 :)  Has anyone bought one of the new Suburbans at a Hobby Lobby or Michaels ?

Hi John!  I haven't bought one yet but from the discussion over on the Spotlight Hobbies message board it sounds like they go together fairly easy.  If you have built any of Revell's 60's Chevy pickups, it is said that they go together well as does the Suburban which is based on those pickups.  Sounds like a really cool kit that would be a great tow vehicle for a race car.  gb

 :)  Thanks, Greg.   What I really should have asked, I guess, is has anyone been able to buy one at HL or Michaels.  None have arrived at my stores as far as I can tell.  I have checked several times.

I have enjoyed building two of those series of trucks, and have a third one not yet started.  Thought I would complement my collection with the  suburban  but so far have not found one on a shelf.

Some years back when the midgets came out,  my HL never got  any, as I recall.

 :)  I tried again yesterday for one.  They don't have them.

Are they not supposed to get them ?  Does anyone know ?  I had rather not pay full price at Hobbytown.  Since I don' t need one to start with.  lol

 :)  Muss ain't.

I think I will let that one go.  I have several kits left, including a Red's Orchard truck.  And I am not in much of a building mood right now anyway.
