Came to HobbyTown Toms River for Pokémon cards. There's a strict "one pack per person" rule --…read moreunless, of course, you're a friend of the staff. I watched another customer get three packs no problem, but when I asked for the same, I was told the exception was only because they "knew him" and the cards were for his kids (that apparently doesn't matter if they are there or not) to quote what I heard a worker say one-time "doesn't matter if you bring your friends or family and they are there it's still limited to one per person." The next day? The rule was suddenly back in full force for everyone else. So if you enjoy selective policies and a little favoritism with your purchase, this is the place. Otherwise, don't expect fairness -- just a reminder that you're not part of the inner circle.

My partner and I both have alot of hobbies and HobbyTown had an amazing selection of items at great prices. I left with a few Gundam models and Pokemon cards with sets I haven't seen elsewhere. My partner is into dungeons and dragons as well as Warhammer and he left with books, models and a few new game sets. There's a good selection- you won't find everything you want but there's certainly some gems in here. The staff were lovely and helpful. I'd come back here next time I'm in the area.

They may not always have what you came for, but you'll always leave with something you want. Great place Great selection Great Staff Oh, and they offer some great deals if you are a monthly subscriber AND they always do up free comic book day really well. They do a great job of balancing their older clients and their younger cleints so that it's enjoyable to all.

This is, in my mind, exactly what a beach town store should be like. DIY / repair hardware, tools,…read morebeach-themed household goods and decorations, toys, beach equipment, and more. Walking in here, you can tell it's not like other stores and you can just feel the beachy, summer vibes. Maybe that's just because of the associations I feel between this store and summer vacation, or maybe it's just because that's what this place is all about. It's a bit more expensive than some other stores, but you're 100% paying for convenience. It's one block from the beach and located right in the heart of Lavallette. In my opinion, it's a great place to have in the neighborhood.

Simple - You earned this because the older guy that was at front cash register (probably the…read moreowner-but who cares- YOU were the FIRST impression!) area did not even look up at my family ONCE when we came in. Couldnt say hello? Good Morning? Then when others came in immediately afterward he was all chirpy and happy. Forget you - if you dont even have the common courtesy towards all that enter your store. Seriously- Thank you whoever you were for making us NOT want to spend a dime in your store! Work on your manners.

We stopped by with our 3 kids 3 under 3 due to seeing some gorgeous clothing in the window. We…read moreplanned to scope out some of the clothes and didn't plan to stay long and if anything buy a dress or two for our daughter. The woman at the register was incredibly sweet, however a couple minutes after we entered, another woman came into the store. Im not sure what the woman's name was, but she was an employee. We got there about 10 minutes before closing although we were unaware of that until the other employee brought it up. We apologized & responded by saying we were just trying to get an idea of what the store had and didn't plan on staying past closing. The woman responded with "well some of us have places to be & lives to live". She came off as very rude, despite the other employee insisting to her that she would be fine alone, and that she could leave early. We got there at about 5:20, and the door was not locked, nor did the register woman mention she had an issue at all. My husband went back inside after loading our kids up to explain to the nicer woman, how off putting the other had been, and that it's deterring us as new customers to come back. He went back to iterate that behaving that way was just very rude of her, and we also wanted to ensure that she wasn't the owner of the store. 1 star off for that woman, 4 stars that maybe could become 5 depending on our next visit which will hopefully be a better one. I don't know if she was having a bad day, or an emergency, but we did not appreciate her demeanor towards us, especially in the presence of our children. The only reason we are going to give this place another shot, is due to the woman at the register who was both apologetic & sympathetic on behalf of her coworker. 05/19/2026
