“Great retro game spot to visit in the PNW! My wife and I have been game hunting up and down Oregon and Washington traveling all the way up from Central California. We Stopped by this place and grabbed some amazing items, Super C on NES CIB. Flintstones on SNES boxed for the wife, and even a box for Batman Returns SNES. They even worked out a fair deal based on condition and gave me a plastic cover to protect the box. We collectors remember the little things! Before I left I had my eye on a boxed copy of Fire N Ice for NES, a definite grail! On our way out leaving the state I had to stop by the store again and grab it. It was a great deal especially compared to current comps. I’d definitely come back again if I’m back in the area!”
“One of the best Pokemon stores I’ve been to. Really big space with a lot of different sets to buy singles from. Staff is friendly and patient. Prices are not that bad compared to online. I’m happy to pay a little more to support a local store.”
“Absolutely love this bookstore!! The kids area is especially great - my kids could play here forever and love discovering new books. The staff is super kind and helpful, especially Laurie who helped us when we had an issue with our Independent Bookstore Day prize. The cookbook area is my personal favorite but there is always something new to find here.”
“I went to the store today. James was the only one who greeted me and also helped me check out. He was friendly and helpful. Thank you, James, for your help. Wishing you and your company a Merry Christmas ??”
“I stopped here while visiting Seattle in July 2022, and it was such a perfect little store. They sold cute little plush donuts and pastries at a reasonable price. Definitely a must do!!!”

“I LOVE this store. The owners are so sweet and kind! When I accidentally lost a few of my balloons and went back, they refilled and gave me new ones and didn’t even charge me for it! The shop has a wide assortment of party supplies and has a great selection of balloons. Truly such a happy store. Support small businesses like these - they deserve everything. :)”

“This location is on the smaller side, but they had some games I had been searching for, and the staff was very friendly over the phone in assisting me to find particular games.”

“Fun place to find different types of toys. Sure you can scour amazon but seeing everything in person and a packed variety of puzzles, games, toys, Legos, stuffies, makes you think about what you dont see when scouring the Internet for toys.”
“Came in for the first time today for two models specifically. The staff was super kind and helpful and took his time to show me where specific sets were located. I’m definitely returning soon”
“We had such a positive experience here. We came for my baby's 2nd birthday, and the employees really made it special with the attention and care they showed us through the whole experience. Thank you!”
“There's a great variety of new and used children's toys and clothing, some toys are out on display and for kids to play with. There's a consignment/donation option as well, with potential for store credit. Check out their Instagram for details.
Prices are sometimes cheaper than a regular store, but often in the same range. Is it worth it? If you want to support a local small business, recycle good clothing, and get many things that are overall better quality (or vintage) for a similar price to what you might spend at a department store, then I'd say why not?
Really friendly as well.”
“The store is so well organized and easy to search, the ladies at the front desk were so sweet and helpful ? my daughter enjoyed so much all the little details she received (chocolates, draw, sticker, smiles and good vibes) ?”
“I visited here for a gift for my kids while visiting Seattle, and I was very pleased with the options. The shop owner greeted me as I walked in and was very helpful in helping me to find a great toddler shirt for my son. I was surprised how hard it was to find a toddler shirt in the area, but this store had both a decent variety as well as cute options. I left very pleased with my purchase and my son wears his Seattle shirt as often as he can! I highly recommend this store.”

“Visited this store with my son while on vacation.... Employees were great and store had a great selection. Even had a sale area......will visit again and highly recommend.”
“Lego lovers don’t hesitate to come by and immerse yourself in fun! Plenty of sets, new and old, to choose from. Although the layout is crowded, the prices are the best in the area. There is a table full of pieces to fill a bag at reasonable prices. Staff members are kind and helpful.”
“I have a large scale Walkera Helicopter that recently developed an electrical issue. However, when I tried to troubleshoot the problem, I ended up with two possible causes but was unable to prove which it was, as when one component was removed from the system, the issue disappeared, but the same thing happened when the other component was removed from the system. I researched vendors in my area and I liked the sound of Hobby Town the best, as they seemed to have more models in stock than most others and a greater on hand selection of parts as well! My intent was to see if they had both parts in stock and to price them. When I got there, I was immediately approached by a salesman who was extremely friendly and helpful and who spent a considerable time with me and had much technical expirience. He was very patient with me and answered all my questions. I was so impressed with his enthusiasm that I decided to return in a week and purchase another Helicopter from him! I spent about an hour with this man and I learned a great deal from him. I had a really enjoyable and informative time there and as soon as I got home, I employed a couple of his suggestions and was able to solve my Helicopter problem post haste! And it works excellently! From the places I researched, I'm most impressed with Hobby Town! I would give them ten stars, if I could! I now consider Hobby Town to be my place to go to and depend on and I will recommend them to other hobbiests that I associate with, without hesitation!
Thanks, HobbyTown! You guys were great! I hope this review helps your business grow and you can display a greater selection of kits and replacement parts in the future!
Again, thanks for your help and happy flights or drives or water sports.
With gratitude and admiration:

“Bought Panini Contenders 2023 in search of CJ Stroud rookie anything LOL. Just got base rookie though. No autograph's, got 3 memorabilia card out of 5 blaster packs. Even though I seen on YouTube people opening Blaster packs got better than me. Was worth the stop at GameStop ? Service was on point, willingness to help everyone. Great prices on any merchandise, and easy to find.”
“Just wanted to say I love your products. Hours of enjoyment and very intricate detailed models. Metal Earth rocks. Any chance you all will host an event in Seattle? It's hard to find other metal earthers”
“Had a delightful conversation with the people working there about the tarot deck I picked out. Friendly and helpful, but not super in my face about it, which I always appreciate.”

“There are strict business. I like him that how to do proper business. He checked my driving license before bought the game. There is a good customer service. I prefer to go and buy games any system.”
“This is an outstanding store for finding toys for kids of all ages and abilities, engaging books, and sensory integrative products to promote learning. Perhaps because I’m a retired occupational therapist, I was especially impressed by the variety of items for sensory integration. Pediatric OTs and special ed teachers, in particular, would love this store, which has something for everyone. If I was a kid, this would be one of my favorite stores because I love to learn while having fun.
A bonus is complimentary gift wrapping. Each of my purchases were beautifully wrapped. Free of charge! Can’t beat that.
It’s located in The Landing in Renton. The staff are helpful and friendly. Teachers get a discount. I highly recommend Learning Express.”
