I'm sorry, but this is another hobby place where everyone acts like they don't give a crap if you…read morewalk in or not. Tried to shop there on a few occasions (I'm a big hobby spender, young lady/atypical hobbyist, don't look like it but I know my stuff, deep in it and need singles), and you step in and everyone has just more important things to do than help you. Feels rude and unwelcoming. Drove 30 mins with my partner looking for singles, and their whole case was covered in boxes of other cards so you could see nothing. Possibly some sort of tournament happening in the seating area but the store was open, we had money, we wanted to buy. I attempted to move them so I could see and hopefully buy, and after I moved the last of like 5 cases so I could see (we've been at the store for like 15 mins) what I'd assume is an employee approached me. "You are going to break the glass, so I'LL MOVE THEM FOR YOU." And he finally removes the last box (had no idea that me gently stacking cardboard boxes would potentially damage plexiglass, but whatever, no one helped us for like 15 mins. Like what?). So I peaced without purchasing any of the things I noticed I wanted after I could see their inventory. Super rude and unhelpful, seriously cost you my business. My partner bought a few packs of a set we were having trouble getting, not out of patronage, but feeling like it was a wasted trip if not. We won't be coming back. Awful taste in our mouths, be welcoming if you're a hobby shop, or at least pretend helping us is important to your business. Urging fellow hobbyists to hit up That's E or the one in Shrewsbury on Boston Turnpike over this crap. There's a reason they still have the in-demand sets...

Best model shop I've ever been to!…read more This place is absolutely bursting with amazing well-priced mech kits and products for hobbyists. If you're looking for gundam, historical model kits, Warhammer, ttrpg minis or just something cool: this is the place to go! I found a kit that has been sold out online for months- total score!! Staff was very kind and helpful. It's a small shop but has great vibes and if you need help finding things- just ask! The entrance is a bit confusing to find; it's through the shared doors in the plaza and up the short set of stairs. Ample Free parking in the area :)

I came here looking for Die-Cast Cars, which unfortunately they did not have. However I was…read moreimpressed by there selection in other categories, such as model planes, RC cars, Dioramas for trains, and a sizeable model kit section for Pokemon or Gundam. The service was very good, very busy inside but the staff knew their selection quite well and even offered some suggestions of places that may carry what I was looking for. The prices are reasonable as well. I can't speak on the things besides gundam, but the gundam were priced nearly the same as online retailers after shipping. A nice store that I would visit again for any hobbyist needs.

With so few hobby shops left, it is good to know the folks at Tyngsboro are there…read more If you are into N scale model railroading, they have a LOT to choose from. They also have HO, of course, but usually no one stocks N scale items. HUGE selection of cars and locomotives. Also buildings and vehicles. There is one isle of model car kits, and it is usually well stocked. The paint and supply section is also usually well stocked. Prices are a bit high, but when you think about it, this is a brick-and-mortar building and you are not paying shipping. So it is up to you if you want to pay their prices. The staff has been there a while and can be very helpful.

The store's got a lot of O scale (Lionel) trains and it's clearly the primary focus of the store, but there's also a couple aisles of HO scale and a couple displays of N scale.

They have a…read moregood selection of new stock (mostly O gauge, but some N, HO and G scale too) and a tremendous variety of used trains in all the popular gauges. In the back they have scratchbuilding supplies, books, and paint. I found some stuff here (O gauge vinyl roadbed) that hasn't been made in years. In talking with the staff, they purchase collections of stuff so they don't always know what they will have. It is like walking into a used train show, and the prices are very fair. The staff are also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I only wish I lived closer than 3 hours away!

An innocent walks in here, looking for specialty trading cards (or perhaps to sell some cards at a…read morefair price). Yes, sure, that's the easy and obvious reason to come here, and probably the reason that draws most here in the first place. But what the innocent doesn't know is this: Upon the first step inside as you push the door open, you catch your breath. And in that breath, you breathe, you smell history, friendliness, knowledge, and secrets waiting to be discovered. Just in that first single second, you realize you have found a special place that doesn't exist anywhere else in the whole entire world. You gaze in wonder, hardly daring to even take the next step for fear of missing some gem on the walls, shelves, stacks or showcases. You know immediately, that you will spend many seconds, minutes and hours here, just appreciating the wealth and variety of sports memorabilia. And if you don't know what you're looking at, you soon will. The owner has an easy way about him: insanely knowledgable, yet approachable and so kind to kids and grown-ups alike. He gives you a friendly greeting, and within a few minutes of chatting, he has sized you up, knows your inner longings and dreams regarding all things related to sports nostalgia. He saves and hoards special items for hundreds, nay, thousands of customers, delighting and taking honest pride in his humble quest, which appears to be to provide the perfect home for each and every one of the treasures he meticulously collects. Complete with a kids' club ("Gilbert's Gorillas,") where kids get free cards, games and an education in collecting, this is an old-school mom & pop joint that's as good as it gets. You can find a myriad of trading cards for every sport imaginable. You can find baseballs signed by famous people (yes, even the Big Bam is featured), sneakers worn by basketball players, jerseys and all manner of other great sports-related gifts. But mostly, you just have to experience the vibe in here. You may have wandered in here as a casual browser, but you will walk out an acolyte.
