Hobby Shops near Princeton, NJ

“Nice staff, clean well stocked store. Ordered balloons ahead and they were ready when I got there for pickup. Note on balloons - I’d purchase them on the day of your event. A lot of the helium balloons deflated within minutes to hours. Regular balloons were mid air day 2 and on the floor day 3. Round 1st birthday balloon, was already deflated when I picked up my order (they refilled it but an hour later it was deflating again). Gold foil balloons stayed in great shape and are still up in the air day 3.”

“I like this shop. You can find all kinds of little craft supplies there. I bought metal buttons for clothes, some cake making supplies, really cute Halloween decorations and strings of lights, beautiful artificial flowers.”

“This tiny game store is located right across the Panera inside the mall. With a selection of Warhammer, TCG’s, Battletech, D&D etc. products to browse. They even have 3D printers which weren’t in use while I was in store but peaked my interest.

This store has some potential. I understand it’s a new place, but some organization and polish would really flesh this store out. I think they should capitalize on its accessibility as well. Being in a mall is a great spot to get new and younger people into the hobby space.

I don’t see myself returning here too much unless I’m in the area. Though their signage about 3D printing stl files and even heroforge minis might have me come back to try it out in the future.”

“Just made my first visit to Trains & Things, and am glad I finally did. The store is all O and Standard Gauge and is full of beautiful trains and accessories. There's a lot of new and used. I found a prewar Lionel 259 locomotive with tender, and a new Woodland Scenics item all for a great price. Even though the store was busy, the owner ran the train on the test track. For me, this says a lot because there were also customers looking over big ticket items. Don't be surprised if he knocks a little off the price without you asking. I'll be back for sure.”

“Trenton Stamp and Coin is a reputable Coin shop that I had the pleasure to work with on my collection of proof sets. Tom, one of the owners was fair with what I bought as well as had some very pertinent information about my gold coin. I trust his opinion and would not hesitate to sell some items to them, knowing that he would be fair and honest about it's value. As with any collection, please do your homework before you go in...because they are extremely knowledgeable about this business. They certainly have a great selection of items to purchase if you choose.”
