Re: Hobby Lobby in Ocala, FL

Inventory is spot on to the one near my house. Another one four miles away
has a wider selection.

Jeff/Bill:

This was my first purchase from a Hobby Lobby. I have read many posts on
this group concerning the kits that others had bought, and said to myself
that I've got to visit one. Until Monday, the closest one was 375 miles
away...Now it's only 70 miles or so. Few years ago, when I wasn't making
models, I had visited the one in Killeen, TX. I took up the hobby again
last year when I retired.

Figured that anybody that lives near Ocala might want to take advantage of
the half off sale.

Regarding kit stockage, is Jeff's comment concerning kit variety common to
all Hobby Lobby's?

Dennis.

I picked up the Academy CH-46, F-15C/D (last one) and Revell F-106 for a
total of $46 plus tax.

You just had to post this to make us all jealous, didn't you?? :-)

Thats allright Bill - he just named the entire stock list for the last 6
months at my local hobby lobbys. It would be a lot more exciting if they
got new models more often.
