Hello again.

After hearing so much about this store and it's cheap prices i wanted to take a look at their stock. As i live across the pond and cant afford a £1000 plane ticket just to visit a shop, i wanted to visit their website (if they have one). But after running searches through google etc, i can't find diddly squit!

Do they have a web site or not. If so what is it.


thank you.

Unfortunately Ollie I don't think their website shows anything concerning what they stock as far as models. The thing about Hobby Lobby is they are basically a store that caters to all kinds of hobbies. Sewing, scrapbooking, flower arranging, stained glass, home decorating, etc, etc. Models are just a side line, and they don't carry a huge selection. It does seem to be getting better, but still nowhere near what many local hobby shops carry. They have a far larger selection of model cars than they do tanks, planes or ships, and far more Tamiya than DML or Academy.

Your best bet might be to check with people here who have one nearby and see if they could ship you items from the store.
