mikemodeler Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Stopped in the local HTU today to see if they would be willing to offer up something when the wife has her afterschool program at the YMCA this fall. I have to stop back and visit with the owner (darn, gotta be something I will need!) and while I was there I bought a can of Tamiya red (TS-18) and another 77 GMC Pickup, which they had for $21.99. By the way, does anybody else belong to their shopper program? For every $100 spent, you will get aher $5 coupon for your next visit. I think I am halfway there and while it isn't the same as a 40% off coupon, it is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenb Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Almost bought that ghostbuster ecto 1a at hobby lobby today with my 40% of coupon. Bought the amt diamond reo truck instead. Was wondering how that ghostbuster kit was. Need to look around in here, there's got to be some info on it.

Deathgoblin Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Arii 72 Mustang Mach 1. Yeah, I know the chassis is garbage, but the body looks better to me than the AMT kit. Someone needs to do a modern take on one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
