It's a…read moregreat hobby shop that has a wide range of products relating to hobby trains, plastic scale models and a plethora of paint supplies from Humbrol, Tamiya, Model Master, Testors and Mr. Hobby among others. It's the kind of hobby shop that harkens back to the days of saving your money as a kid, and spending it on kits. They also have trains in various scales and supplies for hobby railroaders too. They're knowledgeable about the hobbies and supplies they stock. It's a family owned business. There is still a need for the brick and mortar stores, especially when you are trying to find a particular color of paint and need it today. Highly recommend them to all hobbyists!

I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

When my grandson liked WW2 planes the person (I don't want to say salesman since there was absolutely no pressure or upselling) explained the different types of planes. Also he recommended which ones for a beginner modeler based on size and number of parts. Very helpful. Plus I called for a question when he started painting. The question was answered right away without having to be transferred to another person. So very helpful in that store. I'd like to also click on value but they only let me select service and selection.

I visited Hobby Bench today around 4:20 p.m. and had a very disappointing experience with an…read moreemployee named Frank. I had interacted with him before and found his attitude unprofessional, and today's visit left me feeling the same way. Throughout my visit, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. When it came time to bag my purchases, Frank said that it wasn't his job. His tone and attitude made me feel unwelcome instead of appreciated as a paying customer. I expect basic courtesy and respectful service. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this location while Frank continues to work there. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are treated.

Once you walk in, you'll be greeted by tons of anime related products. They have everything from Sanrio, Pokemon, Digimon, Naruto, My Hero, Demon Slayer, One Piece, and more! The store itself is maybe 3-4 rows of product, but they definitely pack a lot of items onto the shelves! I had to stop wifey from trying to buy the whole store! Overall, the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. They have a lot of gems here and we are glad we stopped by. They also own a cafe directly across the street from this shop, so make sure to stop by there after to grab a drink and escape the heat!

After I followed up, they told me it was a preorder/back-order item, but they also said I had the option to pay for air shipment. I was willing to pay for air shipment and told them that, but they ignored my message for around two months. They only replied after I escalated the issue through my bank. Instead of properly resolving the issue, they kept referring to their no-refund policy, even though they never delivered the product to me and did not clearly state that it was a preorder before I made the purchase. I never received my product, and I never received a refund. Thiefs

I would give these folks my money before ever going to a big box store for games. Prices can be seen online and they are competitive with Amazon and other big stores, so why not support local?

I was greeted and asked if I was looking for anything in particular, but I was just browsing. Some of the collections and displays I found were: Warhammer; Star Wars; DnD; Magic the Gathering; Chaos Games; Catan; Pathfinder; Space Marines and Military Games, along with books, dice, battle mats, paints, board games, card games and figures of all sizes. They had several tables set up for live play, along with a posted schedule of upcoming events. It was all well done and thoughtfully laid out. I bought a few paints and two figures but plan on returning for future needs. Check it out folks. They're on Southern and McClintock.

There were quite a few, but not as many as I'd hoped (at least that he didn't have; it's well stocked for non-collectors or beginning collectors just fine, but not for someone who has been collecting for 15+ years lol). There was also a little bin of pins and stuff, so I grabbed myself a few of those. The staff up front talked to me a bit and when I'd mentioned my husband collects board games and retro games, they pointed me toward another shop in the little mall behind the DQ. Super kind of them!
