HobbyTown maintains supplies for a diverse variety of hobbies: trains, RC cars, plastic models,…read morerockets, board games, to name a few. The down side of this is that the selection within each category isn't vast. There are just two or three racks of rockets, two or three shelves of Tamiya model airplane kits, and a few shelves of plastic model car kits. At the end of the plastic airplane kits were a few classic balsa plane kits, which I haven't seen in ages. I asked if they had something I didn't see on the shelves. The guy working there looked it up on the computer, and said no. But didn't offer to order it for me. Still I did get one thing I wanted.

Everything is displayed quite well and spread out, making it easy to browse through each of the aisles to see what they have. Prices are fair and in line with the online retail market. They also offer disc resurfacing and console repairs as well! The store also specializes in trading card games like Pokemon and Magic. When I stopped by to explore the store, I met some really nice staff and customers. It felt like a great spot to shop or just hang out with friends who share the same hobbies. They got a little bit of everything and also host weekly card tournaments too! I got to witness a live Magic the Gathering event on my random visit, which was a fun experience and gave me a good feeling of nostalgia. I definitely will be coming back whenever I am in the area visiting from the city.

This is a very dangerous place to be in for my husband and I. We're here for one purpose and one…read morepurpose only...Gundam! They have good variety of kits and the prices were good especially when they have the 40% off sale. My husband will get out of here with arm full of them. Now, everytime we're here we always go straight to the aisle those kits are located in. We know our purpose and we stick to it. Until one day, I strayed away and decided to explore the other aisles and boy that was a huge mistake. I ended up with a cart full of mostly Hello Kitty stuff, sewing things and anything that I thought I needed (even if there's really need for it). I love that this place is a crafter, hobbyist and anything in between's paradise. I can get most of the thing here that I want and actually save money. My only complaint is that it can be hard at times to find associates that work here if you needed something locked to be opened or if you have any questions needed some answers. But other than that, this place can be the death of my bank account (ToT) and at the same time my paradise(^.^)

All I called for was to see if they have received shipment and if particular item is back in stock. "If we didn't have it yesterday we won't have it today, so truck didn't arrive is that all" Talk about rude ignorant non customer sales rep! This place needs to close! Long lines almost every weekend. Annoyed employees! Something here is what corporate needs to see of this location.

I cant understand why this isnt more popular. If you want to watch go on a friday and monday. Mom and pop shops like this are worth going off the beaten path to help support. I cant emphasize enough how genrous the owners are. For a car and a half hour of track time its only 8 bucks or 12 for a full hour. Take your kids. Girlfriends or the boys its a good place to be.

Everything is very well and competitively priced, compared to other card shops. The cashier helping me out, wasn't eyeballing me where ever I went, like I was going to steal something. But he did follow me helping me out with singles, a sealed items I was looking for. Overall A+ store, and a store with higher end yugioh singles... can't find a place like that.

I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. It's rare to find a shop with both such a great variety and such exceptional customer service.

Warmly greeted as I walked in, I was informed that the shop was under new ownership and to ask if I needed any help. I asked if they had any dollar boxes and was told where they were. Dollar boxes sorted by team, what could be better? Time flew by and I actually came back after my appointment to continue looking. Ended up buying over 100 cards! Lots of graded cards, vintage, and unopened boxes. They also had a large collection of signed memorabilia, Star Wars figures, Matchbox cars, and Starting Lineups. Store is still in the process of being "set-up", but it has plenty of inventory already out to keep you occupied. Prices were on par with most other shops I've visited. Employees were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back for sure.

The store looked well organized for the most part and they did not seem to be understaffed in any way. There were many employees around, but not one of them greeted us or even looked at us as we passed them. I even went into the picture frame area because I had a photo print that I was thinking about having matted and framed, but the gentleman behind the counter was laser focused on his computer screen, he did not even bother to look up. I looked around at the merchandise in this area for a bit longer and then proceeded to browse other areas, where we also encountered more employees who were too busy (not helping others) to look in our direction or acknowledge us. The planner that I came for was no where to be found even though the online information told me that it was in stock at this location(it even told us which aisle). I did not bother to approach any of the employees to ask for anything because they all seemed pretty unapproachable, and the opposite of friendly or ready to assist. I found a different planner that I felt would suffice. My daughter found a bunch of yarn skeins that she liked for a crochet project, and then we made our way to check out. The woman who was checking us out sarcastically and abruptly stated "Ya got a planner, now your life's gonna be perfectly organized" as she scanned it and placed it in a bag. She was bitter about something, and that was obvious, but why would she bring that to work? I awkwardly attempted to laugh, my daughter pinched me, and then I just thanked her and we left. We should have spent at least double what we spent, but nobody wanted to help us spend our money. It's too bad. I don't know why, but it seems that this Michaels has a dark cloud over it or something, because the folks who work here absolutely hate their jobs and it really shows.
