Black Al is the man even though he tells me i waste my money on nonsense but i call it trial and error lol.

While the store itself is a bit messy you find pretty quickly that it only adds to the charm of the place. This is an old school hobby shop with a massive selection of just about everything and it's filled with people who are passionate about their respective interests. If you are into RC vehicles, there is both an outdoor and indoor track on site that you can access for only $5, and that's for the whole day. If you patronize your local mom & pop shops for the tactile experience and knowledgeable customer service then this is absolutely the place for you. Miles and miles above it's biggest competitor in the area.

Upon warning other customers in their discord, they kicked me and blocked me so no one would see my honest review. Then via email they called me malicious, aggressive and negative when their mistake was completely out of my control. Highly defensive, excuses for everything just like the other negative reviews below, I won't be returning.

Unfortunately for me, the new place is 25 miles further north at the Jefferson Valley Mall. This is as far as you can go in Westchester county because Putnam county is just across the street. Like most malls across the country, JVM is not doing great, with not a lot of tenants or customers and it just seems to be barely hanging on. At least their anchor store, Macy's hasn't bailed yet. I'm hardly ever up this way, but when I am, I'll stop in at WTH to see any new stuff (and to see the old stuff). The new store has almost as big a footprint as the Galleria store, but way bigger than the previous White Plains mall one, which got the wrecking ball also (I'm not sure if that's a good omen). Everything was moved here, every plane, train & automobile (literally) and even Barbie (but no Oppenheimer). John told me he has big plans for the new store and to check back for new inventory soon. Each aisle has a hobby specialty. The biggest proportion is in the back where all the model trains reside. Glass cabinets are filled with vintage Lionel trains and other well known brands. The Hot Wheels collection made it over, as well as the Barbie and Hess truck collections. But my main hobby focus are model airplanes and ships and their collection of old kits is pretty impressive. They get new old kits all the time by buying up old collections and reselling. This trip, I got (3) 70's-80's nostalgic plastic airplane kits that I've had or wanted since I was a kid. I could wander the aisles here all day and they would have to kick me out. Maybe I'll go back after I grab some lunch at the food court...
