I recently rediscovered my childhood love of R/C Vehicles and wanted to jump back into the hobby…read more Only problem is there are no R/C Hobby Stores close to where I live in Oakland in Western Alameda County (Albany down south through San Lorenzo). So I've been visiting all the 'local' shops, which means a 30+ min drive to cities to San Jose, Livermore, Antioch. and Benicia. It was an early weekday AM drive to Benicia that brought me to RPP Hobby. I had emailed with the new owner, Nick Degnan, a few times; but wanted to check out his shop. As the new owner of RPP, Nick is renovating the new store space. It's definitely a work in progress, but I will keep visiting to ensure Nick and RPP succeed. Nick was very friendly and answered every question I threw at him. I ended up buying some parts for my Traxxas TRX-4; some had to be shipped and the process was painless. Look forward to visiting Nick and RPP again!

They say it's Halloween everyday in SF but I also say it's always Halloween on Instagram, X, TikTok , YouTube and Instagram along with every other digital platform where you can see performative characters who do it for fun and some for pay. You will see all kinds of people changing their true character form into a digital platform character serving another role and identity even as an avatar. This has become the normal in SF and it's also become a lifestyle where now stores are embracing it. There is a place in Japan Center Mall where you can escape from reality into fantasy. It's called the Animon Life. Walking inside Japan Center West Mall I landed inside Animon Life. Inside you will see lots of characters from the land of the rising sun and the mobile gaming world and the anime world. Usually most you will find are not much of the mainstream characters. You will also find pixel pins and blind toy boxes. This to some is also a hobby store. They have lots of different types of merchandise you can give as gifts. They have lots of stationaries and novelties. Don't be surprised to see customers in cosplay costumes shopping inside Animon Life. This is the place for the party people to escape from the day to day reality and create your own fantasy. Some post on Instagram some post on "X"some to "flex "some do it for the community some for fun and some for the "checks"some have good content some content is like watching drama filled car "wrecks" Go to Japan Center with the cool "Don Juan "find stores which carries "Pokémon "and also get a "Japanese pan" and then visit "Animon"

The IMIM store is the retail storefront face of Hobby Engineering and is owned/run by Al…read more Some background : I started going to Hobby Engineering when he was located in Millbrae on El Camino. Got a PIC programer and some other various things. After he moved to the current location thats closer to the airport I continue to buy things from him, usually emergencies when I'm short a part or have a rush on something. Hobby Engineering has a searchable website so you can see what he has in stock. The IMIM store hours are what I would nicely say Quasi-Predictable. He's basically running two businesses at the same time by himself and most business is through the mail-order/warehouse side of things however you can really tell he wants to have a storefront. I know currently he's trying for regular Saturday hours but its always best to read the website instructions. When I need something I check the website, then I call to see when he'll be around. If I'm in a rush after confirming he'll be there I'll place the order online and pay for it as a Will-Call and swing by. He has also been incredible in the past and met me at weird or late hours to pick something up. The IMIM store itself is on the second floor and he's making good progress on it as of my last visit. Quite a bit of hobby-related stuff on the shelves to browse. His speciality seems to be Robotics but a lot of general model making supplies around too. Not some much on display for general electronics but the warehouse is just downstairs so if you know he has it in stock and he doesn't have bunches of customers upstairs he has no issues grabbing parts from the warehouse. I have to reiterate, you need to read the website. Local store. One person. Hard to cover everything by himself. My hope ( and I'm sure Al's ) is that the storefront gets enough traction to warrant an employee. He's got a bunch of space and a lot of possibility.

Realizing that the store had some idiosyncratic operating procedures, I called the number on the web site. The person who answered was positively discouraging of a visit. He wanted to know what I was working on, and told me that he didn't really have any stock out to look at. I suspect that this is really a mail-order business, and references to it as a retail outlet are misinformed It would be nice if the owner changed his website to reflect that fact.
