Junkyard Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you google Hobby Lobby Coupon you will get a 40% off coupon to use on any one item ! This can be done once per day! The local Hobby Lobby here carries tons of great tools and kits , I just bought a 40$ B-29 Kit for 24$. Its on anything including some of their upper end airbrushes and compressors. HUGE Thanks to my girlfriend who told me about this ! JYD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yup, imagine how awesome this was back when Hobby Lobby carried 1/32 scale Tamiya and other really nice kits (got a Tamy 1/32 F-4J for like $15 there once but that's another story). You can still get some good buys, but I think the days of getting the great kits at 40% off are gone. Unless someone new takes over their procurement and starts getting better selections again.

Junkyard Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Still a nice discount, they carry I-File stuff here. I intend on wearing them out on supplies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Don't think of it just for kits though as it can come in VERY handy for other stuff. I got an Iwata NEO with it two years ago and recently used another one when the tip went out (a $18 part normally) and the discount came in handy. It is what it is. One just has to shop smarter with it is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Kits, not so much anymore. Supplies on the other hand - mine has 72 Vallejo options, loads of Tamiya tape and their tools, and other useful things like blades and twist bits. My first ever 40% was used on a pair of Hasegawa Georges that I was able to order (back when they did that). Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyT Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) How do you use it? Just show it on a cell phone? Edited January 16, 2014 by JeffreyT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 How do you use it? Just show it on a cell phone? Yep! That's all you have to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You can also go to their web site, register your email address & name and they will send you one of those 40% coupons every week. Print if off and take it to the store. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Since Hobby Lobby has the 40% off coupon continually, I've been buying model building supplies there. File set, sanding tools, airbrush accessories, paints, and of course even several model kits. My next stop there will be for quality paintbrushes and more model paint; one bottle at a time!

mightymax Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Since when do they have a 40% off coupon? Is this new??? Max Bryant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sluggo2u Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Been going on quite a while. They also have 40-50% off modeling stuff, kits included quite often. I just bought an Iwata Neo for 41 bucks with the coupon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Since when do they have a 40% off coupon? Is this new??? :rofl:/> Since they stopped offering 50% off coupons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 HL has always had Coupons. Like it was stated use to be 50% off but it was less frequent, something like once a month. For about the last 2 years every week it's 40% off and it is every week...Coupon is good for one item only . I have bought 2 Air Brushes and a LOT of supplies with mine. I also bought a few kits but since they went to the basic stuff not so many... I email them a few times a year asking that they go back to Tamiya etc. but it has not helped. Maybe if more of us bomb them with emails they will go back to the higher end stuff... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Since when do they have a 40% off coupon? Is this new??? Max Bryant I got back into model building last Spring and discovered/started using the 40% off coupon ever since. And that was 7+ months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Junkyard Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Also know you can take your wife, Girlfriend , best friend ETC and literally use the coupon once per person per purchase. The same coupon is useable by multiple people on the same day so take a friend and load up on stuff. That's what I did, got a I-file touch glue set for about 8 bucks and some nice sand papers for about 4-5$ just by handing my phone to my friend and he can use the exact same coupon. It is a fantastic way to save cash, I plane on getting some paint next and I'll take a few friends and get 40% of each bottle or can with the same coupon handed to my buddy in line right behind me !

SonyKen Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Hobbylobby went from their 50% off any item in their weekly ad to 40% off more than 4 years ago. I know that I was printing out and using the 40% off for a while before my current job assignment and I will be where I am for 4 years in May. I am pretty sure it was at least a year prior to that. They use to have specials all over the store. 30% percent here, 40% there and sometimes 50% every now and then. But I haven't seen the weekly coupon move off the 40% off on one item in over two years. When I go to the Hobby Lobby back home, I always have a pocket full of coupons printed out. I have never had any plans to use all that I have printed out so I will play Secret Santa or Good Samaritan and give them out to anybody I see in the store. Especially if I catch someone browsing the plastic model section. They make the coupon so easy to get, everybody that shops at Hobby Lobby ought to be able to get a discount on at least one item, everytime they go there. Cheers!

habu2 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If I go and don't find anything I want/need I always give my coupon away as well. Most are thankful but sometimes they just look confused.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
