Oh I'm with you on that, as time goes on the die cast cars have gotten more detailed. Way more expensive though, I am modeling trains and some of the disaster for that is insane.. I always stop in the car section in every store that might have one.. just to look, really appreciate you watching.
You are not a senior just a big kid at heart.👍. I'm 57 and work at a small stone quarry , mostly the front end loader but sometimes the 6 wheel drive truck, D 6 dozer and the plant so I tell everyone ( especially kids) I still play with Tonka toy only real ones. I am slowly going to do a train lay out and thinking about getting remote control excavator, dozer and such.
@@jeffharper7579 well said Jeff, we're all big kids at heart. I do trains on my other channel. Link in description.. hope you get a layout started.. and remote loader would be awesome.. appreciate you watching
$2.69 for a bottle of Testors ! I can remember when it was $ 0..15 ( 15 cents ) per bottle . An AMT 3 in 1 Trophy series 1/25th scale model kit went for $1.79 plus tax . The Sixties and early Seventies were a great time to build models .
My brother's in the 70s built a ton of car and plane models.. I myself later in the 80s built a few car models. Remember maybe 50 cents per bottle of paint. Cray prices 5hese days but that now sadly is the average.. appreciate you watching
I remember buying an F-15 Strike Eagle model kit along with all the paints, brushes, and glue, I needed for $10 back in the mid to late 90s. (Also, it would’ve been $0.15/ bottle. $0.015 is a penny and a half. Just sayin’.)
Good morning Pappy, great video! Hobby lobby does have quite abit of starter kits and extras for the quick grab or even the beginner. I remember when I was a kid years ago my parents got me this US Trucking slot car set. It was really cool. However trains took over 🤷♂️😅 Thanks for sharing. Have a good day and stay safe. Happy modeling!! - Jason
Thanks Jason, I remember that trucking set. It was awesome. Hobby lobby dosnt have a lot but like you said good for beginner sets, but I do like their selection of modeling supplies. Appreciate you watching, Happy modeling
I still collect model cars and I am almost at retirement age. I found some good ones at Ollies. I bought a Hess truck for myself and gave it to myself for Christmas. One of the hobbies I want to spend time on when I finally stop working 40-50 hr weeks is to build model cars to keep me busy in the winter months.
Hi ya Jimmy, that's awesome, on my other channel, I play with trains, so I'm with ya. Models, die-cast, train or car layouts, are awesome definitely a great retirement thing to keep us busy.. and a great feeling of accomplishment.. I never thought to look at Ollie's for stuff, may have to stop in and see what they have.. appreciate you watching, Happy modeling...
Long , long ago Hobby Lobby was a mail order hobby store, lots of radio control plane stuff. They even had a radio control with there name on it. Not sure what ever happen to them or if the now a days store are one of the same , but back in the day they didn't sell couches
Thats pretty cool, didn't know they had mail order back then, I've only ever known them as a box store, there's definitely more craft stuff than there is what most considers to be hobby stuff. Appreciate you watching
The Hobby Lobby craft store in this video was founded by David Green. The online "Hobby Lobby" (no longer in business) that sold rc related products was founded by Jim Martin. They are/were two separate and unrelated business entities. I do recall making a few orders from the Hobby Lobby rc catalog, along with Tower Hobbies, and Omni Models. My local Hobby Lobby, I know this can be confusing, has a decent supply of hobby stuff and "toy" grade rc. I mainly go for the model cars (40% Off), glue, and paints. Although I have purchased a couple of the Bachmann N scale train sets and some of the HO slot cars.
Cool thank you, that's why I love the comments. I always learn something.. I definitely love when they do the 40% sales. Appreciate this comment and you watching
Thats awesome, good to hear your still collecting, I use to collect all the hot wheels. Got outta hand, now I just look for the Ford ones. And on my other channel I do model trains, so I'm still looking at hot wheels and die-cast. Glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
Shout out for sure Jerry, anytime.... 👍 hobby lobby usually has something that can help your projects in a pinch. I love those sections, wish they had more actual train hobby stuff though.. be cool to see them offer a railcar or 2..or a house model, glad you enjoyed the video. And always appreciate you watching..
Thats cool, I have gotten a few things there myself, does your store have as much as I shown in this one. Some folks said they don't have as much I their store.. appreciate you watching
@@PappysPotluck depends on the store we have 2 good size ones here and each one has a different assortment of products, so I hit both there is a 3rd on the other side of town I goto once in a while..some of what you showed the one store has , the other one has more scenic stuff and also way more model kits, tanks,cars,,planes etc.. the third one has smaller variety..
