WOW just look what Mike started.....it's a gameroom sign FRENZY. 
(Topic ID: 116740)
Thanks for the post. I picked one up last night. They had a cool Megatron (G1) sign too. For anyone with the Transformers game, would look sweet next to it.
I've never actually been to a Hobby Lobby. So they basically just sell signs? Seems like kind of a limited business model, but they seem to have a lot of stores, so I guess there is a big market for it.
Quoted from DarkWizard:Do they have anything else besides this one sign?
I'm not sure if you noticed the signs above my games while you were in my gameroom, but they came from HL. My wife picked them up one day.
Quoted from PinBallMagician:Yes. They have all types of metal and wooden signs for cars, sports, entertainment and other pop culture. Check out their website.
Mine include the same TZ one as Weir's picture, a mini version of a CFTBL, WOZ, and Mars Attacks movie posters, one that looks like a bingo card, etc.

They have all kinds of crap in there. The signs are just one of many types of items.

It's a hobby supply store - like Michaels. Scrapbooking junk, painting stuff, etc, etc.

They sell all kinds of hobby, crafts and home decor items.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:No pinball wizard signs left at the 1 I checked and the 3 others I had people check...poop. Got this though.

Yeah that is the arcade sign I got. It looks sweet over the game room door. Thanks to MikeO, I will have one of the Pinball Wizard signs too!

Did you check the Mt. Prospect store? I'm going to be over in that direction later, but I won't even bother if they don't have the pinball sign.
I have an extra pinball sign. I'll prob trade for a twilight zone sign. None at my store and none on line
Quoted from billsfanmd:Mine were in a front side clearance area. Not with the other metal signs
I checked multiple areas and also called the stores as well that werent as close.
I must have gotten lucky, they had 3 of them at my store in Scottsdale, I bought all 3 and already hung one in the Emporium.....bought extras in case my local buddies wanted them....
Quoted from Tseamans:Here's my score, most excited about the paper towel holder, I have been looking for something to hold paper towels since I'm always cleaning the glass!

OH I like that Amazing Stories, if I would have seen that one I would have gotten it also.
Quoted from DarkWizard:Pinball Wizard to the left.
Darn! And I need one that only points to the right.
I wish they sold replica gas pumps. They have lots of large gas station signs and a texaco globe light sign
Quoted from billsfanmd:I wish they sold replica gas pumps ...
This place has some amazing ones, but they are very pricey ...

I'm a sign guy from way back, and yes some are pretty neat at first glance but then I always remind myself that there all reproductions and I'd rather have an original then a repo any day. Plus there all massed produced and everybody has them already. I like the old school stuff but to each his own.

Quoted from Tseamans:I'm at IHOP outside the Hobby Lobby in Joliet, if I see any wizard signs do any of the non haters want me to get one?
I would take one
Thanks
Jim
Quoted from kcpinchip:Thanks MikeO! My wife picked up one on her way home from work last night.
The sign has found a temporary home
That vending machine is sweet!
I bought the arrow as well as the arcade and bowling sign. The arrow does light. I have the bowling sign and light on the wall next to my ball bowler. I think it looks pretty good.
Hobby lobby has some pretty good stuff and their prices are generally pretty good. It's fun to look through the sign section as you'll never know what you'll find.

Now you gotta LED that bad boy! 
Quoted from Tseamans:Sorry, I spent an hour looking and asked 3 ladies, and nothing.
Found a bunch of other awesome signs. Will post pics later.
Wish I would have seen this earlier, I got the last two earlier in the week, posted earlier in the thread about it. 
Quoted from gweempose:Now you gotta LED that bad boy!
The bulbs already have LEDs in them. It's funny you said that!
Be sure to install the Hobby Lobby app on your phone. There is always a 40% off one item coupon on there. Same for Michael's.
fyi
Hobby lobby needs to send the op a commission for all the stuff they sold this week because of this thread and for future sales to guys that would have never gone there but that will now frequent in the future.
