I've never rated a hobbie shop, but this place seemed really neat. It's located right in the…read moredowntown and was walkable from the Colebrookdale railroad. There are several aisles of model train accessories, scenery, train sets and tracks of several different scale types. The prices seemed in line/a tad higher than most places I've shopped. They had an area with Thomas trains and a small end cap with a Thomas wooden train set kept my youngest occupied while we checked out the rest of their offering. They had a couple aisles of models - ships, military planes, cars etc., rocket sets, RC cars, supplies like paint and tools and some games like Warhammer which I'm not familiar with at all. I enjoyed stepping back in time while I walked around and love it that small operations like this are still around. We bought some Thomas items that were fairly priced and are happy with them. Give these guys a look if your in the area and support small businesses!

They have a wide variety of models, a great paint section including Valejo, AK, Citadel, Model Painter, Mr Model, etc. The staff were very friendly and the prices were reasonable for retail.

They have an amazing selection of trains, including all different gauges, also miniature buildings, animals, people and everything else for your trains set. We didn't have an opportunity to stay too long so I'll be back to take a more in depth look in the near future. The staff are very helpful and super knowledgeable so come with questions and leave with answers. They also have a display with several trains set up with buttons for people to try to see what lights up or makes sound. The trains were not moving while we were there and they were kind of busy in the lead up to Christmas so we didn't ask to have them running, but I'm sure they would have turned them on if we had asked.

It's nice to see card shops in a local town area like Phoenixville where tcg players can gather and…read morehave a good time. Among the game shops nearby, this seems to be the main one where people can sit down and play a good game of commander. The card shop isn't particularly large, but has a front area with games and figures, a few glass counters with singles in the middle, then about 6 open tables in the back area for group TCG games. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The single cards that were available were most of the popular commander stables people might be looking for, but from my understanding, they also have an online TCG Player inventory that you can browse through. Their commander open-play nights are also convenient - Mondays and Saturdays. This is a great alternative to the other major store about 30 mins away, Alternate Universes, which has their commander open play on Tuesdays and Fridays. Overall, great place to come and chill out for MTG commander games.

The owner(I believe) was very helpful and knowledgeable. There was a large selection of gundams and other D&D style games. They have nights that are scheduled to play these games and have several huge tables to play on. The most impressive thing was the selection of paints, Tamiya and Valero, and model tools. Where we live near Nashville, there are not any hobby shops. It was great to stock up on some paints and supplies I needed, to put hands on product, not on a keyboard. If possible PLEASE stop in and support this local business, because it really is great to have a physical location to touch and browse actual product.

I got excited to go in and shop, but the way the employees treated me, I wouldn't spend a penny. There was one guy outside wearing a store t-shirt so I started chatting with him since I was about to go in HIS STORE, and he literally just stared at me like I was from Mars. Didn't even reply to my speaking. So I went in to browse and there were several other employees in the back area who clearly saw me but couldn't be bothered to greet me, welcome me into the store, ask if they could help me out in any way. Turned around and left without buying anything, because let's be real: everything in that store is available online and cheaper. The only reason to buy at those prices is to support local, but if local can't treat you with a shred of dignity, why would you?