Thank you, I didn't notice the car body in the package, I had to pause it and really look at it. that's a good idea, you can paint it any way you like.. appreciate you pointing that out. And you watching..
Yeah Dave, it's definitely more of a crafty store that the ladies like, but they gotcabout 4 or 5 isles for the fellas. Got some cool signs for the garage too. Next time she goes, take a stroll. Bet ya find something 🤣🤣 appreciate you watching
I been to a few but not coast to coast.. I like what they do carry but wish their name implied a bit more of the men's hobbys.. appreciate you watching
Glad I could share it with you, hope you have a similar experience. I been seeing folks leave comments that some of their stores don't carry some of this stuff.. You'll have to let me know.. I appreciate you watching.
@PappysPotluck Yes Pappy. There is one at Wheeling at The Highlands up the Road from Cabelas and there is also one in Parkersburg. My wife loves going there. Me and Jebb immediately head to the Hobby Section lol.
I got back into modeling a few years ago. As I mentioned in another video, the Hobby Lobby near me, south of Boston, has 40% off models every other week. They have a good selection, well equipped with other modeling items. Staff is very nice and the store is well organized.
Definitely is a plus to have friendly staff, and my wife just recently told me abut their 40% sales, that's awesome. I'm going to go check in more often and see what's up.. appreciate you watching, and the comment..
Thats awesome, that was a cool car.. there are some great ones there that I wanted to buy.. but had to restrain myself, I got so many collections I gotta stop emptying my wallet.. 🤣🤣 .. glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
Thats awesome, so glad I could show it to you, I barely touched on any of what they actually have for arts and crafts. Hobby Lobby has rows and rows of crafty stuff. Glad I could share.. appreciate you watching
I love this section at Hobby lobby, but not much else in the store for me.. but it definitely has a little something for everyone. Appreciate you watching and commenting..
Morning Mark, sorry to hear that.. I have gotten a couple of comments saying similar things. Was surprised. Thought all stores would be similar. The stores here (central Ohio) have more or less but always something. Appreciate the comment and you watching.
I went to the Hobby Lobby in Grand Junction, Colorado a few years ago SPECIFICALLY for slot cars, trains and scale models. They had NOTHING. It was a giant "craft store." I left with nothing.
I finally went back into hobby lobby after not going in years, the place looked no different than Michael’s with less than four small sections of models and supplies . Sad they put my local hobby shops out of business. In the beginning they had a huge RC, planes , cars, boats helicopters etc . Now pfft nothing
Yeah I live not too far from Modesto California and their store had one slot car on the shelf basically look like the craft section at Walmart I asked a woman who is stalking the shelves in the train section which was really small and she said it's just corporate it's Hit or Miss sometimes they'll have a lot of something and then it's gone a week later
@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 my dad lives about 2 hours away, the next time I go visit, I'm going to check out his store and see if they have the same amount there, or is it like some of what you folks are saying.. appreciate you watching
That sucks, been seeing alot of what you said in these comments, the 3 that are close to me are close to the same with what they have. The 1 has a bit less. Hope that don't happen here, appreciate you watching.
Very cool Pappy. I love these types of tours! I am not only into trains but, also model car kits! I try to limit my collection of die cast 1/64 scale models, tough when I model (Trains) S scale and some ho! (Dave).
Thanks Dave, I have a few collections that has gotten out of control. Been trying to do better.. 🤣🤣 but it's nice that hobby lobby has a good supply of modeling supplies to pick from if you got no where else to go.. wish they had more train stuff though.. glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
@@PappysPotluck It's a popular AFX Datsun reissue, plus iwheels version (on my bucket list), that's why it jumped out at me. Sold out for $49 on their site and now around $100 on Ebay. The normal version was $29 and I think it sold out very fast too..
Nice, thats a goid size, mines just a typical afx style 1/64 just something fun the wife and I can running on. I'll have to check some of my other hobby stores for more cars and tracks. Appreciate you watching
Thats awesome Rick, you guys gonna have fun. Definitely will make a good memory for him.. I'll have to do a video of my track for ya.. thanks for watching
I'm not sure if our Hobby Lobby has these items or not, but I'm looking for that section next time we're there. Usually we're there for something the wife needs, and haven't really branched out much. Appreciate the info and for taking us on the browsing tour. Great job as always bro.!!
