Coincidence in that my first one was also from Hobby Lobby when I was down for an NNL East event. $8 and $9 is a steal! LOL

Yeah just found them, and the price was $8.74 lol. I remember finding them in a random buggy at hobby lobby.

My notifications haven't been showing up, so just caught up on several pages of content.

This is from Christmas and birthday (model related)

Did they get your order right?   I have always been afraid to order from them.  If they don’t have it they send something else..

Yes, they did - I ordered triplicate of all the kits shown.  Cant ever have too many Camaro's , the pro streets are for robbing parts and well the Demons -  I just needed some.  Their 40% off discount was going when I ordered them and it works for online purchases, shipping was only $16.00

If I drive to my nearest HL its 200 miles round trip and their kit selection has been picked over hard in the walk in store located at Billings MT.

I caught that same clearance sale. I went in to get one of this kit on the 40% sale and they were all marked down. They had seven of them and I bought four for later projects.

I don't think so, Matt had said that he wuz done at the end of 2024. The website is still up but you can't put anything in yer cart. I suppose you could contact him directly to see what stuff he's still got that he might be willing to deal on...doesn't hurt to ask.

Must be an illusion, looks similar to what I ordered 2 months ago, so there is still a chance I will get my stuff.

Just in from Japan. I ordered some stuff from Hobby Search and am really happy. I've been wanting the Mitsubishi for a long time to build one like was used in Cannonball Run 2. Ironically, I have an Abarth already that I forgot about. I think I got it around 2000. Obviously I found it again after I'd already paid for the new one. A few years ago I put the old one together quickly but with some new tires. The ones in the box had cracked I guess from age.

Not sure what size the Asuka wheels are, but they look like 15 inch or so.

Wow! I've never heard of ABARTH. I'll go ahead and ask where that make is from before Ace tells me to google it.  :)

Got these 3 Mack DM800 to use for some transkits i have. 1 is going to be a Mack B81 V8, 1 is going to be a Brockway 351 and the last will be a "flintstone" Mack (dm800 without offset cab)

Also found out that the DM800 kit is no longer in production so for those that have been thinking about buying one, now is the time to do it.

Received six promos I had won from an on-line auction. Back row is a '93 Dodge Stealth, '94 & '95 Mustangs, front row '79 El Camino, '75 Mustang II, '77 Vette. I am going to keep some and put the rest into my for-sale/trade box.

The real car was based on a Fiat, I can't remember which one. The kit is one of Fujimi's curbsides, but it builds up nice.

Stopped by one of my local Walmart’s on my way home. They just put out two full displays of kits. These two hitched a ride home with me 🤣😂
