I paint and detail 1/25th scale model cars. They have a good selection of kits to choose from. They carry quite a lot of paint but they aren’t well organized. A lot of them are just thrown on the bottom shelves and it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for. They do carry a decent selection of modeling tools but they don’t restock the shelves very often. I would rather buy locally and pay a little more but I’m often forced to buy what I need online. By keeping the section fully stocked they would increase their business. I checked their main competitor and Hobbytown runs circles around them. It would be nice to see the department expanded.
Whether looking for a new hobby, getting the basics or getting deep into modeling, RC racing, Gundam or other hobbies you will find tools, kits, accessories and enthusiastic help. Several communities have formed at this and other central Virginia HobbyTowns.
Is a great store for adults with RC/train/model hobbies. But they do not want kids in their store. Also if you’re not buying or upgrading a $700 RC car, than you’re not worth their time. I bought a $150 RC car from this store a year ago for my son. Came in looking for a charger for it. But was shunned because my $150 RC isn’t worth upgrading to a better battery type. Was offered a charger and adapter that would’ve been $45 when Amazon had several options from $13-20. I was ok spending extra at a local, brick and mortar store but the belittling because my 7 and 12 year olds don’t have better RC cars than the $150 ones turned me away. The cashier watched my kids like a hawk, waiting for one of them to break their adult hobby store rules. They did and were told to stop stretching squeeze/stretchy toys.
My kids playing with their $150 RCs could turn in to a hobby where we start buying the more expensive better quality ones. But we won’t be returning here to buy them.
Great store! Very pleasant shopping experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. I found everything I needed plus stuff I didn’t know I needed. 😊👍 …
Bought a model and a nipper tool, model selection is great, the staff member working the register was nice, attentive and she answered all questions I had however, another staff member who was an elderly gentleman told my wife she couldn't be in the store with a stroller even though my 8 month old son was in it and with me. My wife and I are not thieves but for her to be profiled ruined the at first wonderful experience we were having, the store is beautiful and caters to a hobbyist needs but ultimately made my family feel unwelcomed.
Went here to find present for grandson
Everyone very helpful from finding things in store to advising choices for age to skill level!
Good for them!!😜😉👍🏼 I left happy after spending twice as much as I intended lol
(Worth the trip vs using mail order!!
This time my experience was totally different. The staff were very helpful and informative and got me exactly what I wanted and needed. Not bad Hobby Town way to step it up
Went in looking for d&d books. Small section, handful of books, priced twice the normal cost. Very expensive. Good selection of paints and models, but bring your wallet prepared to spend more than you really need.
