OVERPRICED! My husband made Maple City Hobbies his destination when he wanted to build model…read morerockets with the kids. I don't think he was aware of the existence of Hobby Lobby at the time, so he made the much farther 45 minute trek to Goshen to MCH. Hubby said the store was slightly dirty but the person working polite. He said they had a decent selection, so he purchased 2 model rockets: Big Bertha & Starship Octavius. After finishing assembly, the kids decided they wanted to choose different paint colors for their rockets as well as pick out their next project (building model cars). Needing to go to Mishawaka, we went to Hobby Lobby (HL) this time. Of course their selection is massive, and there were a lot of things hubby saw there that he also saw at MCH. His excitement quickly turned into frustration when he realized that a lot of the same products he had purchased at MCH were almost double that the price of HL. He paid $16 for a rocket (Starship Octavius) at MCH & the same one was at HL for $9.99. He found this to be the case with most every aspect of the project. Talk about disappointing! He vowed to only do his hobby affairs with HL moving forward. Very sad, because we always want to support small businesses.. but gouging the prices in such a way is what makes folks turn their backs on these small mom & pop shops, and steer more towards the big box stores.

But I got home and see they charged me $269.99. I was excited to find this shop for my dad and son, but now I'm not so sure how honest they are. Hopefully they will correct it and this is a one off here. Update. They were extremely sorry and helpful with the discrepancy. Thank you for resolving the matter accordingly and timely.

Id love to see more airplane and ship kits but this is probably a very small market. They have a good tool selection and lots of parts. There are so many tool and accessory options out there it's hard to carry everything. The plastic Mosels could use a little attention but I have seen the section growing. To my knowledge they have rc car and boat racing areas which is awesome, but I haven't personally had time to utilize them yet. The pricing on all their products is the competitive standard prices and they occasionally have sales etc. It's a good place to take kids because they will always find something that interests them and feeds their imagination. If you haven't been, go check it out yourself. This is the only game in town so I would love to see more people visit them so they can grow and grow.

They seem to cater to the RC Car enthusiasts, if you go looking for anything but RC both service and selection is mediocre. My last visit was Saturday the 24th, I went shopping for plastic models, space related, they had nothing and in general the plastic models selection sucks. Also looking for supplies for plastic modeling, the shelves were bare. I did find about a third of my list and spent about $50. I went home and ordered everything else I needed on Amazon, spent another $94. I would really like to support local stores but places like this make it difficult.
