    “It seemed to me that the store had 3 main sections of models- for cars, for gundam, and for military themed models.”

    My husband and I recently took our very first trip to Las Vegas, and one of the most memorable…read moreparts of our visit was discovering Downtown Hobby 9. My husband is a big Gundam fan, and while exploring the area, he found this amazing little shop just off the Strip. As soon as we walked in, I could tell he was in heaven--it was like watching a kid in a candy store! The shop had a fantastic variety of Gundam kits, including models from Japan and another section from China. The collection was so well-organized and fun to explore. While we were shopping, my husband noticed that some of the same kits he had purchased online before were priced about $15-$20 less elsewhere. But even knowing that, he didn't hesitate--he wanted to support this small, local business. That meant a lot to both of us, especially after learning the shop is backed by its own tight-knit community. "Locals supporting locals" is something we value. The staff were also genuinely kind and welcoming. I wish I remembered their names--they made the experience even more enjoyable. We ended up buying quite a few kits and were concerned about how we'd get them all back to San Francisco. Fortunately, they offered shipping, and everything arrived quickly and was packed with such great care. We also noticed they were selling some awesome shirts and learned that the artwork was created by one of their community members. The designs were so cool and creative that we decided to purchase a few. We actually came back for a second visit during our second trip to Vegas--and, of course, picked up even more Gundam kits and shirts. With recent tariffs being added to imports, we wouldn't be surprised if prices go up by the time we're back in August. So honestly, what we paid might end up being a deal! If you're a Gundam fan or just love supporting genuine, community-driven small businesses, Downtown Hobby 9 is absolutely worth a visit. We're already looking forward to stopping by again on our next trip--stay tuned!

    DTH9 is quite different than other shops, they have a gigantic Tamiya mini 4wd cart track. I am…read morenot a 4wd cart fan but it's still cool to watch. In addition. They have gunplas as well with premium Bandai. The staff was friendly as you can feel their passion towards model kit building. I didn't purchase anything as my collection has surpassed most shops. But I still like to browse around. It is a worthy shop to stop by. It's a 4.9 out of 5.
