Today was my first time here and I will for sure be back. Came with my wife and kid as a Late…read moreFather's Day outing and we had so much fun here. There is something for everyone. Lots of toys, stuffies, and blind boxes for my little girl to get excited about. The trains in the front caught her attention and the many statues throughout the store she loved too. My wife had a good time helping me look at Gundam models and paints for my Warhammer army. We spent a good amount of time in the gaming room getting her some sleeves for her cards and checking out the books, figures, and tables set up for gaming. Ended up getting a few things and was an easy process. I think for the price of everything we got a good value cause we could have easily gotten everything online but I think part of what makes this place amazing is the passion the staff has for the hobbies, the amount of options they carry, and then if they don't have something you want (Warhammer stuff is what I was looking for) they will order it for you. We will for sure be back again cause I know I'll need more paints and I have my eye on a few models I saw in the Gundam/anime section.

There is a wide variety of model airplanes, toys, RC vehicles, and more. There was also this friendly cat wandering around the store like he owns the place, so I assume it was a bodega cat.

We must have spent an hour browsing and we probably still missed some stuff. The staff was great. We were greeted as soon as we entered. He also made sure we didn't need anything while we shopped. He was very attentive. When we found something in the case we wanted he was quick to come over. The contents of the store was extensive. They had trading cards of all sorts, comics, funko pops, lots of sports merchandise, and old and new toys. So much stuff I probably missed a lot. Their signed collectibles come with letters of authenticity. Also their prices seem very fair and reasonable. We will definitely be going back!

I walked into the Model Box on 7/12 from Chicago, IL looking for a plane model or two as I…read moreabsolutely love planes. The store is decent sized and very clean. There is a beautiful chocolate lab that sits right at the door, I am assuming it is the owner's dog. The owner or person who worked at the door however was hands down the rudest individual I think I have met this year. I came to the store seeking models that I cannot find and this store had some however the gentleman at the front BERATED my 9 year old son and make me feel like a common criminal. My son picked up a pen that will float it you toss it but the owner literally screamed at my son and asked him what would happen if the pen knocked down the plane, which was attached in four different spots and weighed easily 50-70 lbs and was secured in four different spots and the pen might have weighed .5 ounces, but I digress: the store was decent, some older models but some new. The models are overpriced by about 15%, knowing the Horizon Hobby website pretty much by heart but things like that do not matter to me. I WANTED to spend money here and the guy could have genuinely been having a bad day but I wouldn't spend money here because the man is an absolute asshole. So sir, if you see this review, i don't know what your problem is, but you did it to yourself.

Homewood Toy and Hobby, 2830 18th Street South, Birmingham, AL 35209…read moreWe have been going to Homewood Toy and Hobby for years, and it continues to be one of those special local stores that is a pleasure to visit. One thing we noticed right away is how convenient and accessible the store is. There is plenty of parking, and they have both a front and back entrance, along with a handicap ramp. That may sound like a small detail to some people, but for someone using a wheelchair or needing easier access, it makes a big difference. The aisles are also wide enough for a wheelchair, which is not always the case in small specialty stores. The service is prompt, friendly, and genuinely kind. The employees are wonderfully nice and helpful without making you feel rushed. My brother enjoyed looking around, taking his time, and selecting what he wanted to buy. That kind of patient, friendly atmosphere means a lot. The store has an amazing assortment of hobby items. They carry model railroading supplies, model airplanes, model cars, military miniatures, radio-controlled vehicles, helicopters, cars, and many other hobby and collectible items. It is the kind of store where you can go in for one thing and still enjoy walking around just to see everything they have. Homewood Toy and Hobby also has the feel of a place that has earned loyal repeat customers over the years. That says something good about both the store and the people who run it. We are thankful for a local hobby store like this and appreciate the kindness, accessibility, and great selection they offer. God bless! Mark and Tim Elders

I came in to check this place out and see what they had to offer, which is primarily related to the gaming world (think Magic and D & D). They really had a nice selection of stuff and they had a room (to the side) with tables set up for game nights (days). The staff were all really friendly and personable. Nice job of making people feel welcomed and even saying goodbye to everyone with a nice wish that you come back to visit soon .... regardless of if you made a purchase. Really nice store, with staff that seem to value the customer interactions ... something that I wish more places understood the value of doing and/or cared enough to interact in that way. I probably won't return, as I'm not into that type of stuff, but if you're into it, I think it's well worth your time coming to check this place out.
