Hobby Shops in Manchester, CT

“I always visit this store when I am town. Selection is fantastic and the customer service is excellent. I have visited hundreds of game stores across the country and this is by far my favorite.”

“A wonderful toy store full of amazing games & toys! If you are old enough to remember Toys'r'us then you know what it's like, but this is way better. For one, many of the toys are better quality. For another, a much better set of choices. For example, I like the marble coaster toy Gravitrax (yeah, yeah I know it's meant for kids :-P ). I saw so many expansions there that I had never seen before! It was awesome!They also have more grown up toys like R/C airplanes, boats, etc. They have model rockets!What they don't have are more serious board games like Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Unmatched, etc. Those are across the street at the Portal, which has the same owner as the time machine.I strongly recommend going to the Time Machine for your toy and game needs!”

“What a great experience, if expensive. Went to Michael's because they had 70% off the frames. Well it's 70% off just the frame. It's not 70% off the labor to frame the piece or the glass or the mounting or that sort of thing. Having said that though we were helped by a lovely woman who looked at what we were framing and offered up the exact right frame. I mean we would not have been able to find that in all those frames so she was really helpful. And she helped us with the price and it turned out to be fairly expensive but because I got points on my card I got to buy some new Christmas decorations! Michaels is really a nice store and the people who work there are wonderful. Merry Christmas And Happy New Year to Michaels and all the people who work there! Oh the artwork we had framed was a Christmas present and it was very well received!”

“Super neat store, loved the variety. The figure aisles were my bread and butter; was hoping to see some more popup parade figures but overall fantastic selection! Had an extensive funko section as well. Will 100% be on my list of places to go when i visit CT again”