Definitely take a look next time your there, each one has slightly more different things, some more than others.. glad you enjoyed the video, always appreciate you watching
Wait.... did you just say Atlas track.. wow. That's awesome you still have that.. my dad long time ago sold all my atlas track in a yard sale while I was at school.. 🤣🤣 you wanna talk about Mad... I'll have to do a video on my track I shown I'm the video.. I have a few auto world cars I bought a few years back, bur haven't bought any new ones on a while.. I appreciate you watching..
I am amazed that Autoworld is now a dominant "brand" on the slot car rack. They started as mail order. My brother and I pooled our money around summer of '69 and bought an Aurora set from the AW catalog (the AW catalog was like the old J.C. Whitney car parts catalog - onion skin paper). I had an Aurora Baja Bronco - exactly like the one they sell today. A year ago I donated all my HO track and cars to a young man at work that is a great modeler. I know it's in good hands.
Thats pretty cool, I miss those typed of magazines. Especially JC Whitney.. very cool of you to donate your stuff, things are so pricey these days, I'm sure he appreciated it. As I appreciate you watching..
I'm an old school guy, and used to run the 1/24th lexan "wing cars" cars years ago. I still have one, but nobody has the big tracks in my area any longer.☹️
Yeah my dad took me to a few big tracks when I wad a kid, it was awesome to watch. But I don't know of any places that that still operate them. I would love to see that again.. appreciate you watching
Wow I think you got the good Hobby Lobby. Mine is big and stocked full of stuff and always busy, but almost no modeling stuff. It's all lame home decor
Really Bill ? We have 3 stores with in 15 mins, some have less than others but they all have a decent selection.. thought they were all the same, appreciate you watching
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I do have some great 1: 18th scale movie cars ill have to show. IL be checking out some of your videos, really appreciate your support. Thank you for watching
Hobby Lobby is about the only show in town for hobby supplies in my area, all the old hobby shops are gone. They have a good selection of paints and tools, but slot car stuff is limited. They only carry AutoWorld HO slot cars, and they are the old pancake style which are slow and de-slot easily. The inline AFX Mega G+ are the best major brand ones out there now and Hobby Lobby does not carry any AFX. There are other smaller companies out there also like Viper Scale Racing. Those cars are incredibly fast and hug the track.
Oh wow, thanks for the info, as I havnt kept up on the slot car world, I run mine here and there but havnt bought any cars in a while. But I'd like a few new ones I'm going to look into your recommendations.. plus I need to tune up the ones I got.. really appreciate this comment and you watching
Cool glad I could share it with you.. hope your store has close to what ares has, some folks saying their stores don't have half this.. good luck.. and really appreciate you watching..
I like hobby lobby because they have a lot of items that you can’t get at a typical hobby shop. I love the selection of tools, paint, and scenery items they carry.
Thank you, really appreciate it.. hope your store has some good stuff. I'm going to do another video of some different stores and see what they have.. appreciate you watching. I'll stop by and check you out as well
All the Hobby Lobbies near me have 1:24 scale model kits and die cast cars for days, but nothing at all in 1:32. I was able to find a 1:24 scale Mopar body for racing at the club, but I never see anything I can use for my home track.
I did not know that was a thing on the day I made this video. But reading thru comments. People like you asked the same thing. So I went back a few days later and it was gone. But there was a different car there with white wheels. So 9 purched that one. Is the white wheels the chase indicator.. appreciate you watching
Anybody seen at Hobby Lobby an HO slot car in kit form? I could have sworn that I saw something similar to the "pit kits" but it had a body molded in clear plastic and also had a motor. I am not sure what brand it was.
Thats awesome, even with the manual... wish I had my old sets. I had the smoky and the bandit set and the TCR trucking set.. they were amazing. Appreciate you watching
Sad to say you are right, problem with ebay is every one thinks they have something special and want way to much money and always over charge you for shipping. So you really gotta want it if your shopping on ebay. Since posting this video I been told they stock the slot cars very often so I should check back every other week to see what's new. And for 20 bucks, witch is cheaper than a towards website. It may be worth a stop in from time to time.. appreciate you watching..
