Went in for HO train supplies today. Had my budget set at $ 500. The guy working the train section was terrible. He could have cared less about me. Was more interested sitting on his *ss and surfing the web for train related topics. I spent $ 100 on the stuff I needed and will buy the rest on-line. So disappointing!!!

Great selection, but understaffed. My last two visits I just gave up and left. No eye contact even from the RC staff or a helpful«I’ll be with you in a moment.» On to Amazon!

Excellent knowledgeable staff and huge inventory. Great shop! They had vintage RC10 parts as well as the newest Traxxas gear and Blade quadracoptors. I visited on business and had to check a bag to get my gear home. Lol

miss playing with old schools toys candy or maybe your into cars and boats and building them well this hub hobby is the place to be! I just sounded like a Ad omg I love this place I was introduced to this place couple years ago someone I knew was into old school toys and stuff and I immediately went back in time when I saw the toys I used to have or want. now I can buy as many toys cause no need to ask for mommy and she would say no majority of the time! now that I am older im into the cars but here you can get them big rocking cars or what would be cool is build you own car I need to try that one! customer service in the front is okay never a hi or bye when I go in but the customer service in the back where I think they specialize in the boats and car and what not are super dope! they nice! the store is very clean I have been to other stores and they just dirty! but this one is nice and organized and prices here are great not expensive

Just reviewed another hobby store that didn’t compare to Hub Hobby, so I should probably profess my love for this place too. If you’ve got a kid who enjoys model cars/planes/trains, loves science or crafts, or has a school project to do, this is the place to go. They’ve got just about everything — including a big selection of games and puzzles — so we always find what we need(ok «need» might be a strong word; most of our purchases are to support our nerdy hobbies). The staff is friendly and nearly as nerdy as our family, so that’s a big plus. The only downside is that parking can get a bit ugly at really busy times, like just before Christmas. But the vast majority of the time, it is all good!

They always have fun things that we didnt know we needed. But totally did. I love all he trains and the accessories to set up your own railroad.

I used to depend on Hub to have everything I needed for any hobby project. Specifically, modeling supplies and RC airplane supplies. Well, they still have great stocks of plastic models and the needed tools and paints, but in the last year they’ve virtually stopped carrying RC airplane goods and materials. I’m not sure if Hub decided to quit competing with internet retailers here, but there are times when I crash a plane, need parts immediately, and can’t wait for the US mail to deliver them. Hub used to bail me out time and again, but now I have to just stock up from the internet and hope that I have what I need when I need it. It’s too bad. I’d come in for an RC airplane widget and leave with 5 other items. Now, I just drive by most days. Reviews are accurate — it’s a great place for kids hobbies and toys, but the… er… mature toy supplies have dwindled.

Okay, I am well over 40… I should be mature and productive: i.e. doing my honey-do-list kind of guy or doing our taxes. In actual reality, I can waste times with various things like making model airplanes/cars, setting the train set around the Christmas tree, etc. In other words, I hang around Hub Hobby Center too often. I use my kids as a cover because we(my kids and I) can blow hours and hours looking at every mudane things: model trains, cars, airplanes, puzzles, trinkets, rc cars/boats/helicopters/etc. Essentially this place has everything for your hobby content. Heck my daughter can take 30 minutes decide what color crystal rocks she wanted… I am confident that Hubby Hobby is the most likely the sole source on my future divorce papers…

I wish I came here before I finished my Christmas shopping! This place is great, there are so many cool games, crafts and other creative items you can honestly walk around for hours. It’s way bigger that you would expect, if you have an interest in a geeky hobby like Board Games, Models, RC Cars, Trains and Figurines to name a few then you will love this place. I felt motivated to start a new hobby while I was here, so many different things can appeal to so many interests that it’s impossible not to find something you will like. If you do catch a bug for starting something Hub can set you up with everything you need to do it, for a way more reasonable price than you would expect too. If you have kids or are going to a kids birthday or something like that, check out Hub first. Tons of toys and gifts for little ones all within an affordable price range. If you are going to an Adult party or looking for a funny gag gift they got you covered there too, I can’t wait to go back!

My boyfriend and I love to buy model kits and spend the weekend(s) putting them together, so this is the store we always visit to buy our model kit supplies. They have a huge selection of model kits, RC cars, train sets and accessories, toys, games, kites, and just about everything in-between. I could spend hours there. If you’re just getting into a hobby, there always seems to be a customer shopping there that has insight into what to buy. I highly recommend Hub Hobby!

Went in here looking for a few tools for my hobbies. The have a big selection of all hobbies I know of. I picked what I needed up, and a bit more besides. Well worth the stop.

I can’t believe I’ve never stopped in here before. This place is amazing. They have tons of great toys, trains, activity sets, you name it and they probably have it. They have the cheapo made in China toys, but they also have the neat wooden toys, too. I haven’t done an item-to-item comparison, but it seems like their prices are cheaper overall than places like Creative Kidstuff. Be careful when you bring kids in here, though, because you may have to drag them out kicking and screaming. I heard at least 2 kids crying about not wanting to leave when we visited.
