Hey I know some of you may get stuff at Hobby Lobby.
I found this today.

I know it is not a REAL hobby shop. But is does have a few odds and ends.

I was thinking this was for www.hobby-lobby.com. :( I am not doing any decorating any time soon. ;D

I remember the first time I saw a Hobby Lobby store. Wow! that's the biggest hobby shop I've ever seen...and right in the middle of the town...darn near scratched my new truck trying to park so fast. I busted through the doors and???? Bummer! However, I did find a Guillows Cherokee 140 kit that I started to build, but never finished. That was some ten years ago. (BTW it was in the toy department) They do sell some stuff that can be adapted to the hobby, but we don't have one here.

On the minus side of the page is the fact that this place is a real dissapointment generally (as has been pointed out already) as a hobby shop for many of us. What they DO have that can be helpful to us with our interest in flying models is not a lot and some of it may be hard to find.
The limitations the coupon has is very restricting as it can only be used on items that do not have any other discounting and it seems that almost everything in the store is on sale making the coupon practically useless.
You can only use the coupon on ONE item only.
One bottle of CA.
One paint brush.
One stick or sheet of balsa.
One can of spray paint. You get the idea.
On the plus side:
There are a number of things that can be had if you look hard enough.
Balsa wood has not been mentioned yet. Although not a great place to find super light wood.
They also have airbrush equipment and supplies. This would be a good opportunity to buy a new compressor. One of the higher priced items that one could really benefit from with such a coupon... Provided you need a compressor...
They also have E-Xacto and other cutting brands. Boxes of single edge razor blades...
