HobbyTown in Vancouver is a local hobby store with a fantastic selection of goods. It offers a small town feel with a big city selection, including RC cars, replacement parts, and hop-up parts for brands like Traxxas, Arrma, and Losi. The store keeps a nice selection of 10th scale crawlers, bashers, drift cars, and touring cars, as well as larger scales and 1/24 scale crawlers. It also has the best stock in gunpla model kits in Vancouver. The people are very nice, knowledgeable, and patient, providing great service. While one reviewer found the selection solid but not massive, many recommend the store for its amazing experience, great service, and as a place to find something to build with kids. It is definitely worth a stop.
I had badly needed some tamiya plastic cement and after visiting two different hobby lobbys and a Michaels I popped up here and they had everything I needed as well as some vallejo model air paints and ak interactive fx enamel washes that I had also picked up. Staff were also super nice and helpful.
