The owner is great but the employees suck, they don't know what they're doing. This is the 3rd time they do this to me, I had told them to place an order when it's time for me to pick up the part "oh we never put it on the list" Customer Service Sucks... read more

Huge place with lots of models and some hard to find paints. Mostly an RC shop, with even more RC stuff. Definitely worth a trip out there. read more

This store is the best it has all kinds of rc even the Chinese ones it has amazing staff and super helpful my Traxxas slash was broken for 6 years and I took it to over 10 different hobby stores and tony rc was the one that in 2 min saw the problem told me the part I needed which was super cool you can also pay for them to fix it for you but its not that expensive and the prices are a little cheaper over there don't let these bad reviews change your mind its all wrong when they fixed my car which took about 30 min I was super happy and even took it to the track(the track is mud so you will need to buy mud tires to drive it there but still super good and awesome experience would recommend I absolutely love this place) read more

Awsome staff and track , normal prices but worth coming here for the experience of the staff , they can get anything if they don't have it in stock but tons of cars and accessories. read more

Not sure why all the poor reviews. I took my son there today to drive the track. Im just getting back into the hobby after a few years off and this was his first time driving his mini-t on a track. We had a blast. Everyone was friendly and everyone we walked the shop while batteries were charging, the asked if we needed any help. I didn't buy anything today but prices seemed reasonable for a LHS. Im already working on switching my SCT set up from a large outdoor track set up to a smaller indoor set up. Good times. Support local businesses read more

This is my go to hobby shop. Needed to replace the spur gear on my son's mini slash. He had the biggest smile getting his car back. Can't wait to do some laps on the track together. Father-son race. read more

Great place. Very knowledgeable about the rc. Have a lot of parts but not all. Track is limited 10 scale and smaller . read more

Cool selection of RC cars boats planes.... But also tons of scale model kits. They're always helpful

They only care about making a sale don't care much about helping you with what you have going on. Sold my father in law a battery after he told them what kind of Traxxas he had and they gave him a battery that didn't fit he didn't even use it and they didn't even offer to trade it so we left and bought another Rc for that battery. Interactions like these make you realize what stores care and don't. read more

Very rude and was asking questions it seems like they did not want my business was going to spend a lot of money there like I did before but seem like my $2,000 dollar was not green enough for them read more

Guy is rude (owner ). Parking is shady. Prices are high. Employees belittle customers ...

We went in to ask some questions and maybe get some stuff. Young guy behind counter is very friendly and great customer service. But the middle age, asian guy is rude. Acted like he couldn't be bothered. Put a bad taste in our mouth and didn't want to spend our money there. Which is sad because we SPEND A LOT on our rc cars. Also sucks because this and Covina are both out where is there another hobby shop... Dangggg read more

I love it they have a lot more variety , than other places I found parts than other places doesn't have! read more

This shop looks dwarfed on the outside but once you step through those doors it becomes a giant of a hobby store with five rows of leisure pleasures. Revell,Amt,Lindberg and Academy models are all at your fingertips waiting to be built.Planes,cars,WW2 and Gundam items are on sale waiting to be picked up by some hobby enthusiast out there.Man,this is the place I wish I had when I was growing up.They also carry train accessories,drones and race cars. Im not sure about the pricing but they seem kinda reasonable but this is not my place to say,you would have to be the judge of that.To me this a very cool shop even though it's not my thing but if it was I would be coming here a lot,like a moth to a flame. The staff was friendly and were quick to answer all the questions I had for them.The parking is ugly on the weekends because of the gymnasts place next door so I would suggest coming during the week if possible if not,you have been warned.Peace,I'm out read more

I liked this place. Having recently moved up the area, I needed a new hobby shop to buy supplies and of course, buy a model for the stash that I will eventually build in like 30 years lol. This shop is family owned and operated and it shows. The folks there were super nice and based on their interactions with other customers, they develop a good relationship with their regulars. Highly recommend for your hobby needs. read more

