Now with event space for things like MTG, painting minis, and board games! What a wonderful little shop. I can't recommend them enough!

I enjoy meeting Rudy and Danielle at model shows and always have a great selection of model kits and tools ⚒️ not to mention reasonable prices! I also do business with them whether on their site or through EBay. It is always a pleasure doing business with them! So, if you’re ever in Kyle, Texas look them up! Tell them Dan sent you!

Edit: So, for the store's response to make sense I will point out that this review initially included a complaint about the way they had priced a product. I feel like the review was accurate and mostly positive, but for this one point. The store then reached out and didn't just offer me a refund, they agreed with me and refunded everyone who had ever purchased the product in question. This isn't customer service. This is so far above and beyond that I'm not sure what to call it. I'm humbled and amazed, and whole heartedly recommend them. I'm leaving the review, but cutting the comment about the pricing because it is not only out of date, it was probably something that should have been left to a private conversation in the first place.Now for your regularly scheduled review:First, let me say that this is an awesome store, with a great staff and probably the best selection of model/miniature painting products that I have ever seen. Hundreds of colors and products across numerous brands. Everything that I have thought that I might want, they have had.They also have a truly excellent staff. Very friendly and helpful, and they are extremely active in the local hobby community. I hope that they continue to grow and build their community, and I think most people who are into what they offer are going to come away very happy.Further, the search function on their website is absolutely the best. I've never ordered from it directly, but often search for stuff before going into the store, and it's always been able to accurately tell me if it's in stock. Even individual paint colors, which I've never seen and other store do.Their tabletop gaming selection is a touch limited, but well-rounded, and if you're a painter or someone more into modeling, I suspect it's a bit of a paradise.I'm still new to their little community, but I've never had a bad experience. It's a great store, and a truly amazing one if you take the reality of its location in a smaller town outside of the usual shopping areas into account.It's clearly a business of passion by people who really care about the hobby, the area, and the local scene, and they deserve all of the success in the world.

These folks were great to deal with, especially since I had never shopped with them before. They had TAMIYA Lacquer paints in bottles which is very hard to find. It is the ideal choice for small detail work after you have used the Tamiya Lacquer in the spray can for the larger areas. In closing, they have a great selection of products and provide great customer service which I have not found to be the case in dealing with larger distributors.

A delightful hobby shop that has made an impressive use of their space! One of the only places you can find Mr. Color products as well. There is an extensive collection of card games, board games, model kits, painting accessories, etc. A great selection for a local, family-owned shop!

Danielle was so welcoming and helped us find a great game for our family. They have a large selection of games of varying levels. Their community events look fun too. I haven't gone to any yet, but I'm excited to check them out. So glad we found this place! I'll definitely be coming back to expand my board game collection.

I moved to the area last spring and have been looking for a great hobby shop since. I've definitely found it in LionHeart! I stopped in for a few paints and supplies to finish up a model I'm working on. And while they didn't have a few of the products I was looking for (some specific Mr. Color bottles and polishing compound for a canopy), Danielle and Rudy both talked with me extensively to find out what my needs were and what they might have as an alternative. They were excited about their shop and about our shared hobby and immediately made me feel like an old friend. I ended up buying a few paints that I needed to get past my current choke point and Danielle put in an order with her supplier for the rest. They also told me about their Build and Bull sessions on Saturdays and the upcoming IPMS Nats this year in San Marcos. Even though they didn't have a few of the exact products I was looking for (I'm very particular) they have an amazing selection and they worked really hard to get me what I needed. I will absolutely be back.

Not only is it a well stocked hobby store but they organize events for like minded hobbyists to get together. I have been attending Build and Bull sessions and thoroughly enjoy meeting local people doing the same. Great friendly staff.

If you are a hobbyist who enjoys modeling, board games, wargaming, role-playing games, or need a wide array of paints, tools, and other accessories, LionHeart Hobby is the place for you! The owners, Rudy and Danielle, are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about your hobby needs. They also have an outstanding online store that you can leverage. I love to go in to the store sometimes just to put a smile on my face and visit, but then I always end up buying something. Lol!

Don't let the size of this shop fool you. On the board game side of the business, they have a strong curated collection suiting different ages. As a dad, I am always looking for fun cooperative alternatives to "screen time". If you don't find something you're looking for, they can probably order it for you given they have numerous vendor relationships. Support this local business and kind management team.

Incredible community shop with great staff. Came in as a total novice and got some great advice for my first couple of builds. Great prices and selections overall, and always worth the drive down from Austin.
