I stopped into Hobby Lobby and found that some of the Vallejo Model Color paints were on sale. They only carry part of the line about 90 to 100 colors. About a third was marked down from $2.99 USD to $1.79 USD. So instead of just one at 40% off I bought 8. Not sure about other locations. |

Thanks for the tip! My wife and I live about a mile away from our local Hobby Lobby, so there's no reason not to stop by and see. |

I had no idea Hobby Lobby carried Vallejo! How the hell could I have missed that? |

Hobby Lobby does sales all the time so that doesn't necessarily mean a close-out. Their craft paints get deeply discounted at least once a month or so and HL is my go-to store for Ceramcoat paints. The HL stores in my area have a special section for clearance items, hopefully the paints don't get moved there  Dave |

I went to my local HL, here is Birmingham (Alabama) yesterday and they are on sale! Not all of them, mind you but I picked up one of almost everything on sale. About 12 or so bottles. As I'm getting back into painting minis after being out for a while, this post was VERY helpful!!! Thank you for taking the time to inform us all. I also found out on here that I can remove the top to put something inside the bottle to help mix the paint. The small shot I use to weight my model railroad stuff was too big to fit in the bottles. I purchased some really small glass beads and was going to put them in there, but now I don't have to. I can just use cheap glass marbles from the dollar store! LOVE this site! LOTS of good stuff on here. In the not too distant future I will be seeking help acquiring 15mm ACW figs and not I know where to come! There are not a lot of historical gamers down here. Thanks again Micman! |

Checked one of my local stores today and 50% of the colors were on sale at $1.79 USD. |

Thanks, Micman! Everytime my wife and I go there, I print off my little 40% off one item coupon and get one bottle of paint. Picked up 16 of them yesterday, thanks to you! |

Update as of Sat. Jan. 30th, here in Michigan the items are on a clearance sale at the $1.79 USD price. The tags for these items/colors are marked with a "D", for discontinued. So you have not missed the weekly ad, the price is still on but you gotta get'em while they got'em! |

Hobby Lobby is so far away from me that the cost of gas exceeds the savings on paint. Thanks, though. |

Sale is still going on. I grabbed lots of great colors today. |
