The owners were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the hobby. They took the time to help get my car properly dialed in and answered all of my questions along the way. Stores like this are sadly becoming a dying breed, and it's refreshing to find a shop that combines expertise with genuine customer service. Wishing them continued success for many years to come.

Unfortunately for me, the new place is 25 miles further north at the Jefferson Valley Mall. This is as far as you can go in Westchester county because Putnam county is just across the street. Like most malls across the country, JVM is not doing great, with not a lot of tenants or customers and it just seems to be barely hanging on. At least their anchor store, Macy's hasn't bailed yet. I'm hardly ever up this way, but when I am, I'll stop in at WTH to see any new stuff (and to see the old stuff). The new store has almost as big a footprint as the Galleria store, but way bigger than the previous White Plains mall one, which got the wrecking ball also (I'm not sure if that's a good omen). Everything was moved here, every plane, train & automobile (literally) and even Barbie (but no Oppenheimer). John told me he has big plans for the new store and to check back for new inventory soon. Each aisle has a hobby specialty. The biggest proportion is in the back where all the model trains reside. Glass cabinets are filled with vintage Lionel trains and other well known brands. The Hot Wheels collection made it over, as well as the Barbie and Hess truck collections. But my main hobby focus are model airplanes and ships and their collection of old kits is pretty impressive. They get new old kits all the time by buying up old collections and reselling. This trip, I got (3) 70's-80's nostalgic plastic airplane kits that I've had or wanted since I was a kid. I could wander the aisles here all day and they would have to kick me out. Maybe I'll go back after I grab some lunch at the food court...

Ordered an item through their Walmart storefront…read more I placed an order for an item, and within 40 minutes had some unexpected changes personally, so I requested that the item be canceled. I placed the order approx. 330p est. and requested the cancelation approx. 410p est. The immediate response was "I can't do that because it shipped out this morning". Obviously that would be impossible. According to the FedEx tracking, it wasn't picked up until the next day after several email communications were had. Most of which, the seller was condescending and unprofessional. Since then I have repeatedly asked for a return to processed immediately, and I would send back in the original shipping box. They are rude and unwilling to work with me.

Seasonal items in the front then tech stuff (cables, battery charger and etc) maybe sport items and games. Great place when you need a last minute gift (games, puzzles, coloring books, toys, seasonal items) or if you need to keep the kids busy (outdoor toys and swim items). Need to find candy as well as emergency items such as a cables, battery charger, head phones, small gym items - yoga mats and weights, and makeup). I always find a gift that I need. Need an item?

Of course, some of the usual stuff. St. Paddy's Day and Easter are coming up so the store is filled with stuff for the holidays esp Easter - pick up some cute Easter baskets (different every year), easter eggs, grass, chocolate and treats for the kids. They even have pet themed gifts and gear. Don't forget the party favors, coloring books, crayons, putty, games, cards, snacks as well. This location is a decent size and stuff is easy to find in the store. Large tube of smarties, etc. Do you like Haribo snacks? This store has the biggest variety of flavors 5 for $5...not bad!

I came from quite a distance and the drive was well worth it.

I build and paint 40K, and although HQ Hobbies doesn't carry 40k minis I go there for all of my supplies. Huge selection of paints, brushes, varnishes, setting solutions, etc. Literally anything you could need regardless of what you're building or painting. The owner is himself a model builder and is knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to chat with. Overall this place is easy to recommend. When you're driving by, go slow because it's easy to miss the store. It's on one side of a strip mall and given the nearby tree coverage it's easy to miss.

Although the place was about to close at end-of-day, the store was open when I walked in, and was…read moreamazed with this store. Although the aisles were pretty narrow, but the prices were higher than average. Although this place features items for the hobbyist in outdoor hobbies, they do sell craft paints and a few others for indoor hobbies as well. With the prices, come the employees. The employees were knowledgeable, but hard to come-by. They might have been in the back, or out of sight, but they weren't seen, no matter where I looked in the store. I would have expected at least one of them to be behind the counter, but there was no one nearby to ask. (both behind the counter); there was no one on the production floor to help move things back to where they should be(which most stores tend to have at least 1 during all times). This might not have been the best hobby store I've been to, but it certain won't be my last. I don't get down to Poughkeepsie much (from a town in the northern part of the county), but personally, I have my stores close by that I can easily purchase from that doesn't give me much problems.
