Me and the kids love Hobby Lobby. We take full advantage of the 40% coupon every time! About a month ago they started there clearance here. Like kids in a candy factory, we walked out with a half basket of rockets, paint, rubberband planes, pine car derby kits, etc. The rockets were $4.74 ea. (Super nova, expedition and Comanche) everything else around a $1. We've been having pine car races with engines taped on the back. You talk about FUN (Don't worry we're under adult supervision at all times)!! Also, on the balsa at the HL's around here they don't rotate their stock so sometimes on the bottom it's marked cheaper. And the pieces that are kind of busted on one end, they'll practically give it away if you ask. Ex. 3/16x6x36" $0.50 is hard to beat. I just realized my post was getting kinda long. Sorry!
