Hobby Shops in Oceanside, CA

“Been coming here for years and this place is great. The workers are very knowledgeable and give their honest opinions about cards. They also buy, but it depends on the market so you'll have to ask.”

“Gotta love the Lobby! I came in today for semi-custom framing. I'm very pleased with the price and the expected turnaround time. Hoping to get my pieces before Christmas. Thanks, Hobby Lobby!”

“We found this store by chance, and are so glad we did! My 11-year-old son decided he wanted to try Warhammer after watching a ton of videos, and we stumbled across this store while stopping at a nearby atm. Alex was super friendly and answered my son's MANY questions, going into the lore as well as different aspects of the game and model building. He has an incredible amount of knowledge, and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. He helped my son look at different kits and weigh out what route he wanted to go for his first purchase. He also informed us that we could build/paint a free figure and get a game intro for some hands-on experience. Unfortunately, the store was still waiting on a shipment of the free intro figures (and my son was still saving up his money), so we decided to come back again later. We made another stop into the store before the figures were replenished so my son and I could check things out, and again, Alex was friendly and helpful. On our third trip in (and after checking in via phone), we were finally able to paint our first figures! Alex was super apologetic that it took so long, but I couldn't hold the shipping problems against him. Even though it was really busy, he took the time to get us started on painting and really explained each step. He even had my younger daughter choose a figure to paint since she was there with us. While we worked on our painting, Alex made sure to check in and give us instructions between customers and was SO encouraging to my kids. My husband was also with us, and Alex answered all of his questions about building terrain. He was really transparent about what you need to get started and what could wait. He was never pushy about the product, just happy to share his knowledge and passion for the game. He made my kids feel amazing about their paint work, and they both left with what are now treasured game pieces. We also ended up purchasing a starter set so I could learn to build the pieces myself, and I look forward to playing the game as a family! We will definitely be back, and my son is looking forward to getting his own starter set very soon.”

“Hadn't been in Michael's for a while, but that's where I was able to find the yarn I was looking for. Self check out was very easy......can't believe they don't have a human cashier.”
