“My son and I were in the Hartford area from NYC and stopped in at Craftec Hobbies on Saturday 7/27/24. They have really interesting vintage kits at great prices and the manager (sorry, forgot to catch your name!) was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and even willing to negotiate a bit on some kit prices. We ended up picking up three nice kits and he loaned us a tool we needed too! If you are interested in model kits, you need to make the trip to Craftec!!!”

“RC Madness is awesome. They've been around for years and know their stuff. Tons of kits, RTR and parts. Great staff, bunch of indoor and outdoors tracks. You just can't go wrong here. Chris is a stand up guy and will do whatever he can to keep you running and having fun. New to the hobby? Go rent a car and try it out. Great place.”
“Broke the rudder on my r.c. boat. I acquired the part , and brought it to Time Machine Hobby. I was kindly greeted when I entered, and was directed to the back to the store to find Wayne.Wayne was great, super informative, and fixed my boat no problem.As I waited, I went upstairs and saw their amazing model train set, slot car track, and crawler course. Very cool place.I will def go back to purchase my first r.c. plane!!”
“Guy has gotten alot more friendly over the past couple months. Still no complaints about the store, still a fun place to go. They are trying to bring Warhammer: Age of sigmar tournaments to the store more frequently. Also don't forget friday night magic for all you cardheads out there”
“Stopped by looking for crayons and a drawing back. Staff came by and asked if I needed help and quickly pointed me in the right direction. When they saw me looking at the books, I said I was looking for something with a car—the person helping me pulled out a drawing book with cars on it from where it was hiding on the shelf. Great save on what was a fussy kiddo.”
“Huge selection of single issues and collected editions (paperbacks, hardcovers, and omnibus books), plus tons of statues, figures, games, and trading card games and supplies. I go every year on Free Comic Book Day and then whenever I can otherwise! :)”
“Having a few hours to kill on my way to the airport, I chose this shop on a whim. I'm very glad I did. They have a phenomenal manga selection, one of the best I've ever seen. I was able to fill several holes in my collection. While the prices aren't exactly low, they are fair. Should I find myself in Connecticut again, I will be sure to stop by.”
“Was in the area and needed a few things. One register open which was having issues. Cashier said l could use the self checkout. I refused so she rang me out on the self checkout. I don't work at Michaels.... they're getting my $$
These companies are putting people out of jobs! Ridiculous corporate greed!”
“I can't tell you about much, but if you're in the market for yarn specifically; this is your ONLY stop. No one else will have the same massive size of selection other than online and you can't feel the yarn online, just saying”
“Warm atmosphere with good food and drinks. Came for a prerelease and had a great time. Great collection of packs and boxes and the people were very helpful. Barista was a fun role player with some fun drink names.”
