    Owner Bob with his beautiful furball cat
    Georgie M.

    Wow! Dynamic Hobbies has the largest selection of plastic models, HO and Lionel O Gauge trains, gas powered planes and remote controlled toy cars, I have seen under one roof! And.... I haven't even gotten to their two huge train layouts. I started coming here a few weeks ago and met with Bob, one of the owners. Over forty years, I collected many HO model trains and buildings. Some were rare, but most were European and UK in variety. I was taken aback by his huge selection. I took lots of photos, so I'll let you decide if it's worth a trip to Hemet and the Inland Empire. For me, it was a rare find and I can see many hours of my retirement coming here. But there is no way you can come here and not leave with a little something special. Bob is a great guy and has the most beautiful cat. Five Stars.

    I May be wrong but i believe this place is locally owned and operated. It's definitely been around FOREVER and has TONS of hobby shop supplies for the average RC snob, train connector, sky flyer, helicopter enthusiast, rock crawler, race car, etc. Dynamic Hobbies probably has the key to the doorway that you haven't been able to open, so give them a chance. They are literally right on the corner of Santa Fe and Florida. There are plenty of things to do for kids. Yes they can get expensive, but the cheaper stuff is cool too! I ordered some parts for my sons RC car about 4 months ago and we got side tracked and went in today to get them and they were still there, ready to go for us! Thanks guys!

    Had a good time walking through the shop. In the back there is an o scale train layout with a few different trains on the track that one of the nice employees was able to run two of the trains around the layout. I was there in hopes of finding more o scale trains and scenery but unfortunately I got there too late because they had moved into selling HO and n scale. There's a nice selection of RC planes, cars and boats. I was able to pick up a plastic model that I'll get to enjoy this weekend. The people there are very friendly and knowledgeable. They do repair trains, but I'd call first to make sure if their person can repair your scaled train. To the gentleman who ran the trains. I truly appreciate it. I had a nice time watching those go around the layout and seeing the detail put into each of the buildings. Thank you again.

    Best Hobby in the Valley great customer service friendly environment and always have what I need. Bob the owner is fantastic and so is his staff

    Battery was individually inspected and they suggested that I took a photo for warranty purposes.  Helpful staff!

    As a newbie into the Radio Control car scene, they were helpful in deciding what vehicle to get, especially in the packed store at the time. Mel and Bob were detailed, especially to a beginner like I was, especially when my last RC car was over 30 years ago when I was growing up.

Dylan was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. He took the time to explain the cards, answer our questions, and guide us in the right direction without ever making us feel rushed or uninformed. His passion for the hobby and willingness to help made the entire experience enjoyable for both of us. It's rare to find customer service this genuine these days. Dylan turned what could have been a confusing experience into a fun and memorable outing with my great-grandson. I'm a huge fan of this shop and have already promised to stop by at least once a week. Highly recommended for collectors, newcomers, and anyone looking for a welcoming place to learn and enjoy the hobby.

She was looking for an album to store her cards in. The young man found her a white leather album for us to decorate that wasn't extremely expensive.

    it was a pleasure to be serviced by mark…read more he took care of my old iPhone (se2), prescribing a solution and disclosing a competitive price before service began. overall service took about 20 min in and out. i actually came while he was occupied with a client offsite (which is at no point a fault at all), and decided to wait until he got back, and he was professional in handling the compensation. mark is very accommodating, offering me a beverage while i waited, and giving me a ride home since i ubered to the store. we had small talk during the drop off and it is clear that he is an earnest man. i made sure to tip him for the experience, and i am completely satisfied with the experience at pcs connection.

Mark took the time to explain how battery cycles work, what to expect in terms of battery life, and how to properly understand battery health. It was clear he genuinely knew his stuff and cared about making sure I understood the repair--not just getting me in and out the door. Fast forward about four months, and I unexpectedly started experiencing battery degradation. I reached back out to Mark, not really knowing what to expect since I was outside the warranty window. Without hesitation, he offered to replace the battery--no questions asked. That kind of customer service is incredibly hard to find these days. Anyone can provide a service when everything goes right, but standing behind your work and taking care of a customer after the fact is what separates a good business from a great one. Mark earned my trust and my business for the long term. This is exactly how you create lifelong customers. Thank you, Mark, for taking care of me and for providing such outstanding service. I highly recommend PCS Connection!
