    Order from Lombard hobbies. They always get your order correct and deliver fast at half the price. If you are visiting in person, for the prices MWM would be great. If you are ordering, you may have a huge problem. Website ordering advertising quick and easy. That is a lie. The website did not work declining my pymt. I had to call the order in. The order took over a week to come with a high shipping rate. Once I received my 2 tankers, they sent the same road number because that how real life works. I called this in with Anthony who sound like he could care less. They made me pay for the return shipping and promised and shipping refund w the receipt. I finally receive the correct order 3 weeks later but no refund. At this point I went from 3 star to 2. I called back they said there was a problem and would re-issue $18 shipping refund. This was last Monday, 9 days ago. No refund because they are now thieves. Mind you the original order was 01/31/25, 6 weeks ago. Taking them from 2 to 1 star. Imagine being super excited for something you found at an amazing price and it turned into the worst ordering situation possible and became more expensive than any other place. They can KEEP the money. NEVER order from this place!

    HUGE SELECTION

    Great job as always. Fast shipping is why I continue to order from MMR. The selection is terrific and I always find what I need.

    The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Also game nights have been a blast and I've meet a lot of people and found new games to get.

    I love this store the owners are great guys very helpful and happy to see them both doing well thru…read moreeverything. Really couldn't have better staff there everyone is helpful knowledgeable and friendly. Lucas is a really smart and quick guy knows what I'm after just about every time I come in. Only thing I can say bad about the plane is it's too easy to spend money haha. They give the term lhs a good name and I'm happy to come in browse their wares and spend money on cool things I don't need or the things I do :)

    Short Version: Norm helped me over the phone and in store and he was amazing! I had a wonderful…read moreexperience and will definitely be back! Long Version: I had been looking at getting into RC cars for awhile and had settled on a brand and model on my own after extensive research. Traxxas Bandit for $189 seemed perfect for me. It was reasonably priced with good standard performance and features. I was looking online but everywhere I saw one, it said "could take up to 10 business days for delivery" and I really wanted it sooner so I started looking around in town. A different store had one and they were nice enough but I didn't know the $189 didn't come with battery/charger and wasn't quite ready to spend the cash. When I WAS ready, I decided to call a Hobby Town instead because the other store was a little dirty and while the employee answered my questions, they weren't very personable and when I thanked them for their time but said I wasn't aware of the full cost and I'd have to postpone my purchase, they just kind of stared off and didn't say anything. Like they were annoyed I didn't spend any money after I took up only approximately 5 minutes of their time. Not the worst customer service but still far from the best. Norm at Hobby Town however was wonderful from the beginning. I perused their site to make sure they had what I wanted and called to confirm. Norm answered with an enthusiastic and upbeat attitude, answered all my questions, reserved the unit behind the counter for me and said "see you later" in a way that seemed he was actually excited to see and help me when I got there. When entering the store it was the same way, happy greeting and warm smile. I explained who I was and again he seemed excited. This made me feel very good about my choice to purchase here instead. Again he answered all my questions, made recommendations when asked for them and was even nice and acknowledged my children when they asked or told him something. We left the store smiling and excited to get my Bandit home and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Thanks again Notm, I'm sure I'll be speaking to you again soon!
