Hobby Shops. Remember them from your childhood? I sure do. I thought they were gone for good…read more But they aren't! There's one in Rockville that's exactly like you remember it. RC Cars! Toy Trains! Model Kits! And all the other art sets, car tracks, European and Japanese toys and "Stuff." You know how a modern store just has people behind the counter? Hobby Works has staff walking the floor to help you. And they really help. And they know their stuff. And when you're there, it's got that friendly clubhouse atmosphere like you stopped off here while walking home from school in the 6th grade. Sometimes it feels like with online shopping, kids won't ever experience the friendly local stores like we did. Not while Hobby Works is open, it's all modern, but it's a shopping experience that most stores lost over the years- and our kids deserve to experience that friendliness.

Really disappointed with my experience here. The woman working the counter was rude and didn't seem…read moreknowledgeable about the products at all. I had a few basic questions about Pokémon and other card items, and instead of helping, she came across annoyed and uninterested the entire time. When you walk into a card and game shop, you expect at least some level of enthusiasm or willingness to help--especially with games like Pokémon, Magic, or Warhammer. Unfortunately, that just wasn't the case here. Customer service makes a big difference, and this experience completely turned me off from coming back.

Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The selection for models (train, planes, automobiles, etc)…read morewas a little limited and is more on the warhammer/D&D side of things.

Pricing on some things may seem high but good luck finding the train or model stuff elsewhere. If you could find it online the freight would make it cost even more?
