I had to rearrange my vacation and rearrange a hunt so that I could be here to accept the package. I find out they gave me somebody else's tracking number and when I contacted them about it their response was it was an honest mistake. This is about as unprofessional as you can get. Providing someone with the correct tracking number after a large purchase is not rocket science. Time for me to move onto another distributor that can handle shipping without huge mistakes and take responsibly for the mistakes they do make.

On November 11, 2025 I ordered 10 boxes of CD storage. These shipped and arrived promptly. On…read moreJanuary 6th of this year I ordered 20 more boxes. The website reported the items were back-ordered, but would be "available" or shipped on the 8th. On January 20th I filed a case with Paypal, as there was no communication since the 6th of that month. My boxes shipped promptly then on the 23rd. BCW requested, via PayPal, that I cancel my case, which I did. I commented then it would behoove BCW to alert customers when items are late and they cannot honor what the website reports as in stock, or as arriving in a couple of days. Regardless, last week I decided to give them another chance and ordered 20 more CD storage boxes I was emailed by "Amber" that she is "reaching out as you have placed a new order with us . . . . We show a disputed chargeback from order #N-[deleted] from January. At this time, your account is currently blocked. If you would like to work with our Office Manager to un-block your account, they will need to discuss some details with you." Basically the implication here is that I did not pay for my previous order and thus "blocked" and would need to talk with the manager. I reported my records showed they were paid and I was never refunded (and I did eventually get the boxes), but I would no longer be ordering from them because of this experience. In response, the manager Jason agreed with me, and apologized. I explained that was too late to get me and my hundreds of dollars of business back, but that I would include his apology and response in my reviews of the company. And so, there it is. Your milage and patience may vary.

I did not visit with my kids, but I know my kids would have loved this toy store. They love any kind of store where they can touch and play with the merchandise, and Toys Forever is such a place. It's very hands-on. There are toys all around that people can pick up and experience, which is very cool. Even though my children were not with me, I visited Toys Forever because I wanted to get my kids something from Muncie as a souvenir. You see, I was just passing through this fine city. My kids love things that are superlative: "The world's tallest X" or "The worl'd fastest Y." So when I saw The World's Biggest Candy Necklace near the checkout counter, I grabbed two. Done and done! The candy necklaces were a hit, as I thought they would be, and they only cost a few dollars each. There are fun things for all ages and at all price points here. The people who helped me were super friendly, and I saw that they were helping several other people find what they needed and answered questions. I love charming locally owned stores like this one.

This past weekend, I spent some time in downtown Muncie. While I'm nearly always in Muncie for…read morebusiness or a project, on this visit I actually had some time to do some exploring including checking out downtown's Toys Forever Models & Hobbies shop. Located in the historic Goddard building (originally built in 1884), Toys Forever is a locally owned hobby shop started in 2007 and launched an online presence in 2015. Examples of items carried include radio control, model railroad, plastic & scale model building, games, toys, Melissa & Doug, scientific and educational games, puzzles, and more. I found the employees to be delightful and well-informed and you could tell by kids in the shop that this is a hands-on establishment. This is in downtown Muncie with solidly available street parking and occasional parking lots. Some of the street parking does have a 2-hour limit, however, unless you park down at the Courtyard by Marriott (about 3-4 blocks away) you should be able to snag free parking. Downtown Muncie is a little hit-and-miss with accessibility - curb cuts are fine, however, some stores do have a step to get in them. This shop, however, is perfectly fine in terms of accessibility and the interior is surprisingly solid. Employees seemed very willing to assist as needed. Toys Forever definitely leans more toward classic toys/games/hobbies, with some exceptions. I've long thought about getting into trains and this story really fueled that desire. I don't live in Muncie, however, I would definitely return upon future visits and really enjoyed discovering this Muncie hidden gem.

He obviously doesn't know how to troubleshoot an item, which is wild being the owner of a hobby car company. I don't know my way around these cars but he insisted they don't do returns and i would need to contact horizon. well i did and they won't do a return either since it wasn't bought directly from them.

I'm not quite sure why I've never been in HobbyTown, but I was in the neighborhood and had some…read moretime between obligations. So, I stopped in to check it out. HobbyTown is located in the long strip center adjacent to the former Weekends Only (and soon to be Vasa Fitness). It's definitely not the most active strip center, however, it seems like a good location for this type of business. HobbyTown is a franchised retail toy/hobby store with over 100 locations nationwide including three in Indiana (Granger and Evansville also have one). It's based in Nebraska. HobbyTown has a bit of a retro vibe, craft store meets hardware store meets toys like RC vehicles, RC aircraft, models, toys, games, learning toys, arts and crafts, and trains. I would probably describe myself as a wannabe hobbyist. I found myself completely captivated by the trains, RC options, and some of the models. I loved models as a kid - I was lousy at putting them together, but I really enjoyed it. They also had more board games than I expected. Parking here is pretty easy. It's not the most accessible building, however, it's not far from Concentra with a great curb cut. The store itself was pretty easy to get around, though aisles are occasionally a bit crowded. I had no difficulty and found the place friendly and helpful. The prices are pretty consistent with other hobby/toy shops. Yes, you can spend a lot here. For sure. You can also find affordable hobby options and gift options. A five-star might be a tad generous, however, I really liked the place and loved the variety of toys and hobbies. I enjoyed hanging out for a bit and got some great ideas. I'd say it's pretty certain I'll be back.

I asked an employee what was going on with the lack of restocking and he said they just can't get things since Christmas. They didn't restock before that (not just train items out of stock) so that doesn't make sense to me. The older men that work there are not very friendly at all. If you ask them something about anything they act like you're stupid if you didn't already know. They are just rude old grouchy men. So because of those issues I'm done going there. It is too bad because at one time it was a great place to go. I guess I will buy more online and look my questions up there as well. I wonder if they are getting ready to close?

New RTR kits from Traxxas, Redcat, hpi, et al are available AND (astonishingly) there are unboxed examples of most models on the counter for you to touch and poke at and dream of owning, including(at time of review) 2 gas(not nitro) 1:5 Redcat trucks! They have aisles upon aisles of replacements and ups from Redcat, Traxxas, losi, team associated and some hpi. They also have RPM, Integy, Castle Creations ProLine and Robinson Racing among others. In the back you'll find a small carpet track area with a high ceiling for flying smaller items. Opposite that, a selection of used cars and trucks. I can't speak to their offerings for those who like their toys aloft suffice to say that there is at least as much space dedicated to planes and 'copters as there is cars and trucks. They're pretty nice guys who don't mind chatting with their customers but are also happy to get down to business quick if that's how you operate. Also, don't forget to grab a couple free back issues of some popular RC magazines from the bin out back when you visit. All in all RC Hobbies Plus is a really good place in Lafayette for your maintenance/upgrade needs or getting started in RC.
