This place is a genuine treasure and almost a "snapshot" back in time before video games became the…read morecommon pastime for so many. I have been going to HoH since my Grandma used to take me to their original Clearwater location on South Ft. Harrison, when I was a little kid. I miss that place so bad. It was great fun to see the owner have to use a step-stool to climb over that cluttered counter to get to his seat behind the cash register! A family business, still going strong for decades, that guy with the white crew cut is "Bob," the owner... ...and Bob has more information about ANY retro hobby than you can imagine! His selection of old and new plastic model kits is the stuff of legend. I have brought out-of-town friends here just to browse for kicks, and they always leave finding something of pure wonder! While not my passion, Bob is also the guy to go to if you are into ANY radio-controlled sort of hobbies whatsoever! Car, plane, boat, etc... He is an RC expert! HoH's inventory is vast and impressive. But if you can't find it here, just ask Bob and he will gladly order it for you! I wish more parents would encourage their kids to put down the video game controllers, and build a plastic model kit. An afternoon of glue and paint can be FAR more rewarding than just silly and hollow, temporary pixels on a screen. How much more rewarding? Actually, I now run a small side-business, making and selling my own sort of "model kit" related art objects. While he may never know his impact, Bob the owner here, is one of my main influences that introduced me to the joy of building and painting objects with my own two hands! So please give HoH a visit! In our modern "video game" era, this sort of place has become almost extinct, and that is a real shame indeed...

Been trying to contact them for a return. My order didn't go through so I ordered from elsewhere…read more Then a parcel arrives and it's my order. No emails from them at alll hence why I ordered from somewhere else. Not one single email so you would assume you didn't order. I checked my bank and yes it took my money. Now I can't get in touch. They never ever pick up the phone. They never reply to emails. Disgusting customer service. Beware of this company the owner is a joke and ignores your emails.

Procrastination is my middle name, it will probably be on my tombstone. It's an unfortunate trait…read morethat I inherited from my saint of a mother. For some god for sake'n reason, I wait until the very last minute to get things done, but I always manage to pull off whatever it is I was waiting to do. Of course, this applies to Christmas shopping, and once again I found myself driving around on Christmas Eve with all of the other procrastinators this year. The a-typical thoughts running through my confused brain, where should I go, what do the kids want, and how much am I going to spend with my zeroed out bank balance? The joys of the Christmas season!!! My son is almost 12, and I remember at that age I was fascinated with models (of course the pin-up kind as well) of all kinds, cars and airplanes especially. To be able to craft something with your own two hands is ridiculously fun, and fills you with a great sense of accomplishment. With that in mind, I used my friendly YELP app to do a quick search of the area for a hobby shop. I was shocked to see that there were very limited selections, but one particular place drew my attention, Hobbytown USA. This gem of a store is tucked away in the Brandon Regency Square Mall, right next to the movie theater. Walking into the place felt like being transported back in time, as I immediately felt like a kid again! If you can't find something to buy for one of your kids, or even yourself, then there is definitely something wrong with you. Hobbytown USA is loaded with games, puzzles, remote controlled vehicles (even the outrageously expensive ones that can go faster than your Yugo), model cars, airplanes, tanks, helicopters, including all of the accessories that go with building them (paints, stickers, brushes, glues etc), posters and pictures, and tons of other items. You can literally get lost in there for hours while looking at all of the amazing stuff they have to offer, I know I did (okay, maybe the nerd in me escaped for awhile). What's even better is the incredible staff there that is ridiculously helpful and knowledgeable, and won't try and oversell you. All I can say is that I had an absolutely amazing experience here and that I will definitely be back, next time with my son, as I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees all of the wonderments abound. If you get the chance, do the same as your kids will have a great time!

I think the service and selection you can find at this hobby shop is more than you would believe…read more The people are very nice and I can't wait to go back.
