Worst card shop in the area! Everything is super high and over market by a lot! It's scalper prices…read moreon top of scalper prices. Won't even deal with you when you ask for market prices. I am not even asking for msrp, I am asking for market!! Staff is super rude. Shops like this make the hobby just horrible. I would take my business elsewhere.

Good selection, comparable to other hobby lobby's I visited…read more I wish, just once, that checking out wasn't a nightmare. It feels like once you're in line they don't care. They had me go to a shorter line, which was for returns, when I had no return. I must have watched 20 customers behind me leave before me. A 15 minute wait for 2 customers ahead of me. I'll admit this seems to be an issue at most locations. I don't think this corporation will ever figure it out, and because of that I generally avoid these stores.

This new Hobby Lobby opened in Aug 2019 and took over the old Toys 'R Us / Babies 'R Us building…read moreafter they had been closed for a while. I wondered at why they opened another one only 5 miles down the road from the one in Latham. The sales associate said it's also smaller by about 10,000 sq ft, but I couldn't tell because it had the same amount of shelf space for the hobbies that I like, so it's no big difference to me. I can't believe that a Hobby Lobby would require more square footage than a Toys 'R Us! If you're a bargain hunter like me, you'll find some gems at steal prices in the clearance section, but since this is a new store, there aren't a lot of marked down stuff yet, as expected. One of my favorite hobbies is model rocketry and HL has a dedicated section stocked with a variety of kits, launchers and engines to outfit your own (scaled down) Cape Canaveral launch site. But alas, they worked out a deal with the manufacturer (Estes) to discount their line and the 40% off coupon can no longer be used on those products ("Your Price," yellow tag). I took home a rocket kit anyway and applied the weekly 40% off coupon to an electric slot car. I'll have to stop in here again in the future, when we're in this area again.

A bit of a small store but the staff is very welcoming and always ready to help you if needed. The…read moreselection is pretty good if you are a collector and know what you're looking for as well :)

They have an interesting collection of sports memorabilia, vinyl records, movie and TV memorabilia,…read morevintage video games, etc. I want in, having heard about the vinyl from another shop down the street. The store smelled horrible, but I was determined to find treasure. I walked out with 4 albums. Later that evening, I checked my receipt and found that I had been overcharged from the sticker price on one of the albums. As a semi serious collector I also loaded my new funds into my Discogs collection, and discovered that each of the albums were overvalued at this store by $15-$20. So, shame on me for not checking, Shame on them for ripping off customers. I won't be going back. If you want vinyl at a fair price, The Re-Collector is only a block or so away.

Dabbled in collectable sports cards as a kid but lost interest. Grandsons, however, have developed…read morea strong interest in collecting and we wanted to fostr that interest. Happened upon Jeff Finnigans shop on Central Ave, in Albany. Store is amazing with a huge inventory of sportscards of every type...Baseball, Football, Basketball, Soccer and most any other sport you can imagine. Not only is the selection vast at virtually any pricepoint but the owner, Jeff, seems like he has a story about every card in the shop. He is very generous with his knowledge and whether cards are for you or a young person, he's happy to share. In fact, when we told him that our grandsons were big sports fans and had started collecting, he lit up and he's been collecting since he was a kid. Knowledable, friendly and gracious, you won't go wrong with a visit to his shop.

This place feels like what I remember KMart being like before it started to really go down hill…read more It's not a bad place, but the parking lot pretty much is. They tend to have what you order online, but when you go inside to pick up because they decided that day that they're either understaffed or don't feel like bringing it out to your car, you realize that this place is a bit disorganized. Returns checkout where they tell you to go has two sets of registers... one for returns and another for order pickup & registry. They'll just close the order pickup one and then not tell you... they'll pretend that the register isn't there and that you're not standing in front of it because you read the signs. Then employees will come and ignore you... if you're trans, they'll even misgender you despite a transman working there too... well, whatever... that's the area, I guess. Speaking of the area, I parked my car in the "pick up area" because they said they weren't coming out because of "inclement weather" while it wasn't that cold, not snowing, not raining, not even windy, just overcast... they were just understaffed and didn't bother to mention it while you placed the order. So then I dealt with the rest of it when you went inside... and you realized that the entire returns area is just a complete mess with no lane boundaries.. and just walking around shopping carts. The neighborhood seems to be taking a downward turn because as I come out of my car to go inside, two high school kids come up and ask if I wanted to buy candy for their high school... this is the kind of 3rd world crap I'd deal with if I went to my father's home country of the Dominican Republic where they try to make you buy Chiclets gum you don't want. I used to get pick up orders here instead of Clifton Park where I lived because they'd actually have stuff here I wanted to get vs Clifton Park. But I'm a bit done with Target now. Between that experience and the one where I went down the road to Cohoes and they gave me all dented food and some expired products, this is about what KMart stared becoming in the 90s near me... just people not caring and disorganization. I hate going to the returns counter and next time I have that start of an experience, I'll just cancel the order and let you all put the food back. The area just seems like it's going down hill and it's probably not just the Target, but even Papa Johns on the other side of the lot feels like you walked into a bad part of town and everyone's just looking for a fight.... There are better places to go.