Yes that is true for the 70s on up generation but the history of the panel van goes way back, and the old timers while i was growing up still called it a panel van, even the Ford pinto cruising wagon was called a panel van because North American panel vans were initially based upon the 2 door station wagon models, while Europe's narrower roads dictated that panel vans utilize the smaller donor chassis of subcompact cars in that market. I do appreciate you watching..
🤣🤣🤣 good catch Dan, I seen the snap on car at the same time as Napa and blended the 2, I myself got a kick out of it.. glad you enjoyed the video, always appreciate you watching
Oh, I thought that Canada had a few.. thats interesting.. as you seen its not the best place for a lot of modeling stuff but when its all you got it's good to have.. but the supply of model cars was decent.. appreciate you watching. I'll stop in and check out what you have as well..
Hobby Lobby only sells what they can pick up cheap...then they mark it up to full retail. Testors spray cans of paint: the little cans are $8-$11 !! For the little can? Really? And $2.69 for the little square bottles! Most of their stuff is from China and isn't marked in English! Thanks to stores like them, they've driven the little hobby shops out of business. 😢
Pricing these days does really suck. Can't argue that. Definitely sad the mom and pop hobby stores are fading inti history.. they were the best.. hobby lobby stuff may be pricey, but if you really need it now in the middle of a project. It's at least an option for those who have no other outlet.. its definitely gonna get a lot worse.. I really appreciate you watching
Can't argue that, but in my area, the Walmart is always empty shelves, or no selection. Yeah you'll pay a buck or 2 more at HL but at last there's a good selection to look at or pick from.. otherwise I would definitely get them at Walmart.. I appreciate the comment and you watching
remember model cars for a dollar up to 3 dollars paint 25 cents, when tired of looking at same car it was a lighter and make crashed cars then last was cars v M-80,s
🤣🤣🤣 oh i so remember that.. my pops was never happy when he caught me doing it.. and we use to put them black pellets they called snakes when you lit them on fire.. and watch them grow out of the interior.. ah the good ol days, glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching
This trip I didn't buy any thing, we were having a slot car discussion and I just wanted to show a few of those folks what my store had. Is the white lightning a special one.. 🤔 I havnt kept up on what's good these days, appreciate you watching
The real story on Hobby Lobby 1/64 scale slot cars is price. Almost all go for $19.99, about $15 cheaper than other online sources for the same cars. The day to day selection isn’t great, but if you check regularly, they’ll have new cars from time to time.
Thank you Thomas, after looking about the net, I have noticed the same cars. Just like you said, are more expensive plus shipping. Definitely will be frequently check back for new stock, appreciate the info and you watching
You can go to their website and see all they have to offer and their pricing. This video is almost a year old and will be on here 10 years from now, prices change. That's why I don't include Them. Appreciate you watching..
Oh sorry, I can see why you think that.. but that's not a bad idea for another video.. bit I hope you still liked the video, appreciate you taking the time to watch..
It's definitely fun when you have permanent layout, and you can race when ever you want. I have a small slot car set that folds off the wall. It's nice if your short on space.. appreciate you watching
I do catch your shorts on that.. that's a great idea.. I just uploaded a new hobby lobby video stop back this Wednesday.. these stores I found lock up the slot cars and you can't see what they truly have.. thanks for watching
You do you, that's what I believe. But could you educate me on the why's of this comment. I have had similar comments. But no one explains why, or what any religion has to do with shopping at a certain store. This is a sincere question.. thank you for watching
This one is in Reynoldsburg Ohio. Sorry to hear you don't have the same, a few folks have said the same about there's. Dosnt seem fair they don't have the same stuff in all their locations. Appreciate you watching
Ah the good ol days, yeah my brothers would buy a Ton of models with their paper route money. I always bought hot wheels.. Definitely pricing kids out of the hobby. Appreciate you watching
Hobby Lobby is a sad disappointment 😮💨 they should call themselves CRAFT World , or something like that. Train & Slot Car stuff is basic and generic ... luckily, they have other Art Supplies i can use for other interests
I've complained about the same thing to my wife. The little section I shown in this video is the true word of Hobby, not a store full of picture frames and plastic flowers. And this store is all some folks have to go to besides the internet. So if it's all they get then at least it's something.. thanks for watching, and this comment
Do agree more craft than hobby this store more stocked than ours if u can believe it we do have one hobby store in our town but it is getting harder to find true hobby stores
@PappysPotluck Yeah Pappy, you can't believe everything on the internet. If there's something there that I want then I'm gonna save some money and buy it. Places like this and Menards are Bargain Stores for Train Lovers.
