I showed the man in the store a broken piece of wood. I watched him throw it in the trash I went and picked it out of the trash and asked him at the same time if I could have it. He said no he was just storing it there. Hobby store owners complain about mail order and in fact they really don't want to support a local customer.

Great selection of plastic kits, RC, trains, rockets, Gundom and supplies. I visit every time I'm in the area.

Needs more organization. Very messy.

10/10 hobby shop, the best for literally miles around; they sell stuff for RC cars, Gunpla (even new ones and PGs), model trains, all the modeling tools you could need, and modeling paints from Tamiya, Vallejo, Mr. Color, and a small selection of others like AK or citadel. The ONLY thing I could possibly ask for is that they stock some of the Mr. Hobby aqueous line, but given that they sell Tamiya, it’s not an issue. But seriously, visit this place it’s awesome, so few places in PA sell such a selection of hobby supplies

If you like to build, fly, float, race or just like to feel like Harry Potter shopping for supplies for the first time..this is your store. Depth of inventory, scope of disciplines and supplies. It's a mind boggling place. Always something new to discover, do yourself a favor and if you think you're going to build it, come here first and have a look around.

Live in Minnesota and I have purchased 2 bachmann train sets and a locomotive from these guys via Walmart website. Everything has always arrived quickly and works great. Overland below being my most recent. Will purchase more when I get more cash lol. Maybe a Christmas train for the tree this year ?

After a 30-year hiatus, I decided to return to scale modeling last year. Most hobby stores have long closed, but realized that this one was still in operation, and is close enough. It's become my go-to for my hobby. If you (like me) remember what a real hobby store looks like, you know the real thing when you see it. This is that place. It doesn't have shelf of model kits, it has a couple aisles, with shelves separated by category (planes/armor, cars, ships/scifi). Also has a large selection of paints, supplies, specialty items, etc. Can't speak to the RR or RC sections, but they appear to be as well stocked as the model section. Prices are a little more than what you would pay online, but I think that it's worth it to see/touch what you're purchasing and compare with other things. Also think that it's worth it to support a store that still operates a brick/mortar in conjunction with online sales. They may not have *absolutely everything* that I need for my hobby, but they surely have most of it. If you're somewhat local, or are passing through the area, and remember what a hobby store was, stop by. Once you enter, that certain hobby store smell will hit you...if you remember what that smell is, you'll get it.

If I could write this review with NO stars I would. I bought what was clearly listed in description and in photographs by them on Amazon, a (4 pack) of Excel 7 inch plastic clamps. I was sent a 2-pack. Sent the vender a message via Amazon that I was shorted. Would you another 2-pack to make it 4 clamps as per the advertised post or shall I send it back for a refund and buy from a different vender. Would you honor the ad? The response was you got what you ordered it is a 2 pack only, send it back for a refund. I have purchased items from this vender via Amazon before, no issues. But, to not honor the ad after I sent it to them as proof, and provide an actual 4 pack meaning 4 clamps is bad business and they shall not have mine .

Use caution here. I paid nearly 500 bucks for a Tamiya Grand Hauler through Amazon from this seller on July 5. I've still not received the item though it allegedly shipped the 12th and was to arrive the 17. THE ONLY TRACKING INFO re a shipment from Pennsylvania to Washington State, is that the carrier picked up the item. I've reported to the seller through Amazon and was assured they (the seller) would remedy with UPS. I received no followup, but because the transaction records a tracking number I'm still awaiting delivery if the original shipment. Then after another contact with seller I was informed by seller that a replacement item would be sent. I have not received the original shipment or the replacement item, nor any further tracking info. UPS claim system reports this item, using the tracking number provided originally, was never received by UPS.So, could my item still arrive? I suppose, but this whole transaction and process is suspicious and should cause others to shop elsewhere.I will follow up if the item does finally arrive or whenever Amazon will allow me to begin the refund process. I'm not holding my breath.Ed S.So I did finally get a refund, but something was right here.

Why even have a brick and mortar store just have a warehouse the last few times I was there the employees just stare at you like you shouldn’t be there the entire time no customer service what so ever ended up driving to Allentown to the actual Warhammer store to get some help which is sad because back when they were on grosser road I used to play in the basement all the time and the staff was amazing

This place is therapy for me, it is like the old time hobby shops I visited as a kid that have sadly vanished. They have a wide variety of models, a great paint section including Valejo, AK, Citadel, Model Painter, Mr Model, etc. The staff were very friendly and the prices were reasonable for retail. I don't know why there are not more reviews here, this place is a gem. I drive the hour gladly to be a kid again.

Great selection and tons of stuff! I assume it was the owner behind the counter, didnt seem like he wanted to answer questions or help his customers. The girl who rang me up at the register was very helpful and pleasant, but dont disturb the younger guy behind the counter

I've never rated a hobbie shop, but this place seemed really neat. It's located right in the downtown and was walkable from the Colebrookdale railroad. There are several aisles of model train accessories, scenery, train sets and tracks of several different scale types. The prices seemed in line/a tad higher than most places I've shopped. They had an area with Thomas trains and a small end cap with a Thomas wooden train set kept my youngest occupied while we checked out the rest of their offering.They had a couple aisles of models - ships, military planes, cars etc., rocket sets, RC cars, supplies like paint and tools and some games like Warhammer which I'm not familiar with at all. I enjoyed stepping back in time while I walked around and love it that small operations like this are still around. We bought some Thomas items that were fairly priced and are happy with them.Give these guys a look if your in the area and support small businesses!
