is just another commercial retail outlet here in the land of the 'Great Satan'.
The 50% off thing is just to draw people into the store so they can buy OTHER stuff. Unfortunately for them it also draws in other people like me who can drop by and 'scarf' up a deal! That's all.

Tread.

BTW. As the old addage says " grasshopper, sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you".

Kenc'...you're on the list. Tomorrow I'm finishing up work early and hittin' all the Hobby Lobby's in my area (the models are goin' fast). So, I will do my best to fill your list. As far as the money part of it, no worries. I don't need to make a profit or anything here. If I can help out my fellow armorama.com mates, I'm more than happy to do it. The input & help you guys have been to me has been more than worth the effort.

Tread.

Ok, Tread. No hard feelings. Maybe I was a bit trigger-happy when I fired those meemies at you. I really hope you enjoy all that, honestly. And I hope the bulky new package of kits is not discovered by your wife !
Jan

Non taken Jan,my post was all said in 'jest', hence the little winking smiley face.
The only reason I brought it up is that all the time I've been posting here I've been dying to use that silly red face. Only had a chance to finally use it for the first time a week or so ago.... :-)

I guess I just jealous because you got to use 8 of them! lol.

Tread.

Tread, ...son of a gun...there's only one of those stores here in Florida...nearly 500 miles AWAY!!
You seem to be very lucky with 19 in Colorado!! :-) WOW are you lucky for so many out there.

Hmmm, now if I could just convince my wife that we need to move there. lol :-) But than again...too cold and no beaches. :-)

No need to burn any petrol Kenc', I'll try to fill your list.

Tread.

PM me your address and total $$ and I will post a check or money order tomorrow. Thank you much

NP Rob, anything else?

How much was the Lee? If it rings up under $10 I'll take one!

Thanx for the head's-up tread. I hit Hobby Lobby right after reading your message and picked-up a couple of good kits. They didn't have much of a selection, but I managed to get a Tamiya Wirblewind and a DML Stug III for $30!! Glad I didn't bid on the Wirblewind they have on e-bay! May have to hit the second store here in town tommorow. :-)

Thanx again.

Rob,you gota Lee too

KMM, do it. Hit the other stores. That's how I got the stuff I got. I hit 3 stores. Going to hit the others tomorrow.

Tread,
I try to imagine you on a tour of Colorado with a zillion kits in the back of a truck !
Seems like you pluck these hobbylobby guys like chickens ! Sales&marketing manager should be a member of this forum ! Haha !

:-)

Tread--Old Buddy and pal. Can you PM me, I will send you the bucks for an M4A3 Sherman.
Love you like a brother,
DJ :-)
