Clemi Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Hey guys, next year I will live in Canada for one year and now I'm wondering if there are Hobby Lobby stores in Canada. I can't find informations on the website, maybe because I'm online with my smartphone. So can you help me? Or maybe there are stores in the USA near the canadian boarder, especially in the west near Vancouver. Thanks!
martinfan5 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 The nearest Hobby Lobby Store that I can find to Vancouver is in Lynnwood Washington state, which is north of Seattle
slusher Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 There are many members here who live in Canada who can help with places to buy kits if there is no Hobby Lobby..
Fabrux Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 A quick look on Yellowpages.ca shows lots of hobby shops in the Vancouver area, in addition to Michael's.
Erik Smith Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) I am pretty sure there are some members here from the Vancouver, BC area - and one from Victoria - so they should be a good resource. Check this too: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50562 Edited October 25, 2013 by Erik Smith
Clemi Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Hey guys! Thanks for the answers. I asked for Hobby Lobby because I read so much good things about it with the 40% Coupon. So I just wanted to see it in real life! But I will check the other hobby shops in canada, too! Edited October 25, 2013 by Clemi
John Pol Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 No hobby lobbys in Canada what so ever I wsh there was . John Pol
Tom Geiger Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Hi Clement- I know you said in the past that you wanted to come to the US, so let us know how it comes about that you are coming to Canada, the west coast no less! Hopefully you can get down to the US and some of our shows while you are on the continent.
Clemi Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Hey Tom, yes it's right, my dream is it to stay in the US for a longer time. But there is no way for me, I can be there for maximum 3 months or for ever if I win the green card. So I decided to do a working holiday year in Canada, It allows me to stay in Canada for one year and I can work in every job. I will definitely try to visit some of your shows in the US, this would be a great experience! My plan is to do a trip through the USA the last 1 or 2 months of my working holidays, if I would have enough money.
Mike Chernecki Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) There are Michael's stores in Canada, and you can use their 50% coupon. The only problem, with Michael's extreme markup + 50% coupon, your still paying $10 more than any hobby shop. Edited October 25, 2013 by Mike Chernecki

Erik Smith Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Vancouver is a great city, but of you have time and funds, the Pacific Northwest has a few model related shows, including some in BC. Start here: http://sabanw.org I will be attending some of them in 2014.
Clemi Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Erik, thanks for the link! I hope I can visit some shows. I don't want to stay in Vancouver all the year, I just want to start there. My big dream is to find a job in one of the big ski resorts like Whistler or Banff but the first month I will live in Vancouver.
freakshow12 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 There is a hobby lobby in edmonton Alberta. Been there a couple times
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 There is a hobby lobby in edmonton Alberta. Been there a couple times Not the same chain that he is referring to. Hobby Lobby is a large chain of hobby stores in the US. Doubtful that the Edmonton store would take their coupons!! :D Lots of hobby shops in the Vancouver area, likely better than Hobby Lobby, so you should have no problems finding what you are looking for.
Clemi Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 For sure I will check all the hobby shops there! I just hope that I have time and space to build model cars in that year... Hey Scott, nice to see you here, I was the guy who wrote you the mail about the SF-Reducer!
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 For sure I will check all the hobby shops there! I just hope that I have time and space to build model cars in that year... Hey Scott, nice to see you here, I was the guy who wrote you the mail about the SF-Reducer! Awesome, got notice yesterday that it had shipped. Hoping it will be in my PO Box on Monday when I go, if not, it will be 2 weeks later.
