Yes, but I'd still like to see the scale model kits of Chinese launch vehicles. Mind you, the kids still need instructions written in Penrose.

I just bought a bunch of kits at HL for a special kit-bash I'm going to call, "My Baby Bertha's Got The Screamin' Mimi Blu's"

Eventually I'll get over to a BRB launch. Maybe I'll have it done by then (I just in the last five minutes changed the design to something akin to a very utilitarian looking Mars Snooper II).

Why would Walmart (or *any* business) have a document stating that they do *not* honor competitors' coupons? This would, logically and understandably, be the default policy. If *any* document was present, it would be that they *do* honor competitors' coupons. No business is obligated, legally or morally, to honor a competitor's pricing, nor "specials".
And what would Walmart have, rocketry-wise, that Hobby Lobby does *not* have? (You must have a poor Hobby Lobby, and a way-way-way-above average Walmart, in your area...lol)

Every time I have visited the 5 or 6 nearest Walmarts; I have seen the same. They will have two, or perhaps three, of their cases of motors on the shelves...and at most, three different Estes starter sets. I have *never* seen a "non-starter-set" kit at our Walmarts.
Now, our Hobby Lobby (at least the 4 in my near area), even if in "extremely shopped" condition, always has a fairly extensive assortment of Estes and Quest kits...from the under-three-dollar price...to the thirty-and-over price.

Like I said....you have Walmarts that are way-way-way-above average..lol.
Michael's....so sad....they *used* to be such a good chain, for hobby supplies.

Like I suggested to someone else...become "postal buddies" with someone near you, who has access to a Hobby Lobby. For $50.00...you can build up quite a "spare parts collection" buying nothing but the $7.00-and-under Estes and Quest kits at 50% off. Can you ever have "too many" Baby Berthas? (Or Quest's "Full Moon" --- one of my favorites...)
:o)

Much like Jethro rebuilding the transmission on the old truck, we seem to have an ever growing left over parts collection. Kitbashing tends to produce lots of extra parts.
Weee doggies!

Full Moon? I've never seen that one. I have *one* Baby Bertha, under construction now... :-)

It's a very cool "short 'n stubby" like the Baby Bertha, but with three neat splayed fins, as opposed to Bertha's four V-2-ish fins:

I've never seen a Walmart with anything but starter kits and motors. Maybe a few RTF rockets if you're lucky.
Maybe Walmarts in other areas are different from the ones I have seen.

Launchables.

for those of you who don't have a local hobby lobby.
we(see other thread) are having a high power launch, and one of our visitors does have a local hobby lobby nearby, and offered to pick up some stuff for me.

I've yet to see this any where locally.

Already cleaned out one HL of their supply of these.
  Quoted Text Here  
My wife got one for me and one for Chris Taylor last year. No HL in his area either. I don't know if I'll have the chance to get there today, but if any one that isn't going to NARAM wants me to try to pick something up for them, just ask, and I'll see what we can do.
