OK, so we were visiting an old friend and happened upon Hobbieville on our way back from a walk…read more We were able to find a toy for both our kids and had a nice chat with the owner about the cool models on display throughout the store. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The store features a good selection of models and toys including RC planes, rockets, put together models, die cast and plastic cars, trucks and aircraft, and more. There's even a mini race car track in the basement for racing events. It looks super cool. I wish we lived closer so we could check out some of the races. All in all, it's a great place to buy engaging and fun models and toys.

Track, engines, rolling stock, paint, scenery items, supplies, plus all the magazines and guides. You'd be hard pressed to find a better stocked store this side of Charles Ro. Easily the best train store within 2.5 hours of Burlington VT. My only complaint in that the N scale selection of freight cars was limited and tucked away. HO and O scales are thoroughly stocked, and I sense they can order anything else you may need.

Grab a coffee and get ready to hear the story of the most unprofessional business transaction ever…read more Here's my story, upon hearing it, I hope you guys can learn from all the headaches I've endured with this company. 1) Placed an order on their webpage on a regular priced item, entered all payment detail. Nothing is shipped on the promised ship date. Days later, received an email from the probable owner of the store that they actually don't have the model in stock and there is no ETA on the arrival date of next batch. Furthermore, when and IF it finally arrives, the price on the webpage was too low and needs to be raised by $25 for no reason besides "The price has gone up and we can't control it". The owner didn't even apologize or acknowledge that this practice is complete BS. 2) Various emails were exchanged to express my dissatisfaction of the situation. He explained the difficulties of keeping track of his +1 million dollar inventory and the fact that since they're selling it below the MSRP of the product, its fair game to raise it (ya because everyone knows that as long as the price of something you buy is lower than the MSRP of the producut, everyone is getting a killer deal). 3)Finally I agreed on the higher price and unknown ETA because of the fact that I would rather pay a couple of bucks more to support a Canadian business over foreign businesses. HERE'S THE ICING ON THE CAKE: he was nice enough to inform me that the new quoted price is not a firm price anymore! It might go up even more when it actually arrives because his supplier might charge him "fuel surcharge increase, ship rate increase, exchange rate increase and so on, the retail price will reflect any of these increases." (THESE ARE HIS ACTUAL WORDS!) 4) Gave up and bought the same model from another Canadian model store located in Toronto. For the same price as when I bought it originally from the GPM website. I don't know anyone who would've even gone past point 1 before cancelling the order. The level of frustration I received from this store is unimaginable. Please just avoid the possible headaches and avoid these guys at all cost. No wonder they have over 1 million dollar of stocks available. Who would ever buy anything from these guys is beyond me!?

It's just that my preferences are kind of focussed now and they are selling to a higher audience. So good for tenn! They also have a lot of board and card games. Friendly staff and good location. You msg find yourself reconsidering a few items based on cost but that's more an industry thing than anything to do with the shop.

Unfortunately the truck arrived with a wheel broken off. It may have happened in shipping. I called them and they didn't have a replacement so they simply let me keep the truck and promised to refund my money as well. These guys made the best of an unfortunate situation and I would recommend them to anyone. They care about their customers and will take care of any problem that arises. I'll end up gluing the wheel back on, it won't turn but at least I'll have something. I'm also going to try to find another truck from somewhere else. I hope their customer service is just as good. Thank you!!!
