There are individual booths with various items of interest. Everything from vintage melamine fishes to Pyrex, to collectibles! Jewelry, collectibles and Nicknacks galore.

Saw this place as a suggested stop via yelp and decided to stop by. Being nerds and collectors…read moreourselves, its nice to see things outside conventions and local that we can stop by and check out. First, its a little confusing where this is. It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

Didn't buy anything. Prices are over the already inflated market. Maybe we just went on a bad day…read more Nice setup inside the old theater. Prices are scalper plus some. That's not necessary in today's world.

I've never rated a hobbie shop, but this place seemed really neat. It's located right in the…read moredowntown and was walkable from the Colebrookdale railroad. There are several aisles of model train accessories, scenery, train sets and tracks of several different scale types. The prices seemed in line/a tad higher than most places I've shopped. They had an area with Thomas trains and a small end cap with a Thomas wooden train set kept my youngest occupied while we checked out the rest of their offering. They had a couple aisles of models - ships, military planes, cars etc., rocket sets, RC cars, supplies like paint and tools and some games like Warhammer which I'm not familiar with at all. I enjoyed stepping back in time while I walked around and love it that small operations like this are still around. We bought some Thomas items that were fairly priced and are happy with them. Give these guys a look if your in the area and support small businesses!

They have a wide variety of models, a great paint section including Valejo, AK, Citadel, Model Painter, Mr Model, etc. The staff were very friendly and the prices were reasonable for retail. I don't know why there are not more reviews here, this place is a gem. I drive the hour gladly to be a kid again.

Impressive and well stocked store. Large longbox selection sits in the middle of the store towards…read morethe back. Decent stock of new comics, but doesn't seem to carry any CCG/TCG cards aside from Magic The Gathering. An entire wall of the store is taken by the extensive selection of Graphic Novels. Sells comics in bunches/sets if you are looking to start a collection. Store also stocks a half wall of toys towards the back and collectable figurines around the register area in the front. Clean, well lit, and organized. Literally, the store is stocked from bottom to top. Whitehall Mall is more of a shopping center then a mall, with most of the stores having external entrances, Comicmasters is located in the small indoor "mall" portion. The indoor portion of the mall was rather dimly lit during our evening visit.

New releases, with variant covers ( at no extra cost ) retro and vintage comics that were in decent shape. I was extremely impressed with the customer service skills. There was a gentleman in there when I was there, that had an intellectual disability and the employee was very good with him and patient. It was refreshing to have someone that knew what they were talking about. can't wait to return.