@@williamjoyal3553 your not lying. The die cast cars definitely were. But if your looking for a certain one and this is the place you find it. You'll probably spend it.. But the slot cars are a good price.. thanks for coming along, appreciate you watching
I’m a senior and I still love die cast cars and trucks. Even die cast construction. I’ll never outgrown this.

@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965 my dad lives about 2 hours away, the next time I go visit, I'm going to check out his store and see if they have the same amount there, or is it like some of what you folks are saying.. appreciate you watching
Hobby Lobby ❤❤❤❤❤
Truly... 👍👍👍 thank you for watching
The H L by me has scaled back on everything you just showed. When asked they just tell me, new company policy.
That sucks, been seeing alot of what you said in these comments, the 3 that are close to me are close to the same with what they have. The 1 has a bit less. Hope that don't happen here, appreciate you watching.
Cool video thanks,,,and if you go online,,they have lots more,,way bigger slot car Selection and full sets…a lot more modes too…
Oh, ! Thanks David, I've ever checked out their web sight.. I will be now.. appreciate that, and you watching.
Very cool Pappy. I love these types of tours! I am not only into trains but, also model car kits! I try to limit my collection of die cast 1/64 scale models, tough when I model (Trains) S scale and some ho! (Dave).
Thanks Dave, I have a few collections that has gotten out of control. Been trying to do better.. 🤣🤣 but it's nice that hobby lobby has a good supply of modeling supplies to pick from if you got no where else to go.. wish they had more train stuff though.. glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
@@PappysPotluck Your welcome and I think we all have that issue here and there.
Great price on that chase iwheels slot car with the white tires.
Tha car has been brought up a few times in these comments, can you fill me in on why its so special.. appreciate you watching
white lightning.... just like greenie or chase or treasure hunt in other brands
Oh, dang it, wasn't aware. Maybe I should stop back in there and see if it's still there.. thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it..
@@PappysPotluck It's a popular AFX Datsun reissue, plus iwheels version (on my bucket list), that's why it jumped out at me. Sold out for $49 on their site and now around $100 on Ebay. The normal version was $29 and I think it sold out very fast too..
@@PappysPotluckthe 510 Datsun is a chase, I've found two
I have 1/32 scale slot car track. Strombecker
Nice, thats a goid size, mines just a typical afx style 1/64 just something fun the wife and I can running on. I'll have to check some of my other hobby stores for more cars and tracks. Appreciate you watching
Funny u should post this. I just bought a slot car set. Can't wait to get it and play with my son.
Thats awesome Rick, you guys gonna have fun. Definitely will make a good memory for him.. I'll have to do a video of my track for ya.. thanks for watching
I'm not sure if our Hobby Lobby has these items or not, but I'm looking for that section next time we're there. Usually we're there for something the wife needs, and haven't really branched out much. Appreciate the info and for taking us on the browsing tour. Great job as always bro.!!
Definitely take a look next time your there, each one has slightly more different things, some more than others.. glad you enjoyed the video, always appreciate you watching
@@PappysPotluck Hell Yeah… Now that I know what’s there !!
Thanks for the info Boss 👍👍
Your welcome, thanks for watching
The Rally car with the white tires is a CHASE vehicle!.. (rare) (1970 Datsun 510 #5)
Thats pretty cool, good to know, appreciate this comment and you watching.. I'll have to do some googling on it.. 👍
I caught that also, and was planning to let pappy know, but wanted to read the comments to see if anyone else caught it....good eye.
I have bought a few of the slot cars there. I like them, run good on my old Atlas track.
Wait.... did you just say Atlas track.. wow. That's awesome you still have that.. my dad long time ago sold all my atlas track in a yard sale while I was at school.. 🤣🤣 you wanna talk about Mad... I'll have to do a video on my track I shown I'm the video.. I have a few auto world cars I bought a few years back, bur haven't bought any new ones on a while.. I appreciate you watching..
@PappysPotluck On my Channel I have a video of my HO cars running on that old track.
I am amazed that Autoworld is now a dominant "brand" on the slot car rack. They started as mail order. My brother and I pooled our money around summer of '69 and bought an Aurora set from the AW catalog (the AW catalog was like the old J.C. Whitney car parts catalog - onion skin paper). I had an Aurora Baja Bronco - exactly like the one they sell today. A year ago I donated all my HO track and cars to a young man at work that is a great modeler. I know it's in good hands.
