“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.”

“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.”
“Classic Comic book shop. If you go in with kids please check to make sure they aren't staring at stuff you don't want them to stare at. Everything is either too sexy, too creepy or too weird. Whatever happened to safe and fun comics? That's not Bob's fault though. They regulated the FREE COMIC BOOK DAY again restricted us to only 2 per person. Big bummer! I go there to Bob's pretty much every year for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!”
“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! :)”
“I noticed that they have switched from using plastic bags to paper bags for packaging. This eco-friendly change shows their commitment to sustainability, which I really appreciate.”
“Hobby lobby is one of my favorites places! I go there so often it’s crazy! I love the wide variety they have!! Right now they have 4th of July large selection and it’s so adorable!”
“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!”
“Great store with a a very well stocked assortment of cards and tabletop games. Their MtG singles is something to behold. Cases, binders, and drawers filled with sets both new and old. Well worth the visit!”
“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!!!”

“Owner is friendly, and knowledgeable. Prices were good, even better than Amazon and some other online, plus you get that tactile feedback you only get in person and can compare different versions of some effects ... SUPPORT one of the LAST brick and mortar shops before it's too late!! You can try to save $5 with a corporation or you can go where someone cares and knows about magic.?♂️??? And no pressure to buy like one of the old Boston dealers who will remain nameless...”
“I don’t know what these reviewers are talking about that had a negative experience here. We drive an hour and a half for their great selection and wonderful customer service. The owner is a sweet guy who remembers his clients, and we’ve only ever been greeted with smiles. The prices are exactly where they should be, and they also have the Pokémon cards, magic cards, and warhammer things that we’re looking for! Go in and see for yourself how great this store is!”
“They have a lot of action figures and other collectables not to metion amazing service They don’t have the most Pokémon But still a lot of good ones they have packs in a very good amount of Cards and collectibles”
“I've had a number of original oil paintings framed here and the craftsmanship has been great. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Don't forget to use a coupon because the retail price on custom frames is very high.”
“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.”
