Variety of inventory (especially for the RC enthusiast). Parts for repair of most items…read more Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Excellent customer service. Brian, Robert, and Kirk care about their customers as much as their passion for their hobbies. They don't go for "the big sale". They take care to answer all your questions honestly. It's obvious when you speak with them, that they want you to be satisfied with your purchase and happy with your hobby. They want to earn your repeat business. They have mine. Started going 20+ years ago when Phil was still the owner, and Brian a "newbie". Now, I got into a new hobby, and Brian made sure I got the right start, by giving me honest opinions and helping me make an intelligent start, without a large investment. I had so much fun, I brought my son in, as well as a few co-workers who are all excited about their new hobbies. Brian and his staff helped me with replacement parts, and helpful suggestions, as I learned the ins and outs of the hobby. They even examined my equipment when I was having difficulty troubleshooting. Now I'm ready to go to the next level, and a larger investment in my newfound hobby. Brian was right there with invaluable information and offering to help with any questions I may have. I could have purchased through some online store, but I will always go to Phil's first, before purchasing elsewhere. Far too many businesses don't understand the value of good customer service and building relationships. The folks at Phil's Hobby Shop sure do - without a doubt. I refuse to go anywhere else, and I recommend them at every opportunity. I urge you to support your local hobby shop before making that online purchase. You won't regret it.

Staff is always rude, only help you if you ask for a specific item, they have no idea what parts…read morecross reference even is. Go to MyTobbies in Tampa, you will thank you did.

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.

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...
