Came to HobbyTown Toms River for Pokémon cards. There's a strict "one pack per person" rule --…read moreunless, of course, you're a friend of the staff. I watched another customer get three packs no problem, but when I asked for the same, I was told the exception was only because they "knew him" and the cards were for his kids (that apparently doesn't matter if they are there or not) to quote what I heard a worker say one-time "doesn't matter if you bring your friends or family and they are there it's still limited to one per person." The next day? The rule was suddenly back in full force for everyone else. So if you enjoy selective policies and a little favoritism with your purchase, this is the place. Otherwise, don't expect fairness -- just a reminder that you're not part of the inner circle.

My partner and I both have alot of hobbies and HobbyTown had an amazing selection of items at great prices. I left with a few Gundam models and Pokemon cards with sets I haven't seen elsewhere. My partner is into dungeons and dragons as well as Warhammer and he left with books, models and a few new game sets. There's a good selection- you won't find everything you want but there's certainly some gems in here. The staff were lovely and helpful. I'd come back here next time I'm in the area.

It is a special store and fun to visit with your pup! Friendly and leashed dogs are allowed; just be cautious of the delicate items.

I met shop owner Chris through an Facebook record collectors group. I knew we had similar tastes in…read moremusic and his shop certainly reflected his tastes somewhat - lots of stuff under the broad punk genre and all of the various sub-genres but still plenty of other stuff - classics, pop, hip-hop, etc. Majority of the shop is new, but a small used section and a small vintage section. Everything was meticulously labeled with sections for each band making it easy to hunt for what you were after. Prices were fair as well. Decent selection of pop culture items (shirts, Funko pops, DVDs, etc). It's probably a good thing that they are so far away from me since I'd spend wayyy too much. Though knowing he does online sales and Whatnot Auctions could be problematic for me.

I was able to find only one vest & the other was out of stock so I waited about a week for it to come in. This place is big on remote controlled cars.

Took away one star because of how expensive this place is & because I felt pressure to buy more then what I had gone in there for.