INSANELY OVERPRICED + POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Only shop here if you are willing to overpay! I started to come here a few weeks ago and will no longer come back. I have already made a few purchases and after some research realized their prices are not competitive at all. I am for supporting local businesses, but not when they charge 50 PERCENT MORE FOR THE SAME ITEM while being a REPEAT CUSTOMER. Earlier today I stopped by and saw a model that costed 50 PERCENT MORE than I paid at Burbank House of Hobbies. I paid 53.00 for a model at Burbank (same price on Amazon), and Tony charges 80.00 for the same item. I found another car I wanted and they would not do anything about the pricing. I would have gladly taken it if they just took a couple of dollars off! Having bought a few models, paints, and tools at Tonys in the past few weeks, I thought they might reduce the price just a little bit and keep me as a customer. I was wrong. Last time I was here, I was in line to pay and the customer in front of me was given a steep discount to match Amazons price. I was not given the time of day after inquiring about a price match. I will no longer come back. I will make all of my future purchases at Burbank House of Hobbies, DXN provisions (excellent customer service), or Amazon. read more

Tony's Hobbies & Toys - Cam and Losi - Hobby Shops Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

Save yourself a trip. I came with my son and the older lady who is in the store does not seem like she wants to sale. She did not allow my son to see the cars on display so how do you expect to sale! Also whatever i tend to do with the cars i purchase is not your business, i am the one paying for it. In order words dont waste your time or money at this location. read more

I bought a red cat 1964 Chevy brand new in the box and the bumper was broke inside the box smh these cars are not cheap by the way and this shop is far from my house so when I came back the next day Wayne wasn't there who sold me the car so they wouldn't help me they said they couldn't do nothing about it but sale me a bumper after helping everyone else in the store.So I had to buy a bumper after buying a brand new car with a warranty SMH and When I got home to put on the bumper the screws were broke inside the other bumper and won't come out. It look like I have to pay someone extra to fix my brand new car I just got from them that apparently wasn't brand new. This was the worst experience ever at a hobby shop for me. I'm stuck with this broke car and went way out there twice for this broke car but they got my good money! ORDER ONLINE AND NOT FROM HERE TRUST ME!!!! This is ONE UNHAPPY CUSTOMER read more

The owner is a p o s. I typically only review if someone's really outta hand. He comes off very snobbish. Like if someone is new to the hobby and u own a hobby store, it'd be in your best interest to help them out or guide them if they have questions. Not sound like a d head. I'd rather go to revelation rc 30 mins away than to spend another dollar in here read more

Let me start by saying this is review for Gunpla builders, as I don't have experience with RC, which seems to be a bigger part of this business. I didn't have any issues with customer service like others reviewers have mentioned. While they do have a good selection of kits and paint, my main concern was the pricing. While I didn't mind paying a little more for the Tamiya spray paints, (~$11, compared to $7 on Amazon) because it helps support a local hobby shop; the kits were extremely overpriced. Most High Grades you can usually find for like ~$20 were priced around $35-50. Like another reviewer posted they were charging $50 for a HG Gundam Aerial kit, that you can easily find for UNDER $20. Would recommend buying online or going to a different retailer like Robots4Less or Burbank House of Hobbies if you're near either one. read more

The go to spot for all your RC needs. From RTR's to race kits. Cars, planes, drones they have it all. Prices are competitive and the keep most items that you can think of IN STOCK! They have a nice small track so you can drive your car the moment you buy it. Track is small compared to the outdoor ones but it has many turns and is technical. You can get really good practice on it. Oh, they even sell Derby Car's and parts for Boy Scouts. I used their Tungsten weights and came in 1st. read more

Tony's Hobbies & Toys - Nice layout for testing your skills. - Hobby Shops Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

The worst costumer service i've ever seen in my life ! I recommend nobody to deal with this bad toys shop ! Is too bad They got an attitude as well ! They are a scammers !! they sell bad batteries! None of their products is ok I bought a $300 car once i opened the box! the car wasn't working! I sent back to find out ! they said its the battery! They made me buy another battery again! Then the other battery was bad according to them ! Now im stuck with a car and two batteries none of them work !! I advise everybody to never even think about getting in touch with those scammers read more

Terrible customer service. They sold me an esc that is for an 8th scale when I needed a 10th scale esc. Once I got home, opened the package and saw the size I knew something wasn't right. I tried bringing back the unused esc and they denied any wrongdoing and refused to exchange it for the correct size esc. I'm never coming here again. I'll just go somewhere that has knowledgeable staff like pegasus. 0/10 terrible store. read more

This spot is the go to spot for rc need have everything you need they don't over price there stuff it's the same price you'll find anywhere else.! Got me a slash 2wd vxl read more

