Pretty cool hobby store, it has RC cars, RC boats, Drones, train sets and a bunch of RC parts. It…read morealso has a small section of musical instruments and another section for model cars,planes, army vehicles. One thing i was surprised about was that the store owner sells Gunpla (Gundam model kits). He has a small selection of Gunpla but you can tell him what you want and he will get it for you in 3 days depending what day you tell him and his prices are good on gunpla, as for prices on the RC stuff i am not sure, you would have to pop in and see prices for yourself. I will admit the store does need a lil tidy up here and there but the store owner who runs it does it by himself and he is older too, looks like he can use some help. Definitely stop by and check it out

One of the worst, doesn't have anything in stock and always just ordered everything, This place…read moreused to be a bad music store, that sold off brand music equipment for to much money now it's a bad hobby store, I asked for props for a dji phantom and they didn't have them, no hpi parts, but if you want red cat stuff this is your shop , i will say it's the best in town since it's the only in town. store is a mess and over priced

So glad to have found Jeremiah a the Hobby Shop in Merced. He is very knowledgeable, and has a large selection of RC supplies. If he doesn't have what you need, he is happy to order. Proud to support a local both watch and race her truck. She has caught the RC bug too!

Super big store with lots to offer, prices ranging from low to moderate. Most the time a lot of…read morestuff is on sale, especially after a holiday/season has ended. Personally I shop at hobby lobby specifically for gallery glass paints and crotchet yarn, they have a wide variety of colors and textures. There's plenty of items for any type of hobby, also kids toys. PLUS This is a great place to shop for kids gifts! maybe like ages 2-12, a lot of trendy cool stuff you won't find anywhere else. Store associates are knowledgeable of what they have in stock and where it's located in store. Check out is often super slow, line gets long fast which is inconvenient when I'm just running in for a few specific items. Nonetheless 10/10 recommend

My man and I came here unknowingly after closing (7:58 to be exact), thinking they closed at 9…read more Upon entering, mind you while others were entering and still shopping within the store, we were very rudely greeted by a tall woman wearing a red shirt with a long blonde ponytail and bangs. Hubby and I were very off put by the demeanor of the employee, and the weird atmosphere. Definitely will not be back. Be warned, do not come here if you're looking for helpful employees and a kind environment.

The good; #1:Friendly atmosphere…read more The Bad; #1:This stores invintory is heavy on the Chinese made products rather than Japanese. I was told: "the lower price helps it sell faster". That may be true but at the expense of quality. #2:The slection of authentic Japanese figures is low and nearly twice the import price. #3:The owner (not the shop keep, he's cool) walks through the shop about bi-weekly to jack up the prices according to damand. This means no retail prices on older products (prices go up not down over time). #4:Most of the time they are closed during store hours. If you want to make sure your not wasting a trip out there you have to call ahead of time. #5:Small Gashapon/Coin-op figures are their best items, even here be wary of Chinese knock-offs. It feels as if someone bought a Chinese Anime lot off of eBay, jacked-up the prices and put it in a small shop. My recommendation: Pay less, wait a little more and import it straight from Japan. My favorite anime import sites are: Amiami or HobbySearch PVC. There are much better options out there my fellow Otaku. Go beyond, PLUS ULTRA!!!

Great selection of various anime and video game merchandise. Shop is pretty "cozy," so be mindful…read morewith COVID.

The service I got was outstanding. I am very impressed. There's a guy in the framing desk named Julio. He took the time to go through all the different framing options with me: different materials, arrangements, color combinations, etc. He gave me information about all the different price ranges and helped me find the best option. The final result was amazing: the diplomas look beautiful and will definitely be the fanciest items in my office. Thumbs up to Julio. That guy is a gentleman and a scholar.

From getting your RC serviced/upgrades, advice/opinions this is the place to go or be at. Every person that assisted from employees to the owner Damon were super welcoming being new to the hobby.