Thats pretty cool, I miss those typed of magazines. Especially JC Whitney.. very cool of you to donate your stuff, things are so pricey these days, I'm sure he appreciated it. As I appreciate you watching..
I'm an old school guy, and used to run the 1/24th lexan "wing cars" cars years ago. I still have one, but nobody has the big tracks in my area any longer.☹️
Yeah my dad took me to a few big tracks when I wad a kid, it was awesome to watch. But I don't know of any places that that still operate them. I would love to see that again.. appreciate you watching
Fun game try to find just 1 item in HL that doesn't say made in China...
Oh man that sounds like a fun challenge, or maybe My next video 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding 🤣🤣 really appreciate you watching.
I love modeling cars
It is a fun hobby, ive only done a few in my lifetime but I've seen some folks do some amazing models, blows me away. Appreciate you watching
Wow I think you got the good Hobby Lobby. Mine is big and stocked full of stuff and always busy, but almost no modeling stuff. It's all lame home decor
Really Bill ? We have 3 stores with in 15 mins, some have less than others but they all have a decent selection.. thought they were all the same, appreciate you watching
Hello Pappy, great video on slot cars and die cast cars at Hobby Lobby. I subbed to your channel, congrats on 400 subs. Have a good weekend.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I do have some great 1: 18th scale movie cars ill have to show. IL be checking out some of your videos, really appreciate your support. Thank you for watching
Today in the store in Columbia,SC. Plus there are model railroad clubs in every town in SC.
@@amyreynolds3619 thanks for watching
3:55 The 1970 Datsun 510 is an iWheels chase piece.
Thats why I love people leaving comments. I always learn something new.. thank you, and appreciate you watching
Keep those slotcar videos coming!!!
I'll have to do a video of my track layout for you.. really appreciate you watching.
@@PappysPotluck 🤜🤛👍😎🤟
Awesome video Pappy 😊
Thanks Tammy, just figured since the topic came up I'd pop this off real quik. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Oh man, I didn’t know they still made rocket stuff.
I come across it on occasion, this is the most I've seen in a while, glad I could share it with you.. appreciate you watching
Hobby Lobby is about the only show in town for hobby supplies in my area, all the old hobby shops are gone.
They have a good selection of paints and tools, but slot car stuff is limited. They only carry AutoWorld HO slot cars, and they are the old pancake style which are slow and de-slot easily. The inline AFX Mega G+ are the best major brand ones out there now and Hobby Lobby does not carry any AFX. There are other smaller companies out there also like Viper Scale Racing. Those cars are incredibly fast and hug the track.
Oh wow, thanks for the info, as I havnt kept up on the slot car world, I run mine here and there but havnt bought any cars in a while. But I'd like a few new ones I'm going to look into your recommendations.. plus I need to tune up the ones I got.. really appreciate this comment and you watching
THANK YOU PAPPY, THANKS TO YOU I KNOW THE SELECTIONS SHOUT OUT FROM CHICAGO,ILLINOIS
Cool glad I could share it with you.. hope your store has close to what ares has, some folks saying their stores don't have half this.. good luck.. and really appreciate you watching..
I have Auto world and carrera on my front porch with my n scale layout and awesome video
Thank you, Carrera is a cool size, a little bigger than my layout.. glad you enjoyed the video, appreciate you watching
I like hobby lobby because they have a lot of items that you can’t get at a typical hobby shop. I love the selection of tools, paint, and scenery items they carry.
For sure, agree. The hobby shops close to me, definitely don't have the selection of tools. Appreciate you watching
Just joined your channel. I need to hit the local Hobby Lobby soon and see what they have. 😎👍
Thank you, really appreciate it.. hope your store has some good stuff. I'm going to do another video of some different stores and see what they have.. appreciate you watching. I'll stop by and check you out as well
All the Hobby Lobbies near me have 1:24 scale model kits and die cast cars for days, but nothing at all in 1:32. I was able to find a 1:24 scale Mopar body for racing at the club, but I never see anything I can use for my home track.
Ive actually used model car spray paint and clear and painted both the dash pad, metal dash, and the faded plastic door panels before
That's a good tip. Especially some of the colors available for models.. appreciate you watching
I hope you picked up that chase rally slot car. Good video.
