HobbyTown

"a good shop with a good selection of stuff for hobbies. i always look through out the gundam model kits and other bands of model kits. i sometimes look at the warhammer models. i always come here when i need miliput or if i want to build a new model kit. i think the only suggestions i could give is have a spot for 3d printing. i can understand if you there isn't enough room for it. honestly i enjoy my time when i look around. i think the only band time i had was when they had one employee who i am 100% sure they don't work there plus it's been a couple of years since then but they threw change into my hand like not like a kind way more of a agitated way. but other then that i really love this store and can't wait to buy more from them"

"Is a great store for adults with RC/train/model hobbies. But they do not want kids in their store. Also if you’re not buying or upgrading a $700 RC car, than you’re not worth their time. I bought a $150 RC car from this store a year ago for my son. Came in looking for a charger for it. But was shunned because my $150 RC isn’t worth upgrading to a better battery type. Was offered a charger and adapter that would’ve been $45 when Amazon had several options from $13-20. I was ok spending extra at a local, brick and mortar store but the belittling because my 7 and 12 year olds don’t have better RC cars than the $150 ones turned me away. The cashier watched my kids like a hawk, waiting for one of them to break their adult hobby store rules. They did and were told to stop stretching squeeze/stretchy toys. My kids playing with their $150 RCs could turn in to a hobby where we start buying the more expensive better quality ones. But we won’t be returning here to buy them."

"Whether looking for a new hobby, getting the basics or getting deep into modeling, RC racing, Gundam or other hobbies you will find tools, kits, accessories and enthusiastic help. Several communities have formed at this and other central Virginia HobbyTowns."

"I paint and detail 1/25th scale model cars. They have a good selection of kits to choose from. They carry quite a lot of paint but they aren’t well organized. A lot of them are just thrown on the bottom shelves and it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for. They do carry a decent selection of modeling tools but they don’t restock the shelves very often. I would rather buy locally and pay a little more but I’m often forced to buy what I need online. By keeping the section fully stocked they would increase their business. I checked their main competitor and Hobbytown runs circles around them. It would be nice to see the department expanded."