Came in with part#s at the ready because of the already slow service. They don't even have a system when customers are next they just help random people they are near. After waiting and being skipped and the "I'll be right after this customer" promise they kicked me out right at closing time did not even get my parts. Been an old customer of Tony's since the old shop on hacienda blvd. Never coming back again, everyone there working has lost the passion and patience. read more

I recently realized that there was a hobby store near my area and decided to check it out for some Gundam kits. The store inside is pretty huge and has a wide variety of model kits and rc cars in stock. They also had a nice selection of paints such as spazstix and the now discontinued model masters. Prices for the gundam kits were relatively reasonable and I was able to pick up a few older release kits that I had been looking for. Pretty satisfied with my purchases and I will be coming by from time to time to check for more gundam kits. read more

Looking for specific Tamiya aircraft carrier yelped and came here. I'm so happy I came here because got the model I want. The price is reasonable the services was outstanding. I asked an older gentleman (younger guy didn't really help me keep telling me he is looking..not) to help me and he was amazing. I even end up buying an airplane. Would come again..thinking about the gundam model I saw. read more

The owner mr Tony is a complete dick I've came in twice now and every time has a attitude and does not want to answer any questions only come here if you know the exact part number if you don't just leave will never come back I try to support local buisness but it's Amazon for me now just because of his attitude read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Brought in a motor/ESC combo I purchased here to get looked at because it never worked out of the box. I waited 3 weeks when I was told it would only take 1. Every week I was told to check back the following weekend. I finally decided to just come in and the employee helping me told me it's been ready they just forgot to call me. GREAT. I asked if they can run a test before I check out and pay but they didn't know how and apparently didn't have the equipment to do so. WEIRD. The employee told me I can take it home and test it myself and if it didn't work to bring it back. So I have to pay to take back a defective product they sold me without testing before I leave? They employee asked if I wanted to speak to the owner and figure it out. Tony immediately came out upset and yelling asking why I need them to take the time to test the defective product before I leave. So now I don't care about the work just wondering why I'm getting yelled and cursed at. He then told me to "take my shit and get out." read more

I've been in the market for an RC car for a few weeks now...nothing serious, being an absolute beginner I just needed something to get my toes wet. I avoided this place because of all the negative reviews even though it's mere minutes from my house. But today I decided to put on my big boy pants and summoned the courage to be subjected to atrocious customer service and wandered in. Almost instantly I regretted...not coming in sooner; I found myself being assaulted...by nothing that the other reviewers complained about. Maybe everyone was having a bad day each of those times? I asked a lot of questions, most of which I guarantee we're of the "omg are you stoopid?" variety. And nothing. I got great advice. I was told the two brands I was looking at were similar in performance but one had better customer support and parts availability vs the other. I got a lesson in the differences between NiMH and LiPo batteries and how you absolutely, positively should be aware of how to handle the latter. An hour later I left a few hundred dollars lighter and with a sense of "what is all the fuss about?" Maybe I got lucky and everyone ate their Wheaties today. read more

Pretty good but they do not have a lot in the way of anime model kits here. The guy i talked to over the phone also did not know what to look for when I called asking for an item. They claimed to have only one in stock but he wasn't even looking in the right area. read more

Will never shop at this hobby store ever again! Horrible customer service is all I can say

Been there about 6 times. Each time.... Not a pleasant customer service experience. So far, everyone i spoke to, arrogant and/or condescending. read more

I'm fairly new to the rc scene and I recently purchased my real rc car a traxxas slash 4x4. This place is well stocked and many selection. When I first went inside the store there was 2 other customers and 3 workers. One customer was being help and the other customer and I were browsing. At any point no workers acknowledged the other customer and I. The lady behind the register just gave us a weird stare like we didn't belong there. After 15 min in the store I finally asked one of the worker if I could see a transmitter. Even at that point it felt like they didn't want to show me the item. They didn't even bother to show me the box. I'm all about supporting local business, but with these type of service no wonder many stores are going out of businesses. read more

My last review was based on the website. Nothing was in stock according to the website. Since I was driving right past Tony's shop I took a chance and stopped by the store. All I can say is: "WOW" Tony's still has a huge inventory of RC planes, cars, copters, etc. Every RC plane I was looking for was in stock!! As far as I know, the is no better RC shop in the area!! read more

This is by FAR the best shop for anything rc. They know their stuff, they're prompt with helping you, they take their time to find the parts for you and they're all super friendly people. Only thing is they're 40 minutes away hahahaha maybe that's a good thing for me. read more