I did not know that was a thing on the day I made this video. But reading thru comments. People like you asked the same thing. So I went back a few days later and it was gone. But there was a different car there with white wheels. So 9 purched that one. Is the white wheels the chase indicator.. appreciate you watching
Anybody seen at Hobby Lobby an HO slot car in kit form? I could have sworn that I saw something similar to the "pit kits" but it had a body molded in clear plastic and also had a motor. I am not sure what brand it was.
I'll keep my eye out for it, I go into a lot of different hobby shops.. but the pit kits is the only thing I've ever seen.. thanks for watching
I have my original sets from 1977 about one hundred feet and twelve cars with the Arowa manual the has main track layouts.
Thats awesome, even with the manual... wish I had my old sets. I had the smoky and the bandit set and the TCR trucking set.. they were amazing. Appreciate you watching
Ebay has taken over in the die-cast & slot car sales,sad to see this store had a small collection of Auto World slot cars.
Sad to say you are right, problem with ebay is every one thinks they have something special and want way to much money and always over charge you for shipping. So you really gotta want it if your shopping on ebay. Since posting this video I been told they stock the slot cars very often so I should check back every other week to see what's new. And for 20 bucks, witch is cheaper than a towards website. It may be worth a stop in from time to time.. appreciate you watching..
excellent
Thank you, I appreciate you watching
That's a Vega Wagon. Not a van.
Yes that is true for the 70s on up generation but the history of the panel van goes way back, and the old timers while i was growing up still called it a panel van, even the Ford pinto cruising wagon was called a panel van because North American panel vans were initially based upon the 2 door station wagon models, while Europe's narrower roads dictated that panel vans utilize the smaller donor chassis of subcompact cars in that market. I do appreciate you watching..
So where you tired when you did this video since you wanted to get your nap on. Great stuff Pappy
🤣🤣🤣 good catch Dan, I seen the snap on car at the same time as Napa and blended the 2, I myself got a kick out of it.. glad you enjoyed the video, always appreciate you watching
Hello
Hello, 👋 appreciate you watching
Great job on the hobby lobby merch
Thank you, really appreciate this comment and you watching.
Awesome
Thank you, appreciate you watching..
my hobby lobby dont have crap
🤣🤣 you sure Dwight, they should all carry bout the same stuff, but definitely sucks if they dont.. thanks for watching
@@PappysPotluck mine has nothing that's any good for trains or slot cars
Pretty cool we don't have hobby lobby in Canada just connected to you
Oh, I thought that Canada had a few.. thats interesting.. as you seen its not the best place for a lot of modeling stuff but when its all you got it's good to have.. but the supply of model cars was decent.. appreciate you watching. I'll stop in and check out what you have as well..
Hobby Lobby only sells what they can pick up cheap...then they mark it up to full retail.
Testors spray cans of paint: the little cans are
$8-$11 !! For the little can? Really? And $2.69 for the little square bottles! Most of their stuff is from China
and isn't marked in English!
Thanks to stores like them, they've driven the little hobby shops out of business. 😢
Pricing these days does really suck. Can't argue that. Definitely sad the mom and pop hobby stores are fading inti history.. they were the best.. hobby lobby stuff may be pricey, but if you really need it now in the middle of a project. It's at least an option for those who have no other outlet.. its definitely gonna get a lot worse.. I really appreciate you watching
Hobby Lobby prices are way too high for die cast at least two to three dollars more than Walmart or Target.
Can't argue that, but in my area, the Walmart is always empty shelves, or no selection. Yeah you'll pay a buck or 2 more at HL but at last there's a good selection to look at or pick from.. otherwise I would definitely get them at Walmart.. I appreciate the comment and you watching
remember model cars for a dollar up to 3 dollars paint 25 cents, when tired of looking at same car it was a lighter and make crashed cars then last was cars v M-80,s
🤣🤣🤣 oh i so remember that.. my pops was never happy when he caught me doing it.. and we use to put them black pellets they called snakes when you lit them on fire.. and watch them grow out of the interior.. ah the good ol days, glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you watching
I have a Ho scale slot car track
Thats the size of mine too.. Great fun.. I need new pick ups fir my cars so I can get running again.. appreciate you watching
I hope you pick up the white ligthing?
This trip I didn't buy any thing, we were having a slot car discussion and I just wanted to show a few of those folks what my store had. Is the white lightning a special one.. 🤔 I havnt kept up on what's good these days, appreciate you watching
Hobby stores in all cities of SC
Thats cool, don't think they are in all Ohio city's but never checked..
