Default Hobby Lobby score

Flight Pack of 1/2A motors for $10.79 in the clearance section. That'll launch a lot of Mini Max flights this spring.

The box felt odd when I picked it up, like something had been removed from it. I've bought the 1/2A bulk packs before, but I don't remember them being so loosely packed. I opened it when I got to the car. Everything that was supposed to be there was present, so I'm happy.

I thought the same thing the first time I bought a 1/2A3-4 bulk pack.
24 "t" engines are pretty loose in the same box they use for 24 18mm engines.

That's cool. The HL's here only stock the standard A8 B6 & C6 engines. They consider 1/2 A's more of a mom & pop store specialty item.

No, no, 3 packs and in only 1 delay. Like a 3 pack of A8-3, B6-4, C6-5, D12-3 maybe once in a while a D12-5 or C6-0. Can't remember when I've seen anything other than the 18mm variety pack of 24.
