A Hobby Lobby openened in Ocala FL yesterday. As part of their Grand Opening, they are selling model kits at half price with no limit on quantity until 11 Feb.

One can pick up the Revell 1/72 U-Boat for $35, an Academy 1/48 CH-46E for $24, Hasegawa 1/48 RF-4B for $22, Hasegawa AV-8B+ for $16

Thats allright Bill - he just named the entire stock list for the last 6 months at my local hobby lobbys. It would be a lot more exciting if they got new models more often.

Jeff/Bill:

This was my first purchase from a Hobby Lobby. I have read many posts on this group concerning the kits that others had bought, and said to myself that I've got to visit one. Until Monday, the closest one was 375 miles away...Now it's only 70 miles or so. Few years ago, when I wasn't making models, I had visited the one in Killeen, TX. I took up the hobby again last year when I retired.

Figured that anybody that lives near Ocala might want to take advantage of the half off sale.

Regarding kit stockage, is Jeff's comment concerning kit variety common to all Hobby Lobby's?

Dennis.

It matches our inventory in St. Peters, Missouri pretty closely. We also have a selection of 1/35 scale Dragon (DML) WWII armored vehicles. The store in Bettendorf, Iowa is similar and also carries the Trumpeter and Hobbycraft 1/32 scale Vought F4U Corsairs.

Inventory is spot on to the one near my house. Another one four miles away has a wider selection.

Guess I'll have to go back in a month or so to check it out again and see if this store is going to be one that carries a wider selection or not. Thanks.
