Hobby Shops in Indiana, PA

“Over the last 2 years I've been getting back into the train hobby, since my divorce and my wife threw everything that I owned out. And Brett at hobby speed has been great to deal with. Their prices are fair. The customer service is excellent. I did buy from other places. Orange empire trains in California and the guy was such a BS artist said he was going to ship a train to me. Took over a month so hobby speed is now my main source for all my products”

“Michael's has so much awesome stuff!!!!! Sadly though, the prices are ridiculous. Even the items marked on sale are outrageously priced. Why?! I understand everyone is in the game to make a profit. But, holy cow! And then it dawned on me why I haven't stepped in a Michael's for years. I'm definitely not rich, by any means. But, when I go into Michael's, I'm a different person when I come out. Depressed. Upset. Frustrated. And confused, because I can't remember where I left the cardboard box that I must live in. That's how 'financially challenged' Michael's makes me feel. Heck, the price of something as simple as scissors makes me gasp in disbelief! I went in, excited to help my son find some type of foam for his project. He did get what he needed. Yet I walked out of that store feeling completely defeated.

I would've given Michael's only 2 stars because of the ruthless prices. But, I must admit that they have an impressive and vast selection of crafting/art products. That gave them 3 stars. Then, there was the sweetheart cashier that patiently answered our questions, helped me find a coupon online that helped reduce the damage to my wallet, and who stayed very professional, kind, understanding & calm when I neared the line of a panic attack, triggered by ticket shock. She didn't side with me and say that she thought the prices were crazy, too. But, she also didn't make me feel like less of a person bc the price almost put me on my butt, lol. She heard me out and offered to help me find that coupon. I wish I remembered her name, because she was fantastic all around . And maybe, just possibly, I'll visit that Michael's again, because of her.”
