Hobby Shops in Queens, NY

“Talk about going back in time to all your childhood memories of puzzles, model airplanes, crafts, and my favorite toy soldiers. This place is the real deal warm to your heart, use your brain muscles. For old or young let's not forget how video games started old school!!! Loved this place!!!”

“Went here a few months ago and was blown away by the spaciousness! Definitely more expensive than the other arcades and be prepared to spend more money. However, the merch and plushies are official and licensed, as far as I know this is the only arcade in flushing that does not have bootlegs so that may explain the higher price tag. I will say, I really liked the Lunar New Year promo they had and they should definitely have similar events more often to offset the difficulty and high cost-but at the same time, it's still skill and luck based!Machines are definitely harder, but ask employees for help! The last time we went, we were trying to win a derpy looking dinosaur, and it was very difficult (claw was too weak and plushie was very big and chubby) and the worker helped us reposition. The app did glitch and take away 2 tries for us that we weren't able to play, but the same worker helped us (I never got her name but she had glasses!). She was very encouraging and sweet and helped us win it!”

“If you are into crafts, crochet or knitting this is your spot. The owner, Michelle, is so friendly and knowledgeable. The shop has better supplies and selection than a Michael's and the prices are very reasonable. Support independent family business!”

“a really cool coins and collectibles shop in astoria that has plenty of coins, paper currency, jewelry, antiques and other neat stuff for sale and buy with honest staff that will tell whats worth what. came on a friday afternoon to get some old usa coins and paper money from africa appraised . the coins value has slightly increased since my last visit to another coin place but the foreign paper money has not. i browsed around a bit after finding out my coins value might still keep me humble but what joy i had as soon as i saw a few old dc horror comics for save at 30 bucks each.. i enjoyed my visit and the gentleman who gave me a honest value report on my currency , told me to bring more stuff and get no pressure to buy or sell info. i will be back and see what my 2 dollar bills are worth.really cool shop in astoria that deserves another visit .”

“I've been on a retro gaming hunt recently. Sadly, there just are not the same amount of stores around that there were 20, 10, or even 5 years go. Went to PopnGames recently and this place is great. Prices were definitely fair, selection was pretty good and the owner was really nice. I went mainly to establish that this is a place I would want to come to for the future but also because I had a Super Nintendo arriving and I wanted at least one game to test it out. I left with two very fairly priced games. I will definately be back.”

“I went there to get my car tuned and was given an extremely affordable price. I had to get a few parts as well and those were inexpensive. I got my car back within 2 hours. Great service, and even better personalities from the staff. All questions asked were answered with detail for an easy understanding.”

“Went to get two canvas framed and had the pleasure to be assisted by Mariah. She was extremely professional, patient and knowledgeable. Looking forward to coming back soon.”
