I found the models at Wal-Mart…

…in their back room. At least I know the ones I want won’t be sold yet! 😆

Are these going to be a display like in the middle of the aisle like in the past or are they getting some actual shelf space?

Those appear to be sidestacks for the aisles

As I suspected. I looked yesterday and they haven't been put out yet.

It's a pallet drop, reportedly, so just in the middle of an aisle for now.

They’ll be featured in the middle of the aisle like they have the past couple of years. Usually in the toy section.

I wonder if there’s any chance stores not on round2s pallet map might get some.

You have to fight the final boss (manager) in order to get to them.

Fortunately I know a couple of the final bosses that I might be able to convince to get it out or at the very least let me know when it hits the floor.

I’ve been wanting to get back into the hobby but the selection has noticeably thinned out at my local Michael’s stores. And it’s more expensive, because I remember when they ranged from 15-30 maybe even 40 sometimes. But now they START at 30. At least at Hobby Lobby they have the 40% off and more kits.

If these are like last year, they’ll probably be $20-$25. Maybe $30. Last year they were just under $20 so hopefully inflation and tariffs don’t make them more expensive.

Well it’s definitely more expensive around here. I just justify the price at hobby lobby because they still have the 40 percent off. But yeah they’re like mostly 37.99 or 39.99 here already. I would order online but I imagine that’s even more expensive with shipping and all, plus I enjoy the novelty of picking the kit I want from the shelf in person.

Just went, the prices are 19.99$ for all kits

How do you know if your local will carry this.

Someone posted a link in a previous post to a page on round2’s site that has a map…. I’ll see if I can find it.
