I love building things. A lot of my work involves me sitting on the phone taking calls all day…read more While doing this I like to build little models. I've imported a few from Japan over the years, mostly for obscure things like Samurai Pizza Cats, then I discovered this place. While there are no Pizza Cats here (those models have long been out of production, I just pick them up on Japanese auction sites) they have an impressive selection of models. From tanks to anime it's all here in its box ready for you to build. They supply everything, from glue to paint and can also offer advice. They also supply Scalextric (or other racing set) parts, and have a nice model train set on display. I always wanted a model train set as a kid, and envisioned something along the lines of what they have here. Looking back, what I wanted was never achievable, which may be why model trains tend to be the hobby of older people. There's a lot to do here, and a lot to keep you busy. The prices are reasonable, maybe a little bit less than some other places I know of that sell models. If you walk through the doors of Hobby Habit don't expect to leave empty handed.

I really do like this shop. When I'm not writing or messing around with computers, I just…read moreabsolutely love putting models and things together. I've managed to limit myself mainly to building static models, but the call of the remote-controlled planes just seems to get a bit louder every year. The other thing that I'm drawn to more and more as the years go by, is the phenomenon that seems to be model trains. The attention to detail is just astounding. I really like this shop. The staff are really helpful and full of good ideas if you're piecing something together and you're a bit stuck on how to proceed. They've got plenty of paints and that sort of thing, too. I think this is an awesome shop, and could spend hours in here.

I have a mad love for collectables, figurines and toys! That leads to my mad love for this store. I…read morehave actually been following this store from when it was a small in Regent Arcade. I was so happy to hear that they were able to open a bigger store near Rundle Mall on Twin Street. As a result, they now have three times the amount of stuff for me to rummage through. This store stocks all new collectables. Everything from Star Wars to My Little Pony to Nightmare on Elm Street. If you are after action figurines, signed posters or cool plush toys, this place is for you. The owner of the store is always happy to have a chat with you and help you find the collectables you are after. So, if you are missing something in a series, be sure to stop by and ask him if he can locate it for you. I found one of my prized toy possessions in this store, a plush Aliens Chest Buster! Yup, I totally own a funny looking alien spawning toy. Oh, I know you geeks will appreciate how much I love this little guy. This is a great store for gifts for children or adults. You will find something for any lover of comics, cartoons, Sci-Fi or horror. And yes, it's still totally cool to collect toys!
