    I think the service and selection you can find at this hobby shop is more than you would believe…read more The people are very nice and I can't wait to go back.

    Go anywhere but here for RC stuff. The place has been disorganized for years. It's dirty from the…read moreceiling to the floor. The staff does not care and cannot answer most questions. Santiago is awesome, but the rest have no idea what's going on. Not even the owner. They never have what I need with regard to parts for common Traxxas and Arrma products, one will be in stock, but the others will not, even if it's a common item. The website is better (but don't try to order it for pickup, because they won't have it when you arrive). Shipping is like $3.99 for small orders though, and Amazon is cheaper if you have Prime because there is no shipping. The benefit to a brick-and-mortar store despite a slightly higher price is being able to get the item today. MyTobbies has the single largest selection in the Tampa area. The manager/owner is almost never there (unless it's the morning and only during the week so good luck with your warranty or a return if you buy something), and employees have to get verbal permission just to give you your money back. There used to be a bunch of great people there (Kevin, Jeremy, Tim, John, Wyatt) but they are all gone. Bottom line, there are better places. Here are a few I enjoy. Also, if you like Warhammer or Gundam, I included a couple places below. My Tobbies DFD Phil's Hobby Shop Jackson Brothers Nerdy Needs Two Fairies and a Dwarf

    This place is a genuine treasure and almost a "snapshot" back in time before video games became the…read morecommon pastime for so many. I have been going to HoH since my Grandma used to take me to their original Clearwater location on South Ft. Harrison, when I was a little kid. I miss that place so bad. It was great fun to see the owner have to use a step-stool to climb over that cluttered counter to get to his seat behind the cash register! A family business, still going strong for decades, that guy with the white crew cut is "Bob," the owner... ...and Bob has more information about ANY retro hobby than you can imagine! His selection of old and new plastic model kits is the stuff of legend. I have brought out-of-town friends here just to browse for kicks, and they always leave finding something of pure wonder! While not my passion, Bob is also the guy to go to if you are into ANY radio-controlled sort of hobbies whatsoever! Car, plane, boat, etc... He is an RC expert! HoH's inventory is vast and impressive. But if you can't find it here, just ask Bob and he will gladly order it for you! I wish more parents would encourage their kids to put down the video game controllers, and build a plastic model kit. An afternoon of glue and paint can be FAR more rewarding than just silly and hollow, temporary pixels on a screen. How much more rewarding? Actually, I now run a small side-business, making and selling my own sort of "model kit" related art objects. While he may never know his impact, Bob the owner here, is one of my main influences that introduced me to the joy of building and painting objects with my own two hands! So please give HoH a visit! In our modern "video game" era, this sort of place has become almost extinct, and that is a real shame indeed...

    Been trying to contact them for a return. My order didn't go through so I ordered from elsewhere…read more Then a parcel arrives and it's my order. No emails from them at alll hence why I ordered from somewhere else. Not one single email so you would assume you didn't order. I checked my bank and yes it took my money. Now I can't get in touch. They never ever pick up the phone. They never reply to emails. Disgusting customer service. Beware of this company the owner is a joke and ignores your emails.
