Model Forum / General / Models / February 2008Walmart
Walmart at least California and Nevada are no longer carrying plastic models. No more 21st Century 1/32 scale kits at great prices. > Walmart at least California and Nevada are no longer carrying plastic > models. > No more 21st Century 1/32 scale kits at great prices. It appears the one here in my area of Oklahoma is heading down the same road, models are basically gone. The few that are left are in the reduced, get rid of it aisle.

Same in south-central Indiana, I noticed. All I got was the Revell "Spirit of St. Louis." Nearest Hobby Lobby is 25 miles away. Good thing I've got a stash.

Put a codicil in the will that they have to build and paint all the kits before they get penny one of the rest of the will.

One no models at all. One hand 6 weirdos models left. They wanted 12.00 for each. Dan aka modelar7 Thanks for the tip!! Checked out the Wally World in my neighborhood. No models in sight, asked the manager. They had stuff in the back getting ready to put on closeout. He sold me a whole rack of paints (very full) and threw in the rack for $25. I'll be checking back tomorrow to see what he wants for the left over models. Wally Worlds in the Quad Cities (Moline & Rock Island, IL, Davenport & Bettendorf, IA) have completely denuded shelves of anything model-related. Fortunately(?) we have a Hobby Lobby, a Hobbytown USA and a couple good family-owned brick and mortars. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/group/rec.models.scale/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/faq.html > Wally Worlds in the Quad Cities (Moline & Rock Island, IL, Davenport & > Bettendorf, IA) have completely denuded shelves of anything model-related. > �Fortunately(?) we have a Hobby Lobby, �a Hobbytown USA and a couple good > family-owned brick and mortars. Shelves look like a bomb hit them. Nothing left at all but the assembled painted kits, which could be deassembled in a pinch. Based on the human wreckage in the aisle, Wally got tired of them bringing back kits and complaining that they were broke. > Shelves look like a bomb hit them.

Anyone seen what the situation is at Toys "R" Us? I wonder if they will drop them also. Pat on 2/8/2008 8:46 PM Pat Flannery said the following: >> Shelves look like a bomb hit them.

Literally. Every Christmas is said to be their last, and the decision may have been made this year. OTOH, there's a small town chain called Fairway that carries a small, decent assortment of cars and planes, mainly Revell/Monogram. >Thanks for the tip!!

If there's no competition they're as good as they 'need' to be.

Either way, that LIS Chariot looks real promising. And 1:25 scale to boot. Looks like I'll be unloading that Lunar Models Chariot to ePay.... The Landing Pod looks nice to. > > Walmart at least California and Nevada are no longer carrying plastic > > models. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Pat Any other stores in town?