The models are cool but not the prices , lol
Yeah things are outta control, and I definitely didn't like saying they average prices.. really hurts the hobby, appreciate you watching
Hi, I just subbed to your channel.
Awesome, thank you. Really appreciate you. I'll go check.out your channel.. 👍👍
The real story on Hobby Lobby 1/64 scale slot cars is price. Almost all go for $19.99, about $15 cheaper than other online sources for the same cars. The day to day selection isn’t great, but if you check regularly, they’ll have new cars from time to time.
Thank you Thomas, after looking about the net, I have noticed the same cars. Just like you said, are more expensive plus shipping. Definitely will be frequently check back for new stock, appreciate the info and you watching
Would have been helpful to give us some slot car sets pricing at this store.
You can go to their website and see all they have to offer and their pricing. This video is almost a year old and will be on here 10 years from now, prices change. That's why I don't include Them. Appreciate you watching..
To be honest, I thought it would show the diecast cars from the Cars franchise.
Oh sorry, I can see why you think that.. but that's not a bad idea for another video.. bit I hope you still liked the video, appreciate you taking the time to watch..
I need a layout for my afx, and my ho-train set
It's definitely fun when you have permanent layout, and you can race when ever you want. I have a small slot car set that folds off the wall. It's nice if your short on space.. appreciate you watching
Back in the 80’s the model cars were $5
Ahhhh, those were the days. Appreciate you watching
that is a dangerous place for me
Oh for sure, you can spend dome money Quick..
I try to stop at Hobby Lobby once a week to see if there is anything new.
I do catch your shorts on that.. that's a great idea.. I just uploaded a new hobby lobby video stop back this Wednesday.. these stores I found lock up the slot cars and you can't see what they truly have.. thanks for watching
@@PappysPotluck We have a store that does that but it is close to Newark so I understand why they have to do that.
Sorry, as an Episcopalian I cannot step across the threshold of a Hobby Lobby.
You do you, that's what I believe. But could you educate me on the why's of this comment. I have had similar comments. But no one explains why, or what any religion has to do with shopping at a certain store. This is a sincere question.. thank you for watching

No model railroading in the store
@@amyreynolds3619 thats not right, they should all have something. Thanks for watching
I miss when you were able to pick up plastic models for 12$ instead of 32$ but they always have good stuff
Ah the good ol days, yeah my brothers would buy a Ton of models with their paper route money. I always bought hot wheels.. Definitely pricing kids out of the hobby. Appreciate you watching
Back in the 70s a 1/48 scale model airplanes were like 3 bucks
Wish we could go back. 70s and 80s were a great time.. 👍 appreciate you watching
@@PappysPotluck Amen to that !! Keep up the great videos
Hobby Lobby is a sad disappointment 😮💨 they should call themselves CRAFT World , or something like that.
Train & Slot Car stuff is basic and generic ... luckily, they have other Art Supplies i can use for other interests
I've complained about the same thing to my wife. The little section I shown in this video is the true word of Hobby, not a store full of picture frames and plastic flowers. And this store is all some folks have to go to besides the internet. So if it's all they get then at least it's something.. thanks for watching, and this comment
I've been saying for some time now that they should change the name to Craft Croft.
@@robertward5368 perfect 🤣🤣🤣... appreciate you watching
Do agree more craft than hobby this store more stocked than ours if u can believe it we do have one hobby store in our town but it is getting harder to find true hobby stores
Thas a shame, definitely loosing the great hobby stores.. we have 1 or 2 in the area. But their prices are way too high. Appreciate you watching
No hot wheels
There were a few, a bit farther down the isle, but wasn't worth showing.. thanks for watching
Chase at 3:56
Thank you, few have told me it was there as well.. can you explain what a chase is. Appreciate you watching
I wouldn’t buy from hobby lobby if you gave me the money to.
How come??? Why is that.. ???

@@jebbthetrainkid1281 that's cool Matt, yeah I havnt heard this so not sure I'll think to much about it.

way to much face time. came for the title not your face. thumbs down

Way overpriced
@@williamjoyal3553 your not lying. The die cast cars definitely were. But if your looking for a certain one and this is the place you find it. You'll probably spend it.. But the slot cars are a good price.. thanks for coming along, appreciate you watching
