Very cool, thanks for posting! I'll try to check them out this weekend.

[Matt Bacon]

I'd love the Auburn Boattail and the Chrysler Atlantic, but I rather sadly, my nearest Ollies is 3208 miles away, in Massena, NY... ;-(

The box art on that Lindberg Stutz Racer is nice, too... very reminiscent of the Airfix 1/32 series of cars from the 60s...

 

bestest,

M.

I see a few 'I need'......like a hole in the head....but pick them up anyway.  thx

[Deathgoblin]

Gonna have to make a trip to Ollie's soon!  

[lordairgtar]

A trip to Lafayette Indiana would negate any savings. That's the closest one to my area.

[Carmak]

Those look like the leftovers of the sale I went to in Cedar Rapids, IA this spring. I was all Hawk models made before they sold to Round 2.

I knew a buyer came in a bought everything right after I was there. Now I know who

Carmak

Looks like Round 2 must've dumped some inventory since there's some AMT and Polar Lights kits in there.  

While you are at Ollies, check out the paint aisle,  they often have Duplicolor close outs of discontinued series and colors for a buck a can.  There was a dry spell for awhile where they had nothing, but the last two trips I found some decent stuff.  Last April they had a lot of primer and engine colors.  Recently I got tall can auto colors, not great colors-- mostly dark colors but for a buck?  I'll find a use for it!   I go to the Pottsville, PA store

I spy a Minicraft 1/144 scale Douglas C-54 on the right side of the fourth photo - nice! Any more Minicraft kits there?

Did they have the Lindberg Mercedes vintage racer in there with the Stutz?

[Maindrian Pace]

They seem to be about as common as White Castle around these parts.

[Johnt671]

I went back today and got these.

Chris, I didn't see your post until after I went, and no on the Mercedes. I may wait a few days and go back because the last time they had the kits they restocked the shelves with a few different kits. If I do go back, I'll check on the Minicraft kits for you.

New picture

Just a warning on the Gremlin, it's a 1/20 curbside kit. Even though the box is clearly mark so, I didn't see it and I started kit bashing in my mind. Now I'm bummed out.

[Kit Basher]

I went this morning. There is always some variation from store to store. The one I went to did not have the Atlantic or the Maverick, they did have the Charger police car. The AMT Vette kits were all curbsides.

[Johnt671]

Now I'm super bummed. As I open the box for the Stuz I'm thinking of an engine swap. I have some Ford flathead V-8s and a couple of flathead 4s that might make a cool upgrade or even one of the V-8s in my backup parts would be a neat upgrade if I could hide one under the original hood. Then I open the parts bag and pull the chassis out it looks pretty big, and a quick looks at the box shows a 1/16 model. but it will still look nice when I'm done.

[Sledsel]

I got the Nicholson 61 Chevy, Maverick Dodge and the Snap Willys panel today. Going back this weekend if someone without an Ollies wants something.

[Johnt671]

I'll open the box tomorrow and look it over, and get back to you.

    John, how about a review on that Auburn? Thinking about getting one

Old Pyro tool.....a tough build.....tried twice as a kid because they were at Pic n Save for 50  cents.....

[ChrisBcritter]

Looks like the wheels and tires from the Monogram '32 Cadillac would be a big help in improving the Auburn's appearance.

That snapper Willys is sharp. Yea, AMT has a great one, but this is a great detail painting build slump buster. I may get another

The Dodge 330 is the earlier issue I think. Check to see if it is bench or bucket seats. Box shows buckets, so I skipped it. Let us know what you find

Ditto on the Willys....I bought this for parts....have a few in stash.

The 330 shows bench but buckets inside.

[kitbash1]

Wow ! Too bad we have don't an Ollies in Ontario, I really like that Stuz racer.

[GLMFAA1]
